How do I get the character to lay on the bed?

[Apes]

don’t use any non laying animations if you want her to stay on bed

Here’s the thread about spot walking, you need to change the size of the mom:

Spot Walking (Walking w/Spot Direction)

Hiiiii I’m RudeInception and today we will be discussing Spot Walking (term I’ve made up). This method will allow you to walk your character all around a scene while the character stays in the size and position you chose while Spot Directing. (What’s that? Spot Directing Guide) Here we go: The general command is @CHAR walks to spot S X Y in zone # in T S = size of the CHAR (default size is 1.280) X = X axis (left to right) Y = Y axis (up and down) zone # = the zone number (1…

what is non laying animation?

[Apes]

animation where character does not lay for example idle

[Episode89]

I did that but she is still on the floor and still having problems with the other character.

You need to use the directing helper >> spot helper then on the left use the scale/move. Then move her to position on the bed. Copy the spot numbers into your script.
@BRITNEY spot x y z in zone # AND BRITNEY is animation AND BRITNEY faces left/right
Replace x y z with the spot numbers. Replace # with whichever zone you’re in. Replace animation with the lay animation you’re using. Replace left/right with whichever one she is facing. Use the same method with the other character to make her neaer to the bed. Use the spot directer to move her to where you want her then again, copy the numbers into the script. Hope that helps

OMG THAT HELPS SO MUCH THANKS also how would I get the mom in the same scene as her?

[Jade.epi]

Just put
@MUM stands screen center in zone #
Then you can use the directing helper to move her if you wish

[Jade.epi]

Well use her name … not MUM lol

[Episode89]

This is the problem I’m having.

[Apes]

Did you try to change her face direction? (if it’s that what you mean)

Try:

@BRITNEY faces left

[Episode89]

I can not get the mother in the same scene as her and for Britney I cant her body to turn straight up and down.

[Apes]

you need to place her in zone 2 or use @CHARACTER enters from left to screen center when you’re in zone 2 or use spot walking if you want her to be smaller

[Jade.epi]

Laying animations you can’t have them up/down only laying left-right unfortunately

How do pan into a different zone?

[Apes]

@Apes

@pan to zone 2

Check this thread for basics:

HOW TO: Stage Direction

First, I will talk about zones. According to the Episode guides each background is divided into a zone and each zone is the width of a standard smartphone screen. [Episode%20Zones] Background from the Episode guides. Backgrounds from Episode usually have three zones, but some will have only 1, 2, or 4. Every background is different. Next, I will talk about the positions that are possible when you want a character in your scene: Generic code for it: @CHARACTER stands POSITION The backgro…

Thank you for linking

[Episode89]

I am still confused lol.

[JemU776]

You read the basic guide so fast

@JemU776

Now, to talk about cuts and pans to another zone in a background:

First, the generic command for cutting to a different zone within a background:

@cut to zone #

An example:
@cut to zone 2

Second, the generic command for panning to a different zone:
@pan to zone # in T

An example:
@pan to zone 2 in 3
This means the camera will pan (slide) to zone 2 from the current zone it’s in, and this pan will last 3 seconds.
It doesn’t have to be three seconds. It can be any number of seconds you want it to be.
