I’ve seen in some high profile stories that authors are able to use the last stage of an animation immediately instead of waiting for the whole thing to finish, for example: The face expression that comes at the end of the ‘shush’ animation, or the expression that comes at the end of ‘flirt_fingersnap’
I’ve noticed this particularly in the story The New Girl.
Is this a special feature only some authors can use? Like I know the fading cross dissolve transitions are also only available for some authors too…
I’ve done that before, but it’s a lot more convenient to have them do it in a scene immediately for a reaction and not wait for the animation to play out, even in another zone or with zooms.
Okay, I’m an idiot, lol.
The thing with the pause is if you don’t want an animation to finish.
Like @CHARACTER is dance_kpop @pause for 0.5 @CHARACTER is faint
So the dance animation won’t be finished.
The last stage of an animation is like Apes said only possible if you place the character offscreen.
I would do it with zooming, it’s the easiest way to to do.
