Probably a very stupid question😂 but what’s the difference between:
@CHARACTER is idle
and
@CHARACTER starts idle
(for example)
And when do you use “does it while”?
Read this guide, it tells you the differences

This is messing me up… The camera shake and the moving of the characters works perfectly, but the minute they reach their spot, they stop doing the ‘emotions’ i want them to do for just a second, and then start doing it again, and that looks really weird… I tried putting in the emotions of different places, as you can see in the script, but that didn’t make a difference. How do i make them hold their emotions through the movement and camera shake?
You’re using the & sign for all those commands which means they are all happening at the same time. Use the then command if you want them to immediately do those animations right after walking
&AKILA walks to ------ and AKILA does it while — and AKILA faces right then AKILA starts react_startled_surprised
&LION walks to ------ and LION does it while — and LION faces right then LION starts holdwaist_give_idle_rear
Oh my god, it worked! I’ve never used the ‘then character starts ----’ before. Thank you so much!

Okay sooooo, my script is doing this weird thing. After it gets too the line where the looping happens, it doesn’t move on any further. Anything after that line doesn’t happen. I am using the web previewer, though. Not sure if there’s a glitch or if I typed something wrong. Here’s my script, hopefully someone can help me. 
You must always use the & sign when looping an overlay. If you use the @ sign, your scene will not continue and will stay in that loop the entire time.
Okay, i’ll try that.
&overlay SCENE OVERLAY 1J shifts to 99 407 in zone 1 in 1 AND overlay SCENE OVERLAY 1K shifts to 99 407 in zone 1 in 1 AND overlay SCENE OVERLAY 1L shifts to 99 407 in zone 1 in 1 AND overlay SCENE OVERLAY 1M shifts to 99 407 in zone 1 in 1 AND overlay SCENE OVERLAY 1N shifts to 99 407 in zone 1 in 1 AND pause for 1 THEN overlay SCENE OVERLAY 1J shifts to 99 396 in zone 1 THEN overlay SCENE OVERLAY 1K shifts to 99 396 in zone 1 THEN overlay SCENE OVERLAY 1L shifts to 99 396 in zone 1 THEN overlay SCENE OVERLAY 1M shifts to 99 396 in zone 1 THEN overlay SCENE OVERLAY 1N shifts to 99 396 in zone 1
Can someone give me the code to loop this an infinite amount of times? I’ve tried but it says I can only loop overlays.
You can’t use “AND” for loops. You can only use “THEN”
Alright so mines complicated, I’m generally good at directing but for the life of me I can’t figure out why my character stops then continues… like Idk how to explain it but it doesn’t run smoothly and it won’t let me upload a screen recording… please help before I go crazy!!!
Post what you have in your script
Which line of coding are you having the issue with? And can you explain with more detail on what isn’t working?
