Unfortunately there isn’t a way to change the way the overlay is facing. The AMBULANCE overlay was created and drawn to face forward towards the screen. You will have to find a different ambulance overlay where it faces the other direction, or ask someone to make one for you.

That just mirrors the overlay but doesn’t actually make it face towards the back.

Hi! I’m having trouble with rotating overlays.
In the scene I’m writing the soccer ball is supposed to be spinning as it moves around the screen but it does not rotate whenever I try it.
&CAM is run_athletic THEN CAM is arms_crossed_angry
&overlay SOCCER_BALL shifts to 129 306 in zone 1 in 0.5 THEN overlay SOCCER_BALL shifts to 128 205 in zone 1 in .3
&overlay SOCCER_BALL rotates 360 anchor point 0 0 in 0.5
&MATT is slap_face_receive
@MATT is faint
&overlay SOCCER_BALL shifts to 101 205 in zone 1 in 3
&overlay SOCCER_BALL rotates 360 anchor point 0 0 in 3
@REFEREE spot 0.254 100 0 in zone 1 at layer 13 AND REFEREE faces left
@REFEREE walks to spot 0.254 140 440 in 3 AND REFEREE faces right AND REFEREE is run_athletic
try changing the anchor point to 0.5 0.5 (so it’s in the middle) and maybe rotate to 180 instead of 360?
I just tried that and now the first time I rotated the soccer ball works, but the second time still doesn’t.
did you change it to another one? maybe it’s because of &, try put pause for a beat
is this guide the same for limelight?
It’s the same with every style.

Hi, this is the script for a scene I’m writing, I want the waitress to be behind the counter, but when she walks in she always appears in front and I don’t know what to do? 
INT. BAKERY - DAY with COUNTER BAKERY to 1.000 0 0
@overlay COUNTER BAKERY moves to layer 2
@WAITRESS stands screen center in zone 2 AND WAITRESS moves to layer -1
@BETH changes into Comfortable Military Jacket
@BETH enters from left to screen center AND DAISY REYNOLDS enters from left to screen left AND BETH moves to layer 4 AND DAISY REYNOLDS moves to layer 4
@BETH faces left

DAISY REYNOLDS (talk_armscrossed_neutral_loop)
You know, I got a text this morning from Bernadette Davies' mom and she said that you've certainly helped to increase Bernadette's confidence.
BETH (talk_neutral)
Well she's a good kid, she just needs to believe in herself a bit more.
DAISY REYNOLDS (talk_handsonhips_neutral)
Well its thanks to you that she's come this far already.
BETH (talk_awkward_loop)

DAISY REYNOLDS (talk_reassure_neutral)

DAISY REYNOLDS (talk_neutral)

use spot directing for waitress, for some reason characters don’t want to stay behind the overlays when you using default positions
