Whats wrong with my code?

@blue_jellybean,

I don’t think you can enter to a spot. Try starting the character at a spot off screen, then have them walk to the spot you want.

Try:
@WAITER enters from left to spot 1.269 286 27 AND WAITER faces left

How do I delete a character I already created?

how do i make my character walk to a spot with the camera following him walking to a certain spot?

You have to delete this character from the script first. Then you will be able to delete it in character creation.

@CHARACTER walks to spot % X Y in zone # AND pan to zone #
Or
&pan to zone #
@CHARCTER walks to spot % X Y in zone #

theres only one zone in my background i tried it and the camera following isn’t working

You would have to use zoom then

-yes
-yees
but it’s just not working :frowning:

So what exactly is not working? Do you have any errors?

The male character it’s not taller than the girl, but i want him to enter to the scene, and when i preview it, he is taller than her, but then he enters the scene and again he is the size like her :frowning:

Can you show me your script?

@JADE enters from left to screen center AND JADE is walk_offset
#@Maxine_Aaron walks to spot 1.340 50 0 in 4 AND @Maxine_Aaron faces left AND @Maxine_Aaron does it while walk_neutral
@Maxine_Aaron enters from left to screen left AND LOGAN is walk_neutral
@JADE faces left
JADE (talk_gesture_rear)
I remember this
We used to spend a lot of time here

@Maxine_Aaron faces left
LOGAN (talk_rear)
It’s been almost a year since i was here for the last time…

    JADE (talk_gesture_rear)
Since i ended our friendship?

    LOGAN (talk_rear)
Yeah...

    JADE (talk_gesture_rear)
Why?

    LOGAN (talk_rear)
Why what?

    JADE (talk_gesture_rear)
Why didn't you come back here after that?

    LOGAN (talk_rear)
Because I knew that if I came back here
I would have look for you again
Cause I didn't want to lose you

@JADE faces left
@JADE is deepbreath
@pause for a beat

    JADE (talk_awkward)
I'm sorry
I didn't mean to hurt you...
You used to be the most important person in my life
And I want you back in my life

this is what i have

how can I have someone doind something for a certain amout of time?

Your script:
EXT. TROPICAL BEACH DUSK - DAY
@Maxine_Aaron spot 1.334 50 0 (he’s standing on screen, he should be offscreen)
@JADE enters from left to screen center AND JADE is walk_offset
#@Maxine_Aaron walks to spot 1.340 50 0 in 4 AND @Maxine_Aaron faces left AND @Maxine_Aaron does it while walk_neutral (you only use @ on the beginning, delete the rest, also he’s walking backwards)
@Maxine_Aaron enters from left to screen left AND LOGAN is walk_neutral (you used default command that’s why he’s in default size)

My changes:
EXT. TROPICAL BEACH DUSK - DAY
@Maxine_Aaron spot 1.334 -88 12 (he is offscreen now)
@JADE enters from left to screen center AND JADE is walk_offset
@Maxine_Aaron walks to spot 1.334 53 12 in 4 AND LOGAN does it while walk_neutral (he walks to spot on screen)

You can’t time the actions but you can use
@pause for S

Example:
@pause for 5

scene will pause for 5 seconds

Can you make something a premium choice (many they have to pay diamonds for it) when you are a beginning writer or is that episode’s job? If I can, how would I do it?

You can make a Golden Choice but not an actual Gem Choice. It’s only an Episode thing, although some authors are testing it in their User Stories now.
