how do i get a character to walk into the scene and stand next to Lucas?

this is the script so far

INT. BAR - DAY
&zoom reset
&cut to zone 2
&LUCAS spot 1.280 255 47 in zone 2 AND LUCAS faces left AND LUCAS starts think_rubchin AND LUCAS moves to layer 7
@ARIANNA spot 1.280 68 14 in zone 2 AND ARIANNA faces right AND ARIANNA starts idle_handsonhips_neutral_loop AND ARIANNA moves to layer 6
ARIANNA (talk_handsonhips_neutral)
Well look who it is
@ARIANNA is idle_handsonhips_neutral_loop
LUCAS (talk_think_neutral)
Aria. Do my mum and dad know you’re here
ARIANNA (talk_armscrossed_neutral_loop)
Question is do they know you’re back in town
@ARIANNA is idle_armscrossed_neutral_loop
LUCAS (talk_shrug_neutral)
They do.

So first you have to put Arianna off-screen.

@ARIANNA spot 1.280 220 31 in zone 1

And then you have to make her walk to the spot.

@ARIANNA walks to spot 1.280 68 14 in zone 2 AND ARIANNA faces right

And if you continue the line above with AND ARIANNA starts idle_handsonhips_neutral_loop AND ARIANNA moves to layer 6 she will be floating in with her hands on her hips, so this is how you want the script to look like:

INT. BAR - DAY
&zoom reset
&cut to zone 2
&LUCAS spot 1.280 255 47 in zone 2 AND LUCAS faces left AND LUCAS starts think_rubchin AND LUCAS moves to layer 7
@ARIANNA spot 1.280 220 31 in zone 1
@ARIANNA walks to spot 1.280 68 14 in zone 2 AND ARIANNA faces right
@ARIANNA starts idle_handsonhips_neutral_loop AND ARIANNA moves to layer 6
ARIANNA (talk_handsonhips_neutral)
Well look who it is
@ARIANNA is idle_handsonhips_neutral_loop
LUCAS (talk_think_neutral)
Aria. Do my mum and dad know you’re here
ARIANNA (talk_armscrossed_neutral_loop)
Question is do they know you’re back in town
@ARIANNA is idle_armscrossed_neutral_loop
LUCAS (talk_shrug_neutral)
They do.

I hope that helped!

i didnt explain it very well
what i meant is i need another character to walk into the scene and stand next to Lucas
so its Arianna Lucas & a third character

Oh, okay, sorry about that!
Do you want the character to stand between Arianna and Lucas or beside Lucas?

This is between Arianna and Lucas:

@CHARACTER spot 1.280 74 45 in zone 3
@CHARACTER walks to spot 1.280 175 47 in zone 2

This is beside Lucas:

@CHARACTER spot 1.280 74 45 in zone 3
@CHARACTER walks to spot 1.280 319 44 in zone 2 AND CHARACTER moves to layer 7

Is that how you want it?

beside him because shes his mate and hes introducing them

Okay, this is beside Lucas:

@CHARACTER spot 1.280 74 45 in zone 3
@CHARACTER walks to spot 1.280 319 44 in zone 2 AND CHARACTER moves to layer 7

also how do i get my characters wolves to talk to them in their heads rather than having a narr or another character for them

You want their wolves to narrate?
So then you have to make a character with the wolf’s name, if you haven’t already, and then you write this:

NARRATOR (WOLF NAME HERE)



So basically, you just put

NARRATOR

And then the name of the wolf beside NARRATOR in parenthesis, and then the text below as usual.

They could also do a thought bubble!

The code for that would be:

CHARACTER NAME
(Inbetween the brackets, you put your narration)

Which might make a bit more sense considering that werewolves in many stories say that they ‘mind-link’, so having a thought buble, can portray that very well

Arianna
(Strarlight - shes a witch)

Yes! Just make sure the character name is in capital letters so like:

ARIANNA
(Strarlight - shes a witch)

And honestly, I’m not that great with the editing of texts like colours, I tend to forget how to properly do them but I’m sure @trashbaybe can help with that!

Yes, a thought bubble would be better! :smiley:

If you want to make it bold:

ARIANNA
(|bold|Strarlight|reset| - shes a witch)

If you want to make it coloured:

ARIANNA
(|color:blue|Strarlight|reset| - shes a witch)

I put “color:blue” just as an example, but you can change the “blue” to another colour.
