Hey Guys ! Anyone there to help me how make two characters do actions at the same time?

[Nikki_Michael]

Hey Guys ! I am writing a new story ( which means my First story ) and I am almost stuck at the place where I should make all the characters to do some action … Actually I used some tricks like
@Character 1 is animation AND character 2 is animation
but still it says
WARNING:
“@Character 1 is animation AND character 2 is animation” is not a valid directing command .

Guys I surely need your Help … Please Help me

You can do this using two ways (& for each character, and @ for last one or and for them all):

@JemU776

Using simultaneous stage directions where you have a character doing an action at the same time as the other character(s):

Method 1:

&CHARACTER is animation

@CHARACTER2 is animation

Method 2:

@CHARACTER is animation AND CHARACTER2 is animation

*Remember to replace the animation with an actual animation that exists. Want to add a third character in?

It would look like this:

&CHARACTER is animation

&CHARACTER2 is animation

@CHARATER3 is animation

OR

@CHARACTER is animation AND CHARACTER2 is animation AND CHARACTER3 is animation

So, an example from the Episode guides:

Using method 1-

&SARAH is dance1

&BOB is drink_sip

@SAM is cry_weep

Using method 2-

@SARAH is dance1 AND BOB is drink_sip AND SAM is cry_weep

They’ll do the animations at the same time and then afterwards, whatever is written next will happen.

@Nikki_Michael

“@Character 1 is animation AND character 2 is animation”

Make sure you capitalize their names. If you’re still stuck, do share your code.
