My Fight Scene is not working

[123lil456]

I am supposed to have a scene where they are punching each other then have dialogue. But it goes straight to the dialogue.
INT. BOXING RING
@AXEL changes into AXEL_fighting_noblood
@CHAR4 changes into RANDOM_PEOPLE_FIGHTING
@CHAR4 stands upscreen left
@CHAR4 faces right
@AXEL stands upscreen right
@AXEL faces left
@pause for a beat
@AXEL starts punch_fight_give_angry
@CHAR4 starts punch_fight_receive_angry
@CHAR4 starts idle_wounded_sad_loop
@AXEL starts think_rubchin
@pause for a beat
AXEL (react_gasp_dismayed)
(Why is Melissa here)

I was wondering if anyone could help me.

@123lil456

@AXEL starts think_rubchin

Try changing the “starts” to “is”

[123lil456]

Thank you for the suggestion but I tried and it still wont load the punches.

Oh, all of the punches—

You have “starts” for each of them, so you’re not really giving any time for them to do the animations. I suggest changing them to “is”

[123lil456]

I changed them to “is” it worked but now when Axel hits him he reacts late.
I am sorry for the dumbness lol

@123lil456

@AXEL is punch_fight_give_angry AND CHAR4 is punch_fight_receive_angry THEN CHAR4 is idle_wounded_sad_loop AND AXEL is think_rubchin

You could try that. I haven’t played around with the timings of those animations specifically, but I combined them, so hopefully that works better for you.
That’s all one line btw.

Omg thank you so much!!
