Sleeping in bed, waking and getting up

[Wynmoon]

I’m trying to get my character to lay in a bed.

I want her to be sleeping in bed, open her eyes, get up and start talking on the phone. I want to do all of this in the bed of zone 2 in the INT. DUMPY APARTMENT BEDROOM - DAY background. Help?

Try
@CHARACTER spot X Y S in zone 2 and CHARACTER starts lay_asleep_loop
For standing up:
@CHARACTER stands screen center and CHARACTER is stand_up
@CHARACTER is talk_phone_happy_loop

[Wynmoon]

It didn’t work unfortunately.

You need to use layers

HOW TO: Move Characters / Overlays to the Layers

Moving to the layers means something or someone can be in front or behind character or overlay. You can use as many numbers as you want: -100 to 100 (probably even more) CHARACTERS: Commands: @CHARACTER moves to layer # @CHARACTER spot % X Y in zone # at layer # [image] This picture is an example to show how numbers working. Entering characters (@CHARACTER enters from left to screen right) are always in front of everything (unless you move other characters or overlays to the layers) If …

I did. But once I want my character to do an animations she disappears

[Apes]

This animation not really fits to this type of background

Oh so it’s not birds view?

[babyy_ginaa]

It’s like those scenes when the character are about to get it on.

Yeah… it won’t work I mean you could move the character closer (so we can see her face) but it would look weird in my opinion. Can you not use some yawn exhausted or yawn animation instead?
