How do I make one character run into another and fall?

[alysin]

Hi there!

I’m currently working on a scene where a girl is standing in a room, and a guy comes out of nowhere and runs into her and they both fall.
Here’s what I have so far, but it’s not working like I want it too! It’s very choppy…

---

@ GAGE enters from left to spot 0.996 71 167 in 0.75 and GAGE moves to layer 1 and GAGE is run_super_speed_loop then GAGE is run_fall

@ MARGOT is run_fall

&GAGE spot 0.996 68 172 in zone 2 and GAGE is idle_lay_facedown_loop_rear and GAGE faces left
@ MARGOT spot 0.904 311 164 in zone 1 and MARGOT is react_lay_shocked and MARGOT faces left

---

If you have any idea how I can make it run smoother (to where they both fall at the exact same time) please let me know! Thank you!

If you want multiple actions to happen at the same time, you will need to use & instead of @. Try changing your first line to &, and your last two to @.

if you use episode background can you show me which one? I can modify it then for you

I tried that and it still had a weird delay…

INT. DORM ROOM PASTEL PINK - NIGHT is the background, and it’s in zone 2!

Where is Margot supposed to stand before Gage bumps into her? The spot directing, I mean

try this:

INT. DORM ROOM PASTEL PINK - NIGHT
&cut to zone 2
&zoom reset
&GAGE spot 0.996 210 167 in zone 1 AND GAGE is idle AND GAGE moves to layer 1
@MARGOT spot 0.904 146 182 in zone 2 AND MARGOT faces right AND MARGOT is think_rubchin AND MARGOT moves to layer 0
@GAGE walks to spot 0.996 71 167 in 0.75 and GAGE does it while run_super_speed_loop
&MARGOT is fall
@GAGE is fall
@transition fade out black in 1
&zoom on 640 0 to 243% in 0
&GAGE spot 0.996 68 172 in zone 2 and GAGE is idle_lay_facedown_loop_rear and GAGE faces left
&MARGOT spot 0.904 311 164 in zone 1 and MARGOT is react_lay_shocked and MARGOT faces left
@transition fade in black in 1
