Unfortunately, you can’t directly spot a character with the enter command. You have to do smth like this

@CHARACTER walks to spot - then CHARACTER walks to spot - AND CHARACTER does it while AND CHARACTER faces left/right then CHARACTER is animation AND CHARACTER faces left/right

Avoid using the is command when doing stuff like these, it can mess up your code.

I know that, I’m trying to say bc you used this command.

Which is the problem why the male is bigger than the other. When using that command, it won’t scale correctly and it’ll mess up the code.

That’s why I gave you an example of this. For you to use.

Hopefully you understand what I’m saying now. :sweat_smile:

Using “enters from” or even the “stands screen ___” commands use the default scale size of 1.280. If you want your characters to enter the scene with a different scale size, you have to spot direct them offscreen somewhere then make them walk to a spot onscreen.

Read this guide here and scroll down to “walking with spot direction”

You didn’t sound dumb at all. I understand, it’s hard when you get introduced to new things. It’s totally fine. 🤷

But the reply above you I think you should follow.

Put this into your code.

@KATRINA spot - AND KATRINA moves to layer 2 then KATRINA walks to spot 0.816 183 10 in zone 3 in 2 AND KATRINA does it while run_super_speed_loop

And erase this, put that code that I gave you into the same line you have that code that I just quoted. @Jess2012

And the - part is where you have to enter a offscreen spot for the character so the readers can’t see them.
