thank you so much, I have been working on a story and I couldn't get them to be smaller or bigger 😀💕

You- you are such a helpful channel TYSMMMM!!!😳😭

AWWWWEEE YOUR WELCOMEEEE

[@emmaedwards8805]

i need a character to have their back to the screen and to be kneeling on the floor at them same time, can anyone help me PLEASE!

[@lifewithjuice.2095]

Idk if this will help but maybe try these actions: reach_kneel_neutral_rear or tinker_kneel_neutral_loop_rear

[@jasminevillasenor9825]

You should do a video on spot directing background characters on movie seats. That’s just something I’m struggling with right now.

[@episodetv2359]

To see how to change the height and size of your character specifically, go to 1:47 in the video. For regular placement, like having the character on left or right side of the screen, watch as normal.

[@PK-Love7]

Can you tell me how do it scale it because I can't understand how to scale it even after clicking the option what should I do with my mouse to scale it

[@guodarazmaite4031]

Thanks a lot! I've been struggling with this for a long time!

[@Slashbabee]

I need help with having them walk but being the height that I want them to be 😭 also walking to a certain spot and being that height

[@nikkikhachayants3301]

I’ll give you an example

[@nikkikhachayants3301]

Let’s say your character is in zone 2 so if you want your character to walk the same height you have to write @CHARACTER spot 1.040 249 38 and CHARACTER walks to spot 1.040 249 38

[@Lb_2407]

@@nikkikhachayants3301 I was really confused and trying to figure out how to do that so thank you!!

[@godlygaminggal6086]

This is really helpful thank you. How do you spot direct running in scene with animation?

[@danielahauke3044]

Hi this is very helpful but i wanted to ask how can I make character go to the spot not just stand . (Sorry for my grammar mistakes English isn't my first language 😅)

im working on right now and i do these and it says its wrong ? im so slow on these kind of things lol

[@ximena9690]

Hi! Um I have a question, let's say I want to make theathre seats scene, but with the people already seated there without them walking to the seat, how do I do that? P.D: Your videos are awesome! If you didn't get what I asked I can explain it to you more detailed

[@cmcgee564]

how do i make them walk to that position?

[@canlasprincess199]

btw, how do you find overlay helper because i really dont have one...

[@episodetv2359]

You have to preview the story online, and then click Show Helpers. i show how in the video! :) Let me know if you have any more questions!

[@canlasprincess199]

thankyouu

[@emmy5725]

Heey! Your videos have been such a huge help with creating my episode. I wanted to ask how can I code a scene where the scene starts but the characters are already standing there. I'm writing a funeral scene and it looks weird when the scene starts and everyone starts popping out of no where in zone 1. Pleasee help :( Thank youuu Owo

[@episodetv2359]

Okay! Good question! Instead of @, do &. So... &CHARACTER stands screen center The & makes everything faster!

[@starstruck5547]

@@episodetv2359 OMG 😨 No wonder it wasn’t working 😅😅

[@itsmikaela8866]

idk if this makes sense, but how do i make a child stay small when entering the screen? idk if that makes sense but i’m really struggling with it

[@nikkikhachayants3301]

Let’s say your character is in zone 2 so if you want your character to walk the same height you have to write @CHARACTER spot 1.040 249 38 and CHARACTER walks to spot 1.040 249 38

Im having difficulties! It doesn’t give me the option to spot direct. And my character keeps appearing from the back and in the scene:( hopefully you can help lol.

[@tinikoclareleoneclements4369]

Woah, never knew there were different ways to do this. I usually say @CHARACTER stands screen center or sm

[@poppy6291]

[@oldcabbageman]

I typed in @ASPASIA is at screen center AND ASPASIA faces left but it shows me a scripting error warning. I'm trying to have my character seated in a certain part of the background with another character standing near them, but I can't figure out how to have them in that part of the background.

[@hollander.apark_4828]

Hi, I put nine characters at once in the same scene, and when I preview they just appear one by one instead of appearing all at once, and i did't even type "pause for a beat" but it paused in zone 1 for at least 6-7 secs before panning to zone 3, why would this happen?

[@enticingzenny4917]

that happens to me to idk how to fix it

[@episodetv2359]

Hi! This is happening because the computer is playing one line at a time. In order to make it go faster, replace @ with &! Make sure your character placements are before the panning code! Thank you for watching Episode TV!

[@jessmorrell331]

How do you make a character to from the left of the screen to a certain part while doing a running animation?

[@episodetv2359]

Ah! By using my instructions in the video, find the spot placement where the character runs to. @NAME walks to (put spot here, remove parenthesis of course) AND NAME is (put running animation here) Let me know if this works and if you ever have any questions! If you would like a character to run over and over, like on a treadmill, reply back, and I can send you the link! :D

[@mayareeves6022]

Hi so I did the right coding for @CHARACTER enters from left to screen left and my character won’t even show up. How do I fix that?

[@episodetv2359]

Hi! Is there an error on the left side? If not, I think it may be because you cut to a different zone and your character is walking to zone 1 so you can't see it. Is your background cut to a different zone? Thank you for watching Episode TV!
