Need help with spotting characters

Briana_M · January 30, 2019, 1:04am

What is the code for making two characters enter into a scene while they are spotted?

You mean like this? If you want them to enter at the same time:
&CHARACTER1 walks to spot % x y in T
@CHARACTER2 walks to spot % x y in T

Yes! But, do I still have to spot the characters before they enter the scene?

Sorry, I should’ve explained it better. Do you mean this?:
&CHARACTER2 enters from (right/left) to spot % x y in T
@CHARACTER1 enters from (right/left) to spot % x y in T

No. I meant having 2 characters enter into a scene at the same based on how they are spotted. I am using the spot directing.

Yes, you do. Spot them off screen before they walk on screen.

I know, but how would I do that if I wanted two characters to enter into a scene?

@CHARACTER spot 0.900 50 90

Place them offscreen. So only the 50 (X-value) changes ^^

Move them around so they don’t show on the screen, then place them in the position they walk to using this:

&CHARACTER1 walks to spot % X Y in S

@CHARACTER2 walks to spot % X Y in S

*change X only

% is height of character (scale) , S is the time, in seconds, X is the direction they walk (left to right, right to left), Y is where they go up or down (a vertical line)

I hope I explained it perfectly

Okay, I think I did it wrong. Here’s what I have:

@ARABELLA spot 0.361 -100 364 in zone 1 at layer 1 AND ARABELLA faces right
&ARABELLA walks to spot 0.361 157 364 in 3 AND ARABELLA does it while walk_talk_phone
@ARABELLA spot 0.361 157 364 in zone 1 at layer 1 AND ARABELLA faces right
@JOSHUA spot 0.360 -100 369 in zone 1 at layer 1 AND JOSHUA faces right
@JOSHUA walks to spot 0.360 126 369 in 3
@JOSHUA spot 0.360 126 369 in zone 1 at layer 1 AND JOSHUA faces right

Try this:

@ARABELLA spot 0.361 -100 364 in zone 1 at layer 1 AND ARABELLA faces right
@JOSHUA spot 0.360 -100 369 in zone 1 at layer 1 AND JOSHUA faces right
&ARABELLA walks to spot 0.361 157 364 in 3 AND ARABELLA does it while walk_talk_phone
@JOSHUA walks to spot 0.360 126 369 in 3
