Some help? (Idk what I did wrong)

Got a warning saying “is not a valid directing command”
I usually fix it on my own but, I can’t find what’s wrong. I guess it’s too much

It might be because its too long. I think there’s a limit on how much you can put on one line.

I don’t know if you can create while shifting or create while scaling… but then again I’m not an expert on overlays or anything. It might be that…?

I’d say to break it up and use more & commands.

there’s no limit to the amount of commands you have on one line, there’s probably a spelling error or mistake you made in there. i would suggest going through the whole thing and making sure there aren’t any mistakes.

Really?
I remember someone had a coding issue where they had too much on a line. They had to break it into parts :thinking: Unless I just imagined it lol?

I wonder if it has something tondo with the pauses try

@overlay Mouth1 blah blah blah (up to the pause then on the next like write

@pause for (time)

Then on a new line continue the sequence up until the next pause

@pause for time

Then continue the sequence

Repeat until done?

they probably had too much text, not commands. there’s a limit to how much a character can say on one line but there isn’t one for how many directing commands you can have on one.

I broke it down and found out it has something to do with this part

MOUTH1 scales to 0.094 0.094 THEN pause for 0.07 AND overlay MOUTH4 clear THEN overlay MOUTH3 create AND overlay MOUTH3 AND overlay MOUTH1 moves to layer 2 AND overlay MOUTH1 opacity 1 in 0 THEN overlay MOUTH3 shifts to 48 290 in zone 1 AND overlay MOUTH3 scales to 0.081 0.081 AND overlay MOUTH3 moves to layer 2 AND overlay MOUTH3 opacity 1 in 0 THEN pause for 0.07 AND overlay MOUTH1 clear THEN overlay MOUTH4 create AND overlay MOUTH4 shifts to 47 295 in zone 1 AND overlay MOUTH4 scales to 0.081 0.081 AND overlay MOUTH4 moves to layer 2 AND overlay MOUTH4 opacity 1 in 0 THEN pause for 0.07 AND overlay MOUTH3 clear THEN overlay MOUTH5 create AND overlay MOUTH5 shifts to 47 295 in zone 1 AND overlay MOUTH5 scales to 0.081 0.081 AND overlay MOUTH5 moves to layer 2 AND overlay MOUTH5 opacity 1 in 0 THEN pause for 0.07 AND overlay MOUTH4 clear THEN overlay MOUTH4 create

This is where the error is at. You don’t have anything after this overlay. It’s just “and overlay MOUTH3”
