Hi @Dara.Amarie can you help me, please?
I am having trouble putting an overlay inside my story.
So I am making the female character blush but the overlay doesn’t appear…
Hi girls! Can someone help me?
The overlay scene doesnt work after it. (That background)
When I start another scene, it simply “skips” the scene with the overlay. It never happened, what am I doing wrong?

EXT. FLORESTA UPENDI1
(WHEN I TRY TO WRITE ANOTHER SCENE, THE OVERLAY SCENE DOESNT WORK)
You don’t have any beats for that scene. You’re using the & sign for everything, that’s why it skips the entire scene. Pause for a few seconds for that scene.

Hi girls!!! It’s me again.
I was a long time without animating overlays! Don’t do it girls hahaha I’m getting crazy here hahaha
The overlay isn’t “flying” along with the character, that keeps going straight. I’ve tried several ways, but isn’t going to the place I want. That goes straight instead of going down. I’ve tried to sort the shift and scale a thousand times. Can someone help me please? How do I get the overlay down along with the character?

Your overlay is shifting to a spot in zone 1 because you didn’t specify the zone in the shift command. Add “in zone 3” to that command

I have directed my overlay as “@overlay OVERLAYNAME opacity 0 in 2” and no matter how much time passes, it won’t entirely disappear, it’s always a little visible. It’s pretty annoying because I’m not quite sure what I’m doing wrong :’(
EDIT:
It’s almost like it gets lighter or more saturated, rather than “fading” out per say…
how do you make an overlay glow or flicker?

I need help with the overlays. I wanted to do a scene in a class where the students all sit behind each other, I’ve tried many and also read the description with DUPLICATING Same Overlay, but it does not work for me. I do not know what to do. When somone have a tip for the class scene or the overlays, then pleas answer me. I would so thankful for an answer.
&overlay DESK2 create from DESK1
You can then animate/move/opacity using its name ‘DESK2’ just like a normal overlay
(Just an name example btw)
&overlay BLUE LIGHTNING BALL opacity 0.5 in 4 THEN overlay BLUE LIGHTNING BALL opacity 1 in 2 loop # times
Replace the number of seconds with whatever you prefer
Replace # with the number of times you want this command to loop
You can also replace the # with INFINITE and it’ll constantly glow/flicker until you clear or change the opacity again.
Ps. Using the & instead of @ when looping or the script with pause until it has finished.
Thank you so much, I will try it

Should’ve mentioned you do need the overlay uploaded to your portal if you haven’t already 
If you need the overlay to be created, send me the background via PM I’ll do it for you

The overlays are not duplicating
These 2 commands need to go after the background name.

It still does not work
You can’t add duplicated overlays next to the background. You can only use the create command with duplicated overlays which means you need to use the opacity, scales, and shifts command with the zone number in the shift command.
