So on most Episodes Stories I read, their character is frozen WITH the behaviour and I was wondering could you make them do it any quicker?
Like Adrenaline, The Shaw Brothers etc. Also Episode.Amanda’s EA when you do dance_kpop_frozen
Also read my stories The Sin and Fatal Trouble

dance_kpop_frozen it’s a hidden animation.
If you want your character to be at the end of animation focus zoom or cut/pan to another zone while is doing an animation.
Hi.
I’ve written about this before here
Unfortunatly there is no way to naviagte an animation in code, but there are a few trix around so that you may use just the beginning or the end of it.
To get the end of an animation you have two possibilities.
A stuntdouble/twin You simple use another character, looking exactly like the character, that you place off screen. Have it do the animation, then with the use of spotdirecting have them switch places. Allowing you to get for instance the big eyed, crazy look from fingersnap without having the full animation.
Zoom away from the character, focusing on another character. Allowing the animation to play out of screen. This has it’s backside though, as animations as for instance fingersnap takes a large room to play out, as well as time. Time when you could have your character do other other things. It also takes focus off your character, interupting the storyflow if not worked in properly.
To use parts of an animation there is only one effeciant way.
Interrupting the animation. This is done by using the & sign for the animation command, and putting in exactly how long time you want it to run before going into the next.
&MC is nod_loop
@pause for 1
@MC is idle
Remember, an animation can never be interrupted without either going into another animation or the sceen ending. If no new animation is set, the animation will play out fully/continue on loop no matter what time you’ve put for the pause.

Ps. Notice that some of these trix only work properly without speech and narrator bubbles as those are worked/triggered by the reader.

The thing with “interrupting the animation” only works on the beginning of the animation, it doesn’t freeze it in the end.
As the text states, yes, this is true. (That’s why I didn’t highlight that part of the quote) The only way to use the end of an animation is to let it play out fully. But both to zoom away and using a twin do that.

Lol I already knew those tricks. I just pointed out that you were talking about ways to “freeze” animations at the end, so that doesn’t really work for that…
Thank you so much! i’ll be using this tip in my story now

Slight addendum: it’s BACKGROUND with OVERLAY with OTHER OVERLAY, not “and.”
