How do I code this?

Hi there!

I’m writing a scene where one of my characters is actually floating on the water and the other character is talking and reacting simultaneously. I’ve written it as: &CHARACTER walks to spot 0.281 167 516 in 7.5 AND CHARACTER does it while idle_lay_groggy_eyesclosed_loop AND CHARACTER faces right

The problem is that right after she finishes this, she stands up, and it looks horrible to see her standing in the middle of the ocean. I don’t know how long to keep the command (it’s set to 7.5 seconds right now) because each reader will take a different amount of time to read the dialogue. What am I supposed to do? Is there any alternative way to code this?

Thank you for your time and I hope someone can help :sweat_smile:

You have to make your character continue to do that animation right after, because once a character has finished walking they will go back to the idle position unless you make then do another animation

&CHARACTER walks to spot 0.281 167 516 in 7.5 AND CHARACTER does it while idle_lay_groggy_eyesclosed_loop AND CHARACTER faces right THEN CHARACTER starts idle_lay_groggy_eyesclosed_loop
