Forced expression changes flashing not holding

[HavingIssues1088]

I apologize if I'm using this incorrectly, I've tried to find a way to accomplish something simple with Sorcery and I've been unable to manage it. Hoping I can find some help here.

I've attempted to trigger a change of expression using the /emote command, as a workaround to include a nearly infinite amount of expressions as well as position changes in addition to creating a method for ST to change background dynamically based off the chat (something i couldn't get to work by other means) by using /bg and while the background has changed inconsistently the expressions simply flash and revert back to "neutral" position. I thought maybe my STscript language was the issue...

What I have written out for a position trigger: (for example)

{{char}} faces away from {{user}}

and the STscript field is:

/emote backturned

or for the background change:

{{char}} and {{user}} are in a park

and the STscript field is:

/bg park

I have an "expression" for the character of the same name but as i said it simply flashes. The background works occasionally. I'm using the most current version of ST as of 9/9/202, updated the extension but nothing seems to help. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong. I'm not very proficient in coding but I've been using ST for a while and have some basic knowledge on how to troubleshoot etc..

Thanks for your time in advanced.

Does the sorcery script work when you test it? And are you sure the value you are trying to change is spelled correctly? Sometimes the right value is not obvious or can be more specific in the Sorcery context.
