@overlay DRAGON FIRE opacity 1 in 0

Put the word opacity after the name of the overlay : )

Also, this is how you would add an overlay into the middle of your scene:

You’d replace OVERLAYNAME with the actual name of your overlay and change the numbers to match the position of where your overlay is at : )

thanks ill see if it works

i was wondering how to make a charecter run fast and slow

is their a code were you can make a charecter run like really fast like flash fast :joy: if so how do i write it

@CHAR walks to spot (x,y,z) in .1

Anything between .1-.5 is really fast

thanks


I think i did something wrong beacuse my MC slides when i did it and i want her to run im not sure what i did wrong?

Try:

@RAIN walks to spot 1.280 50 0 in zone 3 in 0.5 AND RAIN does it while run_athletic

Also you are writing -.5 which is a negative value and we all know that seconds don’t go backwards when one is walking :sweat_smile:

What @ Jadlyss meant when she wrote .1-.5 was that any number from .1 to .5 is very fast when it comes to spot walking.

Good luck : )

oh thanks for the help ill see if it works thank you once again :slight_smile:

You’d need to write:
@add Handgun to CHAR1
@add Handgun to CHAR2

Unfortunately, the AND command doesn’t work and neither does having a & in front of add; it’ll give you errors if you type those in :rofl:

Don’t worry though, I placed two characters side by side and wrote this code into my script, so when I tested it out, the guns appeared for both of them at the same time : )

It should be fine, so long as you don’t put @pause for a beat in between.

Hey! I have a pretty detailed directing scene that I don’t quite know how to portray. If anyone could help me figure it out then that would be great!

So, I need a zoom-in scene where my MC’s notebook falls out of her backpack. I’ve seen things like this happen in some really well-done directed stories, & the rest of my story won’t really make sense if this scene doesn’t happen. I know this part will most-likely need personal art to be made (which I can figure out), but I’m still new at directing and wouldn’t know how to pull off the scene even if I already had the art, haha! Again, I really appreciate any help or advice given. Thank you! :slightly_smiling_face:
