i’ve seen people do a part in their script where the character will jump down from a bed or something, i can’t seem to get it right. should i switch the character out or something?

2

stand_up/ standup_neutral animation?

I’ve seen this as well,

Have you tried:

@CHARACTER walks to spot Z X Y in 1 and CHARACTER does it while jump_happy_loop then CHARACTER is stand_up

But make sure that they are moving down off the bed.
I also don’t know if you’re writing in Limelight or Ink, but I hope this helps :slight_smile:

@CHARACTER spot INSERT AND CHARACTER is lay_asleep_loop
@CHARACTER is lay_awake_loop (idk if I got this one right but… you get the point)
@pause for a beat
@CHARACTER stands upscreen right AND CHARACTER faces left AND CHARACTER is stand_up

This is just what I do when a character gets out of bed. But if you want them to jump out, I’d do

@CHARACTER spot INSERT AND CHARACTER is lay_asleep_loop
@CHARACTER is lay_awake_loop
@pause for a beat
@CHARACTER walks to spot INSERT2 AND CHARACTER is jump_loop

I haven’t tested it, but this might work if you’re still having problems.
