You mean this code? @CHARACTER spot 1.280 38 22
I meant the code of the character walking out, but its okay. I’ll just give you the general rule. You use the following code to have a character walk and do an animation at the same time:
@CHAR walks to _______ AND CHAR does it while animation_name
I tried but I still don’t know how to do it.
Nevermind I did it but this way and it worked!
&CHARACTER is walk_exhausted_loop AND CHARACTER exits left
Ah yes! I thought you were exiting the character by using @CHAR walks to ____. That’s why I usually ask for the code loll. But, no worries, I’m glad you were able to figure it out

I have another question, I’m sorry if I’m such a bother but, do you know how to let the reader customize their own character and the love interest? And how can I block some options, I mean, a character of mine must have the same skin color, hair among others because of their nationality. How do I block those options so that the reader does not change them?
Character customization, also known as CC, is done using a CC code that involves a lot of complex commands. Episode, thanks to @Dara.Amarie, has a CC template you can access on the writer’s portal:
You can also access Dara’s direct CC code here.
Now if you want to limit the CC, you will have to go in and delete certain parts of the code. Unfortunately, that is also complex. If you aren’t familiar with this type of coding, it’s very easy to mess it up. If you want to give it a try, I can give you some tips. But if you want to play it safe, I suggest asking another director to create a CC specific to your needs.
Thank you so much for your help!
How do u add in a overlay a bit into the scene?
You have to create it and add the opacity for visibility:
@overlay OVERLAY_NAME create
@overlay OVERLAY_NAME opacity 1
You can find more info on what opacity is and how you can scale and shift your overlay here.
This scene is set in zone 2, and I want the zoom to focus on a person in the first zone, but this is apparently incorrect, so can someone please tell me what to write instead
@zoom on 17 481 to 214% in 0.2 in zone 1
You can’t add on a zone onto a zoom command. If you want the zoom to focus on someone in zone 1, you’ll have to start out at zone 1 and then move to zone 2 for the scene.
Okay
so it is see through now? How do I make it visible?
Make sure the opacity is at 1:
@overlay OVERLAY_NAME opacity 1
And then make sure you shift and scale the overlay so that it’s on screen. I gave you a link on the last post where you can find more on overlay placement.
I have a character walking back into a scene and he makes it all the way there but then just disappears?

Did you forget something?

it shows the right zones so I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.
Can I see more of the code please?

(I really hope you can forgive me Lem.)
is that enough?
Yes, thank you. So I’m guessing you cut to zone 2 at the beginning of the scene. Everything looks fine to me. Did you try previewing on the app?
Yes I cut to zone 3 at the very beginning then back to 2. I tried the app and he still disappears.
