Because you’ve used the idle_smoking command straight after the sit command. You need overlay of the legs if you want her to sit AND smoke

3

That is chinese for me can you rewrite that piece what’s wrong please x

Here you should use only sitting animation OR you should cover her legs and show her like she is sitting while she is standing so that you can use any animations! OR you can upload legs overlay and attach it as if it looks like she is sitting while she is standing.

I didn’t get you! Can you please elaborate? If you want her to sit and smoke there is no animations for it!

If you want to do it you need a table or some other overlays which covers her legs! You need to reposition the character while it is standing and then use animations so that it looks like she is sitting.

yes but i got that scene from herself … and if i change her position i have to change to smoking shifting too and i cant do that x

11

What you can do is zoom so it looks like she’s sitting but smoking

12

yes that is a possibility but i am not using it right now, but i want to figure it out how it works to let that smoke moves … I want to use it everytime someone is smoking a sigrarette x

It’s basically what the people above me said:

By writing this command, the second animation cancels out the first. You’re using & for them and if you check out Script Symbols/Commands and What They're Used For you’ll understand how & works.

Sitting and smoking together doesn’t exist. The animation doesn’t exist. Just like the people mentioned above, if you want her to sit and smoke, you need to use overlays for her legs. You can read about overlays here: A Guide to Using & Animating OVERLAYS
This overlays guide I linked is very helpful if you want to know how they work-I recommend going over it and practicing. You can learn so much about moving overlays, adding them into the scene and other stuff.

Hope this helps :smile_cat:
