Q1.

types of combinations to get my extras to continue animations while the scene is panning and nothing works

Use looping animations from the Art Catalog > Animations, and use the & command.

Q2.

@Shaydesofasia

ow do I get my main characters to not pop up in the scene and already be there when the camera pans to them

Make sure to place your characters spot before the panning command, for example:

@CHARACTER stands screen center AND CHARACTER is talk_neutral
@pan to zone 2

or

&CHARACTER stands screen center AND CHARACTER is talk_neutral
@pan to zone 2
