Hi, I’m new to Episode writing. How do you pan to a different zone while having narration? No characters are on the screen, so I’m not sure how to format that in the script.
To pan use this command-
@pan to zone #
And to have narration while panning just write it like this-
&pan to zone #
NARRATOR
BLAH BLAH…
Use this sign “&” when you want a animation happen simultaneously one after another without pause…

Hi.
You need to use the & sign instead of @ for the overlay shift. Right now they happen seperately.
Also put in the same time - 3.0 - for the size change as you have for the car moving, else they won’t be in sync. Or, as you don’t seem to change the size, skip the scale to altogether.

Do you guys know how to get those bars you know, where it shows on top of the story. Like, it’s all the way on the top. It’s like a narrator chat but smaller and is on the top
Thank you!
Soooo another crazy stupid question how do i make my character have pajama pants on in a morning wake up screen… also I’m writing most of it on app except for choices overlays backgrounds so use web for that just use mobile for main wording script as of now till i can figure out all commands… thanks
Have you made an outfit for pajamas?
Alright, you will need to make her change outfits before the scene starts. You can do this during the opening of the scene before it appears.
@CHARACTER changes into Outfit Name
Once you do that, she should be in the right outfit when she appears on the screen.
