Hello, I’m new here and I’m just starting my first story. I have a problem: my character is appearing in a bubble and not like the character is in the room. How to get character out of the bubble?
I hope it’s understandable what I’m trying to say.

when you have created the story you have chosen that it appears in that way. I am not sure but try writing at the beginning of each episode:

set format cinematic

if it didn’t work then I think you should recreate your story and choose the format that you want

@JemU776 @Apes can you check if what I said is correct?

[JemU776]

Yes you’re right

@Mateja You can read more here: HOW TO: Spotlight Format

@JemU776

So, in a cinematic format story (a full character display one where advanced directing can be used and spot walking), you can switch into and out of the spotlight format using these commands:

set format spotlight
#the story will be in spotlight format until you reset it by writing:
set format cinematic
#the story after this command has been written in will be in cinematic.

@JemU776

Note that if you select for your story to be in Spotlight Format, you cannot use set format cinematic in these stories-your whole story has to be in spotlight.

So I actually helped someone with this before here (you can read our messages being exchanged back and forth):

HOW TO: Enter and Exit Scenes

It’s fine, dw we all start somewhere When you first selected your story, after you choose a style, did you pick spotlight or full body display (cinematic)? Because if you chose spotlight, that can be your problem. You might need to make a new story, select carefully and choose full body display (cinematic). Also make sure your character exists and you use their script name.

How do you make silouettes in episode?

[JemU776]

When you go to characters, for Body Color, choose Silhouette, choose none for all of the other features (except keep a face shape). When you’re choosing the character’s clothing, you can just pick a tattoo or something and save.

Or you can upload overlays (Pixabay is a good web site for this)

can anyone help?

@Rand.Episode

INT.BLACK - NIGHT with REMEMBER in zone 1

@overlay REMEMBER opacity 1 in 0

OK so I gave someone advice in regards to that:

How do I make tappable overlays?

You can read more on this thread I would just recommend to upload your own black background. I have one here, feel free to use:

Also when you add the overlay to the background you don’t need to add the opacity underneath.

But if you’re using the create command then yes, you need to add the opacity for it to be visible.

So do I upload my own black background and then try the overlay again?

[JemU776]

Yes, I’d do that, let me know how it goes (i have one free to use, no credit required in the post i linked)

[epy.emmily]

OMG OMG OMG it worked THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[weebmaster]
