Could someone please check my script

Hi!
So I wanted a couple of different things to happen at the same time but I suck at placing the “&” sign at appropriate places and of course I couldn’t get the effect I wanted.
Could someone please check my script and help me out with the errors please?

@cut to zone 1

&overlay OVERLAY create
@overlay OVERLAY opacity 1 in 0

&overlay OVERLAY shifts to -135 39 in zone 1
@overlay OVERLAY scales to 0.928 0.928
@overlay OVERLAY moves to layer 4

@cut to zone 1

&CHARACTER spot 1.298 37 -40 in zone 1
@CHARACTER moves to layer 3

&CHARACTER starts animation

CHARACTER (animation)
Dialogue

&zoom on 0 496 to 191% in 6

Do you want the zoom with the dialogue and do you want the overlays and character to already be in the scene?

Yes! That is what I intend on doing but of course I have failed miserably :cry:

Try this:
INT. BATHROOM with effect RAIN with OVERLAY to 0.928 -135 39 in zone 1 at layer 4
&CHARACTER spot 1.298 37 -40 in zone 1 at layer 3
&zoom on 0 496 to 191% in 6

And don’t forget to replace CHARACTER with your character’s name and OVERLAY with your overlay name!

It seems like I cannot add another overlay on the same line with rain effect :slightly_frowning_face:

So I put the overlay command at a new line and worked up the spot and did what you advised and it worked!!
FINALLY!! :sob:
Thank you so much!!
