Layer issues with MC

[Penance]

So my MC is in layer 1 when they enter but once they stop they get pushed forward and are in front of the booth rather than behind it.

Have you tried spot directing your MC offscreen then have them walk to where they’re onscreen? Try this:

@MC spot 1.280 400 0 in zone 1 at layer 1
@MC walks to spot 1.280 160 0

[Penance]

No I hadn’t tried spot directing it.
Thank you very much that worked.
