Hi, I’m afraid the “apply_lipstick” animation doesn’t show up if it’s used with an &.
At least that’s what keeps happening to me :frowning: :frowning:
It can be seen only if I use it with @, but then the mouthcolor changing doesn’t happen at the same time as the lipstick applying…
Is it possible that I do something wrong and that’s why it isn’t working for me?
Thanks

Use @CHARACTER starts apply_lipstick

Thanks for your quick reply :slight_smile:
This is my code according to what you’ve said:
@add Lipstick to CHARACTER
@CHARACTER starts apply_lipstick
@CHARACTER changes mouthColor into Cherry Red
@remove Lipstick from CHARACTER

But it still doesn’t show the lipstick applying animation, only if use the “@CHARACTER is apply_lipstick” command :frowning:
But sadly with that the two things don’t happen at the same time, I know it’s not a big deal, but I’d like it that way better. :slight_smile:

This should work with either @ or &. Do you have any errors?

#12

No, nor errors, neither warnings. Just when I play that scene, the animation is nowhere :smiley: and the lip color is changed, so it’s like it simply ignores that @CHARACTER starts apply_lipstick command if it has starts or & in it.

To be honest I don’t know why this won’t work. Try to test it on the app again. Maybe it’s a glitch? You can delete everything and save it and paste again to see if this will help.

There are no beats because you’re using “starts” or the & sign so it pretty much skips over the animation. You need to put a pause in there so that there is a beat so your character can have time to actually do the animation.

@add Lipstick to CHARACTER
@CHARACTER starts apply_lipstick
@CHARACTER changes mouthColor into Cherry Red
@pause for a beat
@remove Lipstick from CHARACTER
