Help with Coding a Scene

Hello! I need some help with coding for a scene. I’m trying to have my characters come on the screen doing an action and then continue that action when they get to their spot. I’ve tried the code @character walks to spot and character does it while action THEN character is action, but there is either a pause in between the action or they just start idleing. Any suggestions?

try using:
@CHARACTER walks to spot x y in zone z in # and CHARACTER does it while animation_name
&CHARACTER starts animation_name

or add a pause like:
@CHARACTER walks to spot x y in zone z in # and CHARACTER does it while animation_name and pause for # then CHARACTER starts animation_name

to give the system time to read the full walk then animation. Sounds silly but sometimes the system ‘reads’ too fast and messes up :slight_smile:

Thank you! I’ll try that. I did figure out though it works if I use an @ at the beginning of the code and not an &, I know I wrote @ in my example, but I was using &.
