Help for directing characteres

[aelyna]

Hello.
I need your help. I really do not understand how to place my characters … as you see in the picture my two characters are on top of each other. I want to know how to position them so that they are face to face and they kiss each other. if you could do the sentences as you do for your characters. replacing x y z and s or T with the words used. because I can not understand how to do otherwise. thank you in advance good day.

Here are two guides by @RudeInception if you want to know more about spot directing and how to make your characters walk using spots :

Spot Directing (Moving Characters Around)

Hiiiii . I’m RudeInception and today we will be discussing Spot Directing. This method will allow you to move/place your character wherever you want to on the screen. Here we go: Spot directing is made easier when using the Episode app for help. The following image will serve as reference: [image] Taken from my story: LOBITA When you open the app to preview your story, you’ll want to click on Yellow and then click Red. Blue is used to switch characters. White toggles bet…

Spot Walking (Walking w/Spot Direction)

Hiiiii I’m RudeInception and today we will be discussing Spot Walking (term I’ve made up). This method will allow you to walk your character all around a scene while the character stays in the size and position you chose while Spot Directing. (What’s that? Spot Directing Guide) Here we go: The general command is @CHAR walks to spot S X Y in zone # in T S = size of the CHAR (default size is 1.280) X = X axis (left to right) Y = Y axis (up and down) zone # = the zone number (1…

And if you want your characters to be behind or in front of others or overlays, here is a guide by @Apes where she explains it very well :

HOW TO: Move Characters / Overlays to the Layers

Moving to the layers means something or someone can be in front or behind character or overlay. You can use as many numbers as you want: -100 to 100 (probably even more) CHARACTERS: Commands: @CHARACTER moves to layer # @CHARACTER spot % X Y in zone # at layer # [image] This picture is an example to show how numbers working. Entering characters (@CHARACTER enters from left to screen right) are always in front of everything (unless you move other characters or overlays to the layers) If …

Thank you very much. it worked. it was starting to drive me crazy

[Edera]

Hey, I edited my answer, because I forgot the layers, they are really important

[aelyna]

so now that I have managed to find some information thanks to you I would like to advance my character to the door of the hotel. except that I do not know how to formulate my sentence in order to move it forward.

Hey there @aelyna, moving this to Directing Helps and Tips since it’s about coding. If you have questions about anything, feel free to PM me and make sure to check out our Forum Tutorial for more info about where to correctly create topics.

[Alexx.lapakka]

To make them walk to a spesific spot you use this code:
@CHARACTER walks to spot % x y in s

In this case it would look something like this:
@MARTIAL walks to spot 0.326 141 439 in s

(You don’t need to add in zone # if the movement is taking place where your character is currently standing)

[aelyna]

Thank you very very much. It worked :D.
I began to despair

[Alexx.lapakka]

No problem
