Make Character Appear before Scene Start (NO MORE HELP NEEDED)

[episode.owen]

So I want to make my Character appear before the scene starts
but Episode has a script problem so I need a help.

Here’s how the scene is scripted:

EXT. GRAVEYARD - DAY

&MAIN 1 spot 0.840 173 165 in zone 1
&MAIN 1 changes into MAIN 1_graveyard
&MAIN 1 moves to layer 1
&MAIN 1 faces left
&MAIN 1 is cry_sob_sad_loop

&overlay CAR BUG REAR create
&overlay CAR BUG REAR create text | bold |Rest. In. Piece.
&overlay CAR BUG REAR shifts to 51 157 in zone 1
&overlay CAR BUG REAR scales to 0.951 0.951
&overlay CAR BUG REAR moves to layer 3
&overlay CAR BUG REAR opacity 1

&zoom on 0 0 to 200% in 0

music music_sadgoodbye

@transition fade in 2
@zoom on 0 0 to 135% in 5

Episode finds at

&MAIN 1 changes into MAIN 1_graveyard

A Mistake saying: &MAIN 1 changes into MAIN 1_graveyard is not a valid directing command.

What exactly did I do wrong?

@episode.owen

@MAIN 1 changes into MAIN 1_graveyard

@ not & for outfit changes.

[episode.owen]

so after every & command I have to place as first

@MAIN 1 changes into MAIN 1_graveyard

?

[JemU776]

For outfit changes, changing into features, props you’d have to use @

@ and & are different HOWEVER in some cases, they can be the same.

ex.

&cut to zone 2 = @cut to zone 2

Since it lasts pretty much 0 seconds.

So just for the outfit change, you’d use @

Hope I didn’t confuse you haha

Oh okay haha, it’s a bit confusing but I totally get it now
Thanks for the help!
