Hi again.
I got an issue with fading my character. I already read Dara’s thread about it and followed every step of it but since I’m starting my scene with many other commands it confuses me af… 
Here is what I got so far:
EXT. GRAVEYARD - DAY with GRAVEYARD_OVERLAY in zone 2 at layer 2
&ARIEL moves to layer 1 and UNKNOWN moves to layer 3
@overlay GRAVEYARD_OVERLAY opacity 0.25 in 0
@zoom reset
@overlay 5515322715078656_GRAVEYARD_OVERLAY shifts to -319 1
@overlay 5515322715078656_GRAVEYARD_OVERLAY scales to 1.234 1.234
#@overlay GRAVEYARD_OVERLAY opacity 0.5 in 0
@UNKNOWN spot 0.938 244 52 in zone 2 AND UNKNOWN faces left
@zoom on 269 0 to 122% in 0
&zoom on 585 143 to 155% in 3
@cut to zone 2
&ARIEL spot 0.992 -50 10 THEN ARIEL walks to spot 0.992 149 10 in 3 AND ARIEL does it while walk_neutral
@transition fade in white in 3
#@UNKNOWN moves to layer 3 AND ARIEL moves to layer 1
@ARIEL spot 0.992 149 10 in zone 2 AND ARIEL is idle
The overlay already has the right size and I want “Unknown” to be seen normally and Ariel shall be fading. Is anybody able to help me with that? 
Perhaps it’s because you put
#@UNKNOWN moves to layer 3 AND ARIEL moves to layer 1
instead of:
@UNKNOWN moves to layer 3 AND ARIEL moves to layer 1
and it looks like you did the same with:
#@overlay GRAVEYARD_OVERLAY opacity 0.5 in 0
No, unfortunately not. I made it like that because it was my first try but it didn’t work and I didn’t want to delete it
But thanks for your answer anyway 
Is there anyway to get this to work in a script?
choice (hair) [shouldPaginate: YES]
I’m trying to remember a choice while allowing the choices to automatically separate into pages.

I don’t think that would work with customization cuz there’s no way to “ungain” gains, so the reader would gain the gains for every choice they press on
I tried this in my script and it worked

Hey! I just started writing my first story not too long ago, but I can’t get the transitions down. I always have a lot of things going on before the transitions fade in, so maybe I have too many commands? Here’s something copy and pasted as an example:
INT. TEEN SISTER’S BEDROOM - DAY with TEDDYBEAR with TOYPILE
@overlay 5676696397021184_TEDDYBEAR shifts to 154 90
@overlay 5676696397021184_TEDDYBEAR scales to 0.275 0.275
@overlay 5676696397021184_TOYPILE shifts to 0 -3
@overlay 5676696397021184_TOYPILE scales to 0.520 0.520
@zoom on 212 0 to 177% in 0
@CAROLINE2 spot 0.804 248 59
@JESSIE2 spot 0.817 98 57
@JESSIE2 faces right
@CAROLINE2 is sleep_sitting
@JESSIE2 is sleep_sitting
@transition fade in black 10

Can some one tell me what I did wrong? I’ve been staring at this for like 10 minutes and I have no idea
I put it into my script and it worked, maybe try re-writing it 
yea it has worked for me before too so I was really confused
Maybe delete line 27 so there is no room between the narration and the choice
still didn’t work, i usually use spaces to keep everything neat. it doesn’t really effect it
You misspelled label. Try writing it like this:
label changing_appearance
omg thank you! I always miss little things like that.

Glad I helped 
10 seconds is a REALLY long time in episode try 3 seconds.

I messed with the times a bit and the same thing is still happening. It fades out, then suddenly the characters pop on screen, then fades back in.
You should write something like:
INT. TEEN SISTER’S BEDROOM - DAY with TEDDYBEAR with TOYPILE
@overlay 5676696397021184_TEDDYBEAR shifts to 154 90
@overlay 5676696367021184_TEDDYBEAR scales to 0.275 0.275
@overlay 5676696397021184_TOYPILE shifts to 0 -3
@overlay 5676696397021184_TOYPILE scales to 0.520 0.520
@zoom on 212 0 to 177% in 0
&CAROLINE2 spot 0.804 248 59 AND JESSIE2 spot 0.817 98 57 AND JESSIE2 faces right AND CAROLINE2 is sleep_sitting AND JESSIE2 is sleep_sitting
@transition fade in black 3
and maybe try adding ‘&’ before the overlays and see if that will work
