Oh you mean running to the center of the screen. Instead of screen left or right, you need to write ‘Screen center’

Hope I understood :upside_down_face:

The code should be
@CHARACTER enters from SIDE to screen center AND CHARACTER starts ANIMATION
Whatever’s in bold has to be replaced with your side/name/animation

And make sure you entered the background name correctly and that you didn’t put it in the overlay uploading page and stuff

you could try spot directing.

@CHARACTER spot x y z in zone 1 (move your character off screen)
and then this follows
@CHARACTER walks to spot x y z in zone 2 in 3 (any seconds you want) and CHARACTER is animation
( :arrow_up: Spot where you want your character to walk or run)

You need to use spoting for specific dirrection

@CHARACTER enters from left to SPOT (Don’t write the ‘in zone #’, everything else s required

And then @CHARACTER walks to SPOT (with everything)

INT. BASEMENT
@BRIELE spot 0.443 -21 347 in zone 1
@BRIELE moves to layer 3
@BRIELE spot 0.443 117 350 in zone 1
@BRIELE moves to layer 3
&BRIELE is run_athletic_neutral_loop
@BRIELE spot 0.852 153 133 in zone 1
@BRIELE moves to layer 3
&BRIELE does it while run_athletic_neutral_loop

It is not happening correctly.
she is just running constantly at the last spot position. :no_mouth: :no_mouth: :no_mouth: :no_mouth:

Try @/Brielle walks to NEW SPOT in TIME (If time is required)

You forgot “walks to”, and without any beats, the script will skip to the last line. You can merge the lines like this. You can replace the T with any seconds you want.
Also, “&” should be placed before the “@” if you want two lines of code to happen simultaneously. Otherwise, the spot will happen first before the character does the animation.

ill try to do that
