But what does work is if you clear the overlay then immediately create and place the overlay again and have it rotate it works
So like:
&overlay PURPLE BOUNCY BALL rotates 360 anchor point 0.5 0.5 in 0.25 THEN overlay PURPLE BOUNCY BALL clear THEN overlay PURPLE BOUNCY BALL create THEN overlay PURPLE BOUNCY BALL shifts to x y in zone # and overlay PURPLE BOUNCY BALL scales to # # and overlay PURPLE BOUNCY BALL opacity 1 THEN overlay PURPLE BOUNCY BALL rotates 360 anchor point 0.5 0.5 in 0.25 loop 5 times
