You need to layer the overlay. And since you want the overlay to already be on the scene it would be a lot easier to add the overlay to the background name.
INT. SUMMER COFFEEHOUSE - DAY with BONFIRE to 1.137 -55 154 at layer 2
You also need to layer the waitress to a layer lower than the overlay.
Also, using “enters from” sets the character at a default layer. You’ll have to place your character offscreen at layer 4 first then have her walk to that spot.
Thank you so much
I’m trying to make a “Chance Choice”
Where if you tap on the choice you have a chance to get 6 grapes or 4 or something like that.
My script:
label keep_finding_food
LILY LOLA
I need to find Food.
choice “Find Food” {
LILY LOLA (talk_think_neutral)
Where should I look?
choice “Check Ground.” {
@LILY LOLA is reach_kneel_neutral
@LILY LOLA is tinker_kneel_neutral_loop
@LILY LOLA is tinker_kneel_neutral_loop
@LILY LOLA is standup_neutral
@LILY LOLA is tinker_stand_neutral_loop_rear
@LILY LOLA is tinker_stand_neutral_loop_rear
@LILY LOLA is tinker_stand_neutral_loop_rear
gain check_ground
if (check_ground) {
LILY LOLA
OK...
@LILY LOLA faces left
@LILY LOLA is reach_kneel_neutral
NARRATOR
You gained 6 Grapes!
@LILY LOLA +6
goto Food
} elif (check_ground) {
NARRATOR
You gained 10 Grapes!
@LILY LOLA +10
goto Food
} else {
continue
}} “Check bush.” {
@LILY LOLA faces right
@LILY LOLA is reach_kneel_neutral_rear

@LILY LOLA is tinker_stand_neutral_loop_rear
@LILY LOLA is talk_think_neutral
if (check_bush) {
LILY LOLA
OK.. Good
NARRATOR
You gained at least, 21 Raspberries!
@LILY LOLA +21
goto Food

NARRATOR
You gained at least, 87 Raspberries!!!!
@LILY LOLA +87

LILY LOLA
OK... Great!
@LILY LOLA walks to spot 1.280 172 -6

You gained at least 7 Oranges!

Are you done?

No, I need to go and try to find more.
LILY LOLA (idle_wounded_sad_loop)
This isn't Enough food to last a week.
LILY LOLA (sigh_disappointed)
I still need more food.
LILY LOLA (stretch_pregnant_painful)
Ugh...
goto Food

LILY LOLA (stretch_pregnant_painful)

}}} “Go, Hunting” {
LILY LOLA (sing_fail_embarrassed)
But,
LILY LOLA (react_startled_embarrassed)
I don't have any hunting equipment.
goto Food
}
I want to make it the way that if the reader picks the same choice over again, they may get a different response than what they had before.
To do what you’re trying to do, you will need to use the points system. You cannot gain a flag twice. A flag can only be gained just once.
Hey I am trying to use the EXT. SOCCER FIELD - DAY background, which is super long, and obviously has more than 5 zones, but the script won’t let me go to the zones on the right, past zone 5. Help!
Remove line 630. A choice option needs to be on the same line as an end bracket or on the very next line.
I can try
Unfortunately the script only allows you to pan up to 5 zones. There isn’t really anything to do about it.
You were just suppose to delete the line, not the bracket. It should look like this:
} “Nope I don’t” {
You also need the word choice before the “yes I do” option
Oh ok… will try, thx.
IT WORKED yaas
(I forgot to reply 
)
Thank you so much! It sure worked for me 
This is the line that I used: @zoom on 1500 0 to 114% in 0
Once again, thanks 
Is there any possible way to create a blur overlay? An overlay that I can use to fade in and blur the background behind a character? Or do I have to make a completely different background?
Thank you! 
You’ll have to make a new background, or you can upload the blurred background as an overlay (just the 1 zone) and have it “fade” in
Okay. Thank you so much! 
Just remove the last option so that it’s only 2 options.
