I’m trying to code/write my first story & have hit many bumps in the road that neither YouTube or I have been able to forgive out. Haha.

I just tweaked a bunch of my speech bubbles to not be covering sitting characters faces & now line way above these in my story have warnings. Also after I did this one of my characters magically disappeared.

Also when I try to have the camera FOLLOW my character to a different zone she pops up in the middle of the screen in the first zone then walks

[JemU776]

Can you show a screenshot of your script where the problem is occurring?

Also,

when I try to have the camera FOLLOW my character to a different zone she pops up in the middle of the screen in the first zone then walks

Check out: HOW TO: Stage Direction

I talk about following a character to another zone.

HOW TO: Stage Direction

Following a character to a different zone:

The follow command:
@follow CHARACTER to POSITION in zone # and CHARACTER does it while animation

An example using this command:
@follow CHARACTER to screen center in zone 2 AND CHARACTER does it while run_jog

The follow command using spot directing:

&pan to zone # in T
@CHARACTER walks to spot S X Y in zone # in T and CHARACTER does it while animation

An example for it:
&pan to zone 2 in 3
@CHARACTER walks to spot 1.280 200 0 in zone 2 in 3 AND CHARACTER does it while run_jog

Note that you should place her in the zone before you pan to the zone.

Example:

&CHAR stands screen center in zone 3 AND CHAR faces left
@pan to zone 3 in 1

Idk how to screen shot it off my phone like how to make all the writing show so I can type the line out.

@follow MORGAN from right to screen right in zone 3 AND MORGAN is walk_neutral_loop THEN MORGAN faces left

The warning reads:
“@follow MORGAN from right to screen right in zone 3 AND MORGAN is walk_neutral_loop THEN MORGAN faces left is not a valid directing command”

[JemU776]

@follow MORGAN from right to screen right in zone 3 AND MORGAN is walk_neutral_loop THEN MORGAN faces left

@follow MORGAN to screen right in zone 3

[higgy_wiggy]

So remove everything else but that?

[higgy_wiggy]

That has her still pop up on the right side of zone one and then start walking. I would like it to look like she is walking in from the left all the way to zone three

[JemU776]

So you want her to begin at screen left in zone 1 and then walk to screen right in zone 3, right?

[higgy_wiggy]

Yes

[JemU776]

Here’s an example:

EXT. BACKGROUND NAME - DAY

&zoom reset

@YOU enters from left to screen left THEN follow YOU to screen right in zone 3 in 3 AND YOU does it while walk_neutral THEN YOU is idle

[JemU776]

Is it working fine now?

[higgy_wiggy]

Yes! I just fixed it and I didn’t know what the reset thing was at first but I figured it out thank you.

[JemU776]

Oh OK, glad to hear the example helped, have a good day/afternoon/evening/night

How do I make my family members change with my MC? I gave full CC/ become your episode avatar. I looked on here but the coding seems like a lot on the two I found when the coding for CC was really easy.

[Jade.epi]

Twins & Family Members CC

[higgy_wiggy]

Yeah I read that one but I guess I just don’t understand it unfortunately

[Jade.epi]

Place your family members off screen and put something like @MUM becomes MC but just change her eye shape and maybe lip shape so she looks older. For a sister, change maybe eyebrow shape or whatever. For males … I’m not 100% if the becomes command works. Someone here will know
