Hello,
So, straight to the point:
-
I’d like to know how I could make a character enter from the center of the screen. I’ve seen it being done in a couple of stories I’ve already read. I tried the “@CHAR walks to”, “@CHAR spot … AND walks to”, but neither one of them seem to work for this.
-
The second issue I’m having is that when I change a scene, and I’ve put more than one characters there, it takes like a while for the 2nd, 3rd and so on, to appear (I’m always checking in the app, not sure if it makes any difference with the web preview).
This is the code where it happens to me.
INT. BLUE SCHOOL HALLWAY LOCKERS - DAY
@transition fade in black
&EXTRA1 spot 0.686 162 284 in zone 1 at layer -2 AND EXTRA1 faces left
&EXTRA1 is listen_nod_happy_loop
&EXTRA7 spot 0.715 102 274 in zone 1 at layer -2 AND EXTRA7 faces right
&EXTRA7 is talk_excited_happy
&EXTRA6 spot 0.661 63 313 in zone 2 at layer -2 AND EXTRA6 faces right
&EXTRA6 is blush_shy
&EXTRA5 spot 0.607 111 320 in zone 2 at layer -2 AND EXTRA5 faces left
&EXTRA5 is flirt_shy
&EXTRA3 spot 0.351 266 423 in zone 2 at layer -2 AND EXTRA3 is text_phone_neutral_loop
@EXTRA2 spot 0.268 115 456 in zone 3 at layer -2 AND EXTRA2 faces left
@EXTRA2 is talk_neutral
@EXTRA4 spot 0.257 77 461 in zone 3 at layer -2 AND EXTRA4 faces right
I’ve put the &s hoping that they’d all appear at the same time, but it doesn’t seem to make a difference. I have the same issue here:
INT. CLASSROOM DESK - DAY
@EXTRA8 spot 1.280 297 44 AND EXTRA8 is idle_sit_leanforward_listen_impressed_loop
@EXTRA9 spot 1.280 77 64 AND EXTRA9 is idle_sit_neutral_loop AND EXTRA9 faces right
INT. CLASSROOM DESK - DAY
@EXTRA1 spot 1.280 297 44 AND EXTRA1 is idle_sit_leanforward_bobhead_loop AND EXTRA1 faces left
@EXTRA6 spot 1.280 77 64 AND EXTRA6 is idle_sit_neutral_loop AND EXTRA6 faces right
I’d really appreciate the help, since I’m very new at this
Thanks in advance!
