Try,

And, maybe remove this since it seems unnecessary.

#Instead of this, remove it, and then you can write:

@SARAH spot 2.400 -100 -520 AND SARAH faces right
@SARAH walks to spot 2.400 170 -520 AND SARAH does it while walk_neutral_loop THEN SARAH starts idle

#Much smoother :heart:

Thank you so much!

I did a mixture of the two, since for some reason my script didn’t like the direction. Thank you so much!

Wait, so if the preview on mobile doesn’t follow the preview on pc, is it a glitch or is there something wrong with my code? Just clarifying.

The web previewer and app have been known to show different things which is quite frustrating. Discussions on it: Difference between live previewer and app & Dont You Hate It When It Happens

Words of advice:

&

Trust what it shows on the app (what the readers see) rather than the web previewer. Adjust your script accordingly. Hope this helps :heart:

You can’t use the follow command with spot direction/directing.

So,

&pan to zone 1 in 1.5
@SIAN walks to spot 0.920 138 127 in zone 1 in 1.5 AND SIAN does it while run_athletic_neutral_loop

More info here: HOW TO: Stage Direction

Okay thank you :slight_smile:



I really need help, I got my characters in spots then them moving to different spots but when i preview it they are moving in different directions and different sides of the screen

#Try:

INT. ORANGE HALLWAY - DAY
#beat starts
&cut to zone 1
&SIAN spot 0.876 367 153 in zone 1 AND SIAN faces left
&JAX spot 0.766 10 250 in zone 1 AND JAX faces right

@SIAN changes into SIAN_2

@transition fade in black 1

@pause for 0.7

&JAX walks to spot 0.928 79 159 in zone 1 in 1.5 AND JAX does it while walk_talk_phone_neutral_loop

@SIAN walks to spot 0.876 142 159 in zone 1 in 1.5 AND SIAN does it while run_athletic_neutral_loop

#also you don’t need lines 88-93

#when you write a new background, a new scene starts. Meaning you need to place them into the scene using spot direction. And then have them walk towards the destination you desire. I can’t test anything out but this is my recommendation to you. Do let me know how it goes.

Thank you it worked :smiley:

  1. Missing a } in front of else. Don’t put " " around the gain name

else needs to be by itself. No quotations around your gain names.

Glancing over your template, I see a few other issues. Can you PM me thanks? :blob_hearts:
