Can someone please help with Car moving

This is making me a bit angry, lol :joy:
I want this car to move left but it’s not moving at all!

Script 1

@overlay EXT. LUXURY CAR AQUA PROFILE FLIPPED - DAY shifts to 238 5 in zone 3 in 5
@overlay EXT. LUXURY CAR AQUA PROFILE FLIPPED - DAY scales to 0.838 0.838
@overlay EXT. LUXURY CAR AQUA PROFILE FLIPPED - DAY moves to layer 6

Script 2

@overlay EXT. LUXURY CAR AQUA PROFILE FLIPPED - DAY shifts to 342 -8 in zone 3 in 5
@overlay EXT. LUXURY CAR AQUA PROFILE FLIPPED - DAY scales to 0.838 0.838
@overlay EXT. LUXURY CAR AQUA PROFILE FLIPPED - DAY moves to layer 6

No matter what I do, it’s not moving! I want it to run to the right.
Please help if you know!

You should consider re-uploading it and changing the overlay name. I’ve been told by the Episode Team quite awhile back it’s best to avoid naming in the same format as backgrounds.

You also don’t need “moves to layer” when it comes to overlays, just “to layer #” works fine. :relaxed:

like reuploading the picture? It’s episode’s overlay not mine

Oh, well if it’s Episode’s overlay, I don’t think it’s supposed to be able to shift. :skull:

Really…? You can’t shift Episode overlays…?
That is weird

You can. Not sure where they got that information but you can animate any overlay.

the overlay is already in zone 3 so is that the reason it isn’t working? (I want it to move in zone 3 but to the right)

Can you post a screenshot of your script?

In your previewer, it shows the red car. But in your script, you have the aqua car shifting for both redcar and bluecar flags.

It’s showing a red car for my previewer because I clicked the “red car option” that will let the readers ride in a red car. The red car & the blue car both have the same script

But you don’t have the red car overlay in the “redcar” flag in the if/elif. You have the aqua car for both flags

ohh i see, now. thanks

the car is still not moving :sob: :sob: :sob:

I’ve seen a lot of people have issues with layering Episode’s overlays that come with backgrounds but I’m not familiar with the names of them since I don’t really use any of their overlays and backgrounds, so I just assumed it might’ve been one of those, but with a shifting issue or something.

When I saw “car” my mind immediately went to those car overlays that normally come with looping backgrounds. :skull:

Hmm, that’s weird. I don’t use Episode’s overlays often either

This is a really random question but is your pfp Victor now? Your gender bender/twin brother?

No, it isn’t Viktor. It’s Dax, he’s one of my incredibly handsome characters from an upcoming story. :joy::v:t2:
