Character won't stay behind overlay

I have a character that I want to go behind an overlay. I am able to because I have the character move to a negative layer. She does go behind the overlay when she walks over there, but she always goes in front of it right after she gets to the spot.

I want SKYLAR to move behind the overlay HOSPITALBED

Here’s the code:
INT. JUVIE HOSPITAL ROOM - DAY
@zoom reset
@cut to zone 2
@overlay HOSPITALBED create
@overlay HOSPITALBED opacity 1
@overlay HOSPITALBED shifts to -61 188 in zone 2
@overlay HOSPITALBED scales to 0.996 0.996
@overlay HOSPITALBED to layer 0
@DOCTOR moves to layer 20
@DOCTOR spot 0.634 259 325
@DOCTOR faces right
&DOCTOR is tinker_stand_neutral_loop_rear
@LUCAS moves to layer 0
@NURSE2 moves to layer 20
@NURSE2 spot 0.708 39 295
@NURSE2 faces left
&NURSE2 is tinker_stand_neutral_loop_rear
@LUCAS changes into lucasinjuredhospital
@LUCAS spot 0.611 0 473
@LUCAS faces left
@LUCAS is react_lay_shocked
@SKYLAR moves to layer -20
@SKYLAR enters from left to screen center AND SKYLAR is run_athletic_neutral_loop
@SKYLAR moves to layer -20

Thank you for anyone that helps.

Try to place SKYLAR offscreen using spot directing and move to the layer there, then enter the scene

Default walking may work or may not, but if you’re using one you need to move a character to the layer while walking

@SKYLAR enters from left to screen center AND SKYLAR is run_athletic_neutral_loop AND SKYLAR moves to layer -20

I would still use spot directing, just to be sure :slight_smile:
