Backgrounds

I’m honestly not sure what you mean by this, if you’re asking how to make your own backgrounds - I don’t have experience in that. However, if you’re asking how to upload your own backgrounds:

Props

For your own props, it’s just like the background uploading method. Personally, I don’t use props in my stories so I wouldn’t know. If you really want to know then watch some of Joseph Evan’s or Episode EllyYT’s youtube videos.

Music

For music, if you want to add one of episode’s preset sounds, go to this section and then select a sound:
36
The command for adding music or sound is:
sound (the sound u use)
music (the sound u use)
The command to turn them off is:
music off
sound off

Cover

For the cover you click on the image that is preset for your story:

and then this will come up:

Art scenes

To ask you just go on instagram and ask an episode background creator for an art scene specially made ONLY IF THEY TAKE REQUESTS. To upload you just upload it as a background.

Clothes

For an outfit, you just click on the piece of clothing you want and then to remove you click on it again.

Hope I helped you out! Also, I’d be happy to do a joint story, just dm me on instagram @livgrace.episode

You need to set you scene with a rain weather effect. These are on the right hand side of your portal. You can only add it to the background -
INT. BACKGROUND NAME with (chosen weather effect here)
@CHAR stands screen center AND CHAR faces right AND CHAR is rear
rest of the scene here
to turn the shower off you need to re-set the scene as follows
INT. BACKGROUND NAME
@CHAR stands screen center AND CHAR faces right AND CHAR is rear

Hope this helps!

Hey!

Can someone tell me how to fade into a scene withouth getting a weird glitch of the characters?

28

Instead of @ use & for placing your characters and put the transition after -
INT. BACKGROUND
&CHAR stands screen center AND CHAR faces left AND CHAR is shiftweight
@transition fade in 1

You can still use the @ but you must put starts before the animation-
INT. BACKGROUND
@CHAR stands screen center AND CHAR faces left AND CHAR starts shiftweight
@transition fade in 1

How do I fix this? I know my coding is right. I preview everything before I add music.
When I add music I fix the problem by asking a person. It cut down my error, but this error I check my script from my google drive because I been copying pasting. I compare the two, and I don’t see any mistake. Any suggest
