How can I animate my characters tears?

I have tried looking at all of the animated overlay video’s by Joseph Evans, and I still can’t figure out how to get the tears to move over her face. What exactly am I doing wrong? Do I have to change her actions so that her head is not bobbing up and down??? Please help. The script information is written below:

@SWEET DELORIA starts cry_sob_sad_loop
@overlay TEAR2 create
@overlay TEAR2 opacity 1
@overlay 5311933419945984_TEAR2 shifts to 215 369 in zone 2 using easeelasticin
@overlay 5311933419945984_TEAR2 scales to 0.056 0.056 in zone 2

@overlay 5311933419945984_TEAR2 shifts to 219 372 in zone 2 using easeelasticout
@overlay 5311933419945984_TEAR2 scales to 0.056 0.056 in zone 2

@zoom on 561 378 to 530% in 3.5

You need to put the time.

Man… I must be doing something wrong still… because it is still not working. I even tried changing the overlay’s function. Do you see anything else that I am possibly doing wrong???

@SWEET DELORIA starts cry_sob_sad_loop
@overlay TEAR2 create
@overlay TEAR2 opacity 1
@overlay 5311933419945984_TEAR2 shifts to 215 369 in zone 2 in 1 using easebouncein
@overlay 5311933419945984_TEAR2 scales to 0.056 0.056 in zone 2

@overlay 5311933419945984_TEAR2 shifts to 219 372 in zone 2 in 1 using easebounceout
@overlay 5311933419945984_TEAR2 scales to 0.056 0.056 in zone 2

First, if all place the tray and scale it on thr starting position nad than give opacity to not have the weird glitch visible on the app where you see it for a millisecond on another place and in another size.

And then animate it

if the first position is the start position of the tear and thesecond where it should go:

@SWEET DELORIA starts cry_sob_sad_loop
@overlay TEAR2 create
@overlay TEAR2 opacity 1
@overlay 5311933419945984_TEAR2 shifts to 215 369 in zone 2 in 0
@overlay 5311933419945984_TEAR2 scales to 0.056 0.056
@overlay TEAR2 opacity 1 in 1
@pause for 1
@overlay 5311933419945984_TEAR2 shifts to 219 372 in zone 2 in 2

But check your coordinates in the second spot because you shift it only a few pixels so this might be the real reason why it doesn’t look like moving.

I in your place would first try it without the easing function and ad them later if the linear will not work as intended - the linear is best for testing in my opinion

Thank you very much. I am going to see if I can follow your instructions.
