I Screwed Something Up Somehow? EDIT : SOLVED

Creator's Corner Directing Help & Tips

EDIT: Also, I’m SUPER sorry if you keep seeing me on this thread, I’m finally sitting down and creating my “first” real story that I’m putting a LOT of effort into, and doing everything I want with it, which means of course, I am coming up with loads and loads of problems. Thank you!

I wrote the following code;

@AZURA enters from right to spot 0.773 212 241 AND AZURA is run_cry_embarrassed_loop
@pause for a beat
@AZURA starts cry_sniff_sad_loop
@pause for a beat
&zoom on 147 320 to 139% in 3
@pause for a beat
@AZURA starts punch_fight_give_angry_loop
@pause for 2

Only this;

@AZURA enters from right to spot 0.773 212 241 AND AZURA is run_cry_embarrassed_loop
@pause for a beat

This;

&zoom on 147 320 to 139% in 3

And (some of?) the pauses work. Her crying and then punching animations do NOT happen. Why?

You can not use the word, “starts” you have to use the following code:
“@CHARACTER is cry_sniff_sad_loop”

Oh, thank you so much!

You can use “starts” or “is”
Here is more info on the two words:

Can you explain more about what isn’t working for you in your script?

6

Ah! @phlegmatic’s suggestion didn’t work! Also, thank you for the clarification between the two commands @Dara.Amarie!

7

Oh, sorry I guess?

Hmmm. Let me see if I can just link a quick YouTube video of the scene in question, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to explain it great.

It’s fine!

@Dara.Amarie Okay, so below is the script that you are seeing in the scene. The video after that is what is actually happening.

Script:

INT. FUTURISTIC SIMPLE BEDROOM - DAY
&cut to zone 3
&AZURA spot 1.280 161 11 AND AZURA is idle_jawdrop_awe_loop
&IUOT spot 0.011 1 248
@pause for 2

    AZURA (talk_angry)
Iuot, turn that off |bold, italic| right now.

    IUOT
I can not do that. This is a government announcement, I can not turn these off.

@zoom on 803 419 to 289% in 1
&AZURA is scream_angry
@pause for 2
&cut to zone 1
&zoom reset
music music_emoguitar
volume music 75 2000
@AZURA enters from right to spot 0.773 212 241 AND AZURA is run_cry_embarrassed_loop
@pause for a beat
@AZURA is cry_sniff_sad_loop
@pause for a beat
&zoom on 147 320 to 139% in 3
@pause for a beat
@AZURA is punch_fight_give_angry_loop
@pause for 2

I’d remove the pause after the spot walking

Try this instead:

@AZURA enters from right to spot 0.773 212 241 AND AZURA does it while run_cry_embarrassed_loop

13

Agh. No, it does the same thing. I have no clue how I screwed this up so bad. :grimacing::grimacing: Should I try and post on Purple_Ghost’s help thread?

Have you tried refreshing the page (if you’re using the web previewer) or retarting the app (if you’re using the app)? I just tested your script and it’s working fine.

THANK YOU. I hate when the Episode app makes glitches like this…!
