You’re using the follow command with spot direction. Instead:
&pan to zone 3
&BRIAN walks to spot 1.019 257 258 in zone 3 AND BRIAN does it while run_athletic_neutral_loop THEN BRIAN faces left
&CHARLIE walks to spot 1.037 266 156 in zone 3 AND CHARLIE does it while run_athletic_neutral_loop THEN CHARLIE faces left
@STEPHAN walks to spot 0.911 284 134 in zone 3 AND STEPHAN does it while run_athletic_neutral_loop THEN STEPHAN faces left
Can read more on spot direction here:

&follow STEPHAN to spot 0.911 284 134 in zone 3 AND STEPHAN is run_athletic_neutral_loop THEN STEPHAN faces left
Well, if you use spot directing you can’t use the follow command
And I’d suggest you use the does it while command

&pan to zone 3 in 2
&BRIAN walks to spot 1.019 257 258 in zone 3 in 2 AND BRIAN does it while run_athletic_neutral_loop THEN BRIAN faces left
&CHARLIE walks to spot 1.037 266 156 in zone 3 in 2 AND CHARLIE does it while run_athletic_neutral_loop THEN CHARLIE faces left
@STEPHAN walks to to spot 0.911 284 134 in zone 3 in 2 AND STEPHAN does it while run_athletic_neutral_loop THEN STEPHAN faces left
Notes
- I added “in 2” as in it’ll take 2 secs for everything to happen but really you can use any number (keeping it consistent)
- Seconds can be any number, even decimals, even 0, they just can’t go backwards as time doesn’t go backwards. Though if a person is running or walking, having 0 seconds doesn’t make sense.
