So, as of now…Your script has no errors?
You want help on how two characters can change clothing as soon at the scene starts?

Try this
INT. BLUE SCHOOL HALLWAY LOCKERS - DAY
@SOPHIE stands screen left
@SOPHIE faces right
@ALICE stands screen right
@ALICE faces left
@pause for .5
@SOPHIE changes into SOPHIE_school
@ALICE changes into ALICE_school

Let me know if this works!

I am sorry this doesn’t work

If you’re on the previewer, they will already be wearing the outfit if you have recently previewed it.
Refresh the previewer screen.
