@JOSIE spot 0.821 220 194 in zone 2 at layer -1

Try
@JOSIE spot 0.821 220 194 in zone 2 and JOSIE moves to layer -1

I don’t quite understand why Elena exits, then is back on spot

[KK_active]

I’ve tried it but it still doesn’t work. Thanks though

[its.emmaepisode]

Can I ask what are the spot for your characters in the beginning of the scene

[KK_active]

Yeah sure i’ll give you the scene:

INT. CAFE- DAY with CAFE COUNTER to 1.000 307 85 in zone 2 at layer 2
@ELENA spot 1.280 160 0 in zone 1
@AMY spot 1.280 50 0 in zone 1
@AMY faces right
&ELENA faces left
@pan to zone 1
@pause for a beat
ELENA (talk_airquotes)
Now if you’ve stopped sulking
@AMY starts eyeroll_subtle
@pause for a beat
AMY (talk_think_neutral)
I think as an apology you should get me a Flat White
@ELENA starts idle_armscrossed_angry_loop
@pause for a beat
@pause for a beat
ELENA (talk_exhausted)
Fine.
AMY (talk_neutral)
I’ll get us a table
ELENA (talk_shrug_neutral)
Okay then I’ll see you in a bit
@AMY starts listen_nod_happy_loop
@pause for a beat
@ELENA starts idle_happy_loop
@AMY exits right

@pause for a beat
ELENA (think_rubchin)
(Now where do I order?)
@pause for a beat
@ELENA exits right
@JOSIE spot 0.821 220 194 in zone 2 and JOSIE moves to layer -1
@ELENA spot 0.866 107 174 in zone 2
@pause for a beat
@pan to zone 2
@pause for a beat

It’s not finished yet though…

when you are in the zone 2 go to the spot directing and check where is your counter overlay - it seem to me the problem mighr be that is is actually not on the right spot - because based on the coordinates the overlay is on the right border of zone 2 …so maybe it actualy should be on this coorsinates in zone 1?

[KK_active]

The counter is meant to be in zone 2 and behind them

[Anu1]

Give me a second

[Anu1]

Try moving the overlay to zone 2 where she moves Idk why it isn’t working cause I am trying it and its working but not anymore maybe there is a glitch. But try moving the overlay to zone 2 after she walks to zone 2. And try setting it like this

[Anu1]

ANd after you scale it right use the thing labeled “Backward layer -1” to put it in the middle of them then copy and paste it to your script

[KK_active]

Hey thanks for the help i moved the overlay to zone 1 and it workedddddd!!!

[Anu1]

Glad it worked
