[@justgalactic3831]

Thank you. You are a life saver and the secret of rain and glitch girl are amazing stories

[@slaybelle1967]

TIP: It doesn't need to be seven seconds. The speed of the loop will depend on you. If you wanna do a running scene, you can put: &overlay OVERLAYNAME shifts to -960 0 in *3* THEN overlay OVERLAYNAME shifts to 0 0 in 0 loop infinite times You can speed up or slow down the loop rate depending on how many seconds it will take to loop to the end and back.

[@jiafei630]

You basically have to create two characters. They need to be identical. There are so other videos explaining it. Just search “episode interactive mirror reflection”

I've been trying to make a convincing sword fight scene between two characters, for a fantasy story. It also involves a scene where the MC is fighting against a monster. Any advice?

[@taetm8868]

Use the punching action and make sure the sword stays on hand, or zoom on the hand

[@alanafrazer]

Woohooo!!! Thanks Joseph!!! Keep up with these awesome tutorials!!!

[@jessas2287]

Hello! Can you make a video on how to make the camera shake in the story cause im trying to make an episode story of a plane crash and i cant find any tutorials for it :(

[@k_ethos]

He has already done a video about that, if you scroll down his video list it’s called something like ‘Camera Shake Script’ and the thumbnail is an ink girl falling into a bush.

[@jessas2287]

@@k_ethos I know but i dont know how to do it in the scripting part

[@IAmMsMystery]

You just need to pick zoom spots on the "sides" that you want it to shake to of the main set and pick very short times for example @ zoom on x1 in 0.2 THEN zoom on x2 in 0.2 THEN zoom on x1 in 0.2 repeat how many times you would like. Also you can change the zooms to further or closer from each other in time. If you still need help you can dm me on instagram @luna_marie_rose_episode

[@Sophie-dm4rp]

I love this video it’s super helpful ❤️

[@jenniferdeluca8727]

Can you please do a tutorial on how to make characters different heights while walking in to the scene, when you have time ofc. For example, I want my first character to walk into the scene but I want them to be shorter than my second character. Thankssss

[@neriahxfaith]

Jennifer Deluca Try spotting the characters in a different zone then walk them into the zone the screen is looking at

[@demi339]

I WANT a loop as background not a overlay

[@AM-mn9ry]

... uh yeah that’s what this is.

[@anyadane2658]

was wondering can you make the characters talk while having the background move...is so how do you do it??

[@mxria1447]

you do the same thing but instead of writing ''@CHARACTER is walk_neutral_loop'' you can select a different animation like ''@CHARACTER is talk_neutral'' so now they'll be talking instead of walking

[@ledibugg1886]

This vid helped so much

thank you soooo much! and i had no idea the and (&) sign was called an ampersand😹

[@Sweetygirlmarisa8]

hey! thanks for the tutorial but everytime I play the preview the overlay doesn't seem to really loop, at the end of the loop the background is going to show up, pls help

[@pres-hannahcommey1674]

Same here😕

[@rebeccart3655]

So, if you want to loop it to the other way, you have to write: &overlay OVERLAYNAME shifts to -960 0 in 0 THEN overlay OVERLAYNAME shifts to 0 0 in 7 loop infinite times Am I right?

[@BetterxDayz]

Continue with the great work!!!

[@kunjuuu2]

you could just mirror the image and place it on the end where your original image ends...It should create alloping background?!

[@unofficialbeautyqueen6624]

Another helpful video! Thank you so much, Joseph! Also, did you ever mention a way to create those nice location buttons when it comes to tappable overlays? I'm not sure if I missed it or not 🙂

[@etetgg1364]

Thank you so much Joseph, I was wondering if you can loop from up to down tho?

[@innashehter7942]

I think that you can but I don't know how😅

[@lararoberts2020]

wiat but what do i do if I want my narration bubble to move alone with the background?

[@x.o.icysnows1020]

This didn't work for me. :( I did exactly what you did but with the episode forest overlay and it went super small, I resized it to the needed size but now its started to loop to late.

[@sabreharmon4085]

X.O. Icy Snows I’m using the episode forest overlay to and it’s not showing up at, probably not even looping 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m so confused and frustrated right now

[@user-oq6er5ye1x]

You are so smart thank you so much!!!!!

[@loganhansen4279]

Thank you so much I needed this !!

[@leylahxol.q.7894]

But how do you get ur overlays approved this is a problem of mine they always just stay in review how do i get it approved?

[@luv4emilee]

you wait, sometimes it takes awhile. They either get approved or they don’t. If they don’t it probably doesn’t go by episode’s guidelines

[@diablalyssa]

What if you're making a loop background from an image size 1920x1136? There's no extra space for overlapping/erasing to make it loop seamlessly :(

[@Modellflug4Life]

You'd have to "sacrifice" part of the image. Take the first zone (640 pixels wide) and put it over the last, just like Joseph does in the video. He too lost half a zone worth of image through the overlapping (most of the big wave). Otherwise you might be able to make it five zones wide and figure out the different placement for the coding. Sry, kinda bad at explaining stuff in english 😂

[@Tay64111]

Hey Joseph! I have a question. I read *”City of the Fallen Sky”* on Episode. And I really liked it! Are you going to continue it on Episode, or am I gonna have to buy the book to figure out what happens next? LOL

[@crystalrose7622]

Hi Joseph! Your stories are amazing, I finished Glitch Girl just today and I am curious to know what the secret scene was as I had only collected 4/5 memory cards. What was it?

[@cloroxbleach945]

Can someone please tell me how you make that drop down tab where you would say something that can not be said during the story. how do you do it???

Hey Joseph, Thank you so much for this tutorial! How do I convert a transparent png that is 4 Megabytes while keeping the transparency? I’ve done about 6 hours of research with lots of trail and error but still no luck :( It is a transparent png I made on gimp, I am trying to upload it as a overlay on episode. I know you’re super busy but if you had a website you could link or any tips I’d be so grateful!

Hello Channel To change clothes and dust off your clothes Paste this into your script: @CHARACTER changes into Outfit_Name &CHARACTER is dustoff_neutral_loop When you Paste this into your script replace CHARACTER with the characters name that is changing in all caps. Replace Outfit_Name with the name of the outfit that they are changing into. :D

Means like a pool, how we want to do it?

[@Lealdo]

a bit over complicated... just get the picture duplicate it flip it horizontally shove it on the end

[@JosephEvansAuthor]

I thought this might work too, but unfortunately not. This doesn't make zones 1 and 4 identical, which is what is needed for swapping out in Episode and creating the infinite loop.

What code did you use to make them walking? Also what code would you use if you wanted a character to run crying off stage?

[@IAmMsMystery]

If you want to make someone run off while crying just use code @NAME walks to spot (set spot outside of frame) in x AND NAME does it while ACTION NAME ( in this case you would use run_cry_embarrassed_loop) If you don't use spot directing like that you can just do this @NAME exits left AND NAME does it while run_cry_embarrassed_loop

[@IAmMsMystery]

The code for the walking is in the video and I think he also added the whole coding in the description
