HELP! Moving Characters to Spot Fast

Hi! I could really use help to get my 2 characters in a certain spot while doing a kissing scene without breaking animation :weary: because that is exactly what they’re doing, breaking animation. I know how to spot direct but how to move them there quickly keeping the kissing animation? Somebody suggested 0.2 or 0.5 or 0.8 but I’ve tried all that, still breaks animation. Thanks a lot, been trying to figure this out for a while.

can you post your script (coding) what you have now? I will make it work for you.

When you’re moving the characters whilst they’re doing an animation, you should code it like this: :point_down:t3: to avoid breaking the kiss.


&CHARACTER1 walks to spot xxxx xxx xxx in zone 1 in 0.2 AND CHARACTER1 does it while kiss_passionate_loop THEN CHARACTER1 is kiss_passionate_loop

&CHARACTER2 walks to spot xxxx xxx xxx in zone 1 in 0.2 AND CHARACTER2 does it while kiss_passionate_loop_rear THEN CHARACTER2 is kiss_passionate_loop_rear


^ Obviously change the character names, zone and spot directing to suit your script.

or pause for how long you want :3 @Helena7

I’ve done the same in one of my stories, so I know it works! :blush:
I hope you can figure out what I meant.

It works but now he’s turning around quickly facing the other way then turns back around to kiss her.

@ELIJAH spot 1.334 79 48 in zone 2 and ELIJAH is kiss_passionate_loop_rear and ELIJAH faces left and MERCY spot 1.091 152 138 in zone 2 and MERCY is kiss_passionate_loop

Thank you so much it worked! Until after I tried to spot direct them again, now he’s turning around quicky facing the other way then turns back around kissing her.

What background are you using?! And what is the initial zoom?!

I’m using INT. VENICE KITCHEN - NIGHT background, in zone 2. And he pulls her over to him kissing her, then he turns left then turns back right again, kissing her and she turns facing right then turns back left again kissing him.

So, I corrected the script that you were given… but because of the spot directing you gave, they don’t move very far. Therefore they don’t move very fast.

The correct script, which ensures the characters kiss doesn’t break… and also ensures Elijah remains facing the correct direction, is: :point_down:t3:


@ELIJAH spot 1.334 79 48 in zone 2 at layer 2
@MERCY spot 1.091 152 152 in zone 2 at layer 1

There are multiple ways to create the bouncing illusion… but using the easebounceout function [attached to the zoom], is by far the smoothest looking way to do it. :blush:
