Sorry for posting it is probably an common thing that has been asked but i have been searching for hours right now and cant find an answer that i can work with. not even well explained on youtube videos so far what i have seen.
i got my charakter to move for the one zone to the other and is walking and talking but the tekst what she is saying comes after she arrived in that zone. and i want that to show while she is walking is that possible even tho?
im using limelight.
another thing i was wondering
i have an forrest dark BG… and i add the EFFECT SMOKE…
now i thought yea sure thats cool! but it would be even better if the smoke had motion. so is that possible to do? and how do i do that?
so if i go like this then i want to add some sound animation on top of that as well.
so how do i add that in the forrest BG?
sorry lot of question i know. if some one wants to help me thanks you very very much!
i want to make this very cool and i wanna know everything how it works.
this is my first day starting this so i dont know yet al the script codes yet…
havent fond that yet also… if thats on the forum let me know!
Not sure what your coding looks like, but I did this to make it work for me:
&pan to zone 3 in 4
&CHARACTER walks to screen center in zone 3 in 4 AND CHARACTER does it while walk_talk_animation
CHARACTER
Blah blah blah
Answer to keeping the smoke in motion
Dara has a great guide on overlays, here’s a part on how you can keep your overlay constantly moving, though you will probably want to check out the whole guide to help you.
“time can only be specified once for each action” no idea what that means…
also dont know what means by add the loop at the end of the line what line ? in the script? where in the script? yes i get the THEN part haha… no ideaa where to put the hole line tho!
then the walk talk thing…
the tekst shows ups this time only she is not walking but kinda floating like a ghost through the zones hahaha…

EXT. FOREST LOOPING - NIGHT
@NYNJA enters from left to screen center

@pause for a beat

I am just messing with you!
Your an sweetheart!
also i want the NYNJA enter walks in and talk and tekst shows up…
but if i do
@NYNJA enters from left to screen center in zone 2 in 3 i get an error… and i tryed multiple other way but dont seem to get the right coding i guess haha
hi, yea also true but i also write things exactly like you say it or in short it like you do in whatsapp for example… im from the netherlands so yea english is not my first language haha… but i manage something i have trouble with some words that i do know how they sound like but really know idea how to write haha… or really dont come up with the word but always find a way around to tell it differently haha…
with the script i just have to learn the coding… and i will for sure i have patience…
This was how I used the smoke in one of my own scripts:
EXT. FOREST LOOPING - NIGHT with EFFECT SMOKE
&overlay EFFECT SMOKE shifts to -1191 15 in 6.5 THEN overlay EFFECT SMOKE shifts to -501 27 in 6.5 loop INFINITE times
I’m sorry, but I’m not sure what you mean with the entering to a spot error you’re getting
the overlay what you had… with the looping to zone 3 part of the overlay wasnt there… so i spend i donno how long to fix it… and it was pretty simple tho:roll_eyes:
