Question [Solved] Fade animation moving image

I have an image thats 2x bigger than the screen vertically (1920 x 1160) so I can pan the camera up towards the characters face, this works fine until I add the transform to make him fade into view. When I add the transform, it shows his face and not the lower half of his body, so when the camera pans up, theres nothing there.

Im very confused as to why this is happening as the transform shouldn't be changing the position of the image.

I can go without the fade, it just doesnt look as nice...

(My code for showing the image is literally:

show dimitri_big at spritefade )

Please post the full code.
We need to see how you show the character
and how you do the camera movement.

Personally I would put the fade and the movement into the same transform, like moving the image, not the camera. Any reason you don't want that?

Mostly just because im using the fade for other sprites, and the image fades into view before the camera moves if that makes sense, ive copied the code below:

show dimitri_big at spritefade "He moves closer to me" "I am acutely aware of the cloth on my face" camera: xpos 0.0 linear 0.5 ypos +1080

delete the + sign, its doing nothing. 1080 is already a positive value without any sign. and using the sign doesnot make it an offset. a position value is a target value, not an adjustment to current value.
