So I started writing within the past week and everything was going well until this one script error popped up. It’s probably really simple to fix but like I said, I am very new.
I’m trying to get to characters to run from left to screen left and the other one to up screen left (both in zone 2)
Any help is appreciated! And I can copy and paste the script error later if needed. :))
OK, so you want 2 characters to run to zone 2 at the same time, right? One goes to screen left and the other goes to upscreen left, correct?
I will help you 
&pan to zone 2 in 3
&CHAR1 walks to spot 1.280 50 0 in zone 2 in 3 AND CHAR1 does it while run_animation
@CHAR2 walks to spot 1.280 100 0 in zone 2 in 3 AND CHAR2 does it while run_animation

Note:
Thanks so much! It worked : )
Sorry, I was just wondering if there was a way to make them run in at the same time? If not it’s fine too.
The part that I bolded “3” is the time, in seconds. I usually keep both the same number but you can adjust the time and play around with it. Time can be any number (it can be 0-although if you’re having a character run, 0 seconds doesn’t make sense, it can be a decimal (0.5-really fast running, 1.7, 2.5, etc.) It can be a whole number (2, 3, 5, etc). Not a negative number as time can’t go backwards.
When you’re having two characters walk into a scene, use & for the first one and @ for the second one. Or you can use AND/and (ex= @CHAR1 walks to spot… AND CHAR2 walks to spot…)
… = You would fill in the rest of course.

And don’t apologize! I love helping 
OK so you want them to enter into zone 1 at the same time? Place them offscreen using spot direction.
Ex.
@CHAR1 spot 1.280 X 0 in zone # at layer #
@CHAR2 spot 1.280 X 0 in zone # at layer #
Place them offscreen and whatever middle value you get in spot directing, sub it in.
Ex.
@CHAR1 spot 1.280 -100 0 in zone 1
@CHAR2 spot 1.280 -90 0 in zone 1
&pan to zone 2 in 3
&CHAR1 walks to spot 1.280 50 0 in zone 2 in 3 AND CHAR1 does it while run_animation
@CHAR2 walks to spot 1.280 100 0 in zone 2 in 3 AND CHAR2 does it while run_animation
You can control the time by the way. In this case, it’s 3 (I bolded it) but you can play around with it.

Sorry to burden you with so much info but if you read over it all, it should help 
This is all so helpful! Thanks so much
