just to explain
you can write several lines wit & and thay all will happen together wtihe all lines with @ will happen one by one.
Also important the & happens with the @ under it
so
&CHAR1 is animation
&CHAR2 is animation
&CHAR3 is animation
@CHAR4 is animation
all 4 will do the animation together in the same time
if you write it like this:
&CHAR1 is animation
@CHAR2 is animation
&CHAR3 is animation
@CHAR4 is animation
then CHAT1 and CHAR2 will make the animation together and after that the CHAR3 and CHAR4 will do together with their animation
and if you write it like this:
@CHAR1 is animation
@CHAR2 is animation
@CHAR3 is animation
@CHAR4 is animation
fist makes animation 1 then 2 then 3 and then 4 one by one.
& is pretty usefull for example if oyu want other characters to make animations while the other is speaking
&CHAR1 is animation
CHAR2 (talking animation)
You look sad…bla bla bla
the same goes for if you want to use together pan and zoom
