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
No problem
Thank you!
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
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
Made a post on my Instagram that I’d like to share on my help thread:

(so this is a dressing game ive tried to code, but it dose’nt work, whenever i click on the choices, my character dont change into the outfits, please help)
You only need it once and then continue with the story. Also it is screen center not screen centre
Do you mean “the easiest work ever” in regards to outfits, not the “hardest work ever”
By the way, here are some dressing game examples to check out:
