Hey guys so i’ve been trying to loop a background using dara’s 3 zoned guide but I can’t figure it out…
Here is the background
I needed to upload 2 of them so that it ends the same way it starts and the loop doesn’t look weird, but I’m so confused on how to get it working…
This is what happens:
Are both of them of the right dimension?
I had to upload them as overlays, so i’m not sure
I checked, and yea they are
Because to use the template they need to be of these dimensions
Maybe at the beggining adjust the size so it’s already like you want it to be?
I’ve tried this, I really have but it doesn’t work 
Oh wait a sec
I might consider taking all the coding off and redoing it
I have the exact same problem. I would say try uploading the background again and making sure it’s the correct size. Dara has uploaded some backgrounds that are of the exact correct size, maybe that will help. But yeah currently I’m having the same problem.
Oh I tried using the palm tree one, it’s looping perfectly but my character just doesn’t seem to get the command run cry embarrassed loop right
If you paste here your code we can see why it is not working
I am so sorry for the late reply, I am extremely unwell and I wasn’t able to pick up my laptop in the past 2 days but here is the code:

Try it like this?
Doesn’t work she stands in the screen doing nothing

I saw what I did wring, I’m sorry 
You absolute lifesaver, it works! The only problem is that the speech after she runs comes in place way before she enters the scene and I want her to start talking about her feelings while she’s running. Do you think it because of the &?

Change it like this then!
Amazing! Thank you so so much girl:pleading_face:
