Does anyone know how to loop a gif?

[Sunset_Shimmer]

So, I found a .gif that I wanted to use in my story. It has 24 frames and I followed the instructions on this post and uploaded them all into the portal:

Animated gif in episode

Do you happen to know how to make it loop? I’m trying to make it look like my wolf overlays are animated; the wolf is just sitting idly in the scene, but I’d like him to move slightly so it’s more realistic. I’ve successfully done so, but after one time going through the animation, that’s it and he remains still. For whatever reason, it will not let me use the command “loop infinite times.” Any suggestions?

It works! But, it only repeats itself that one time. Is there anyway to keep it going infinitely? I know there’s a &loop INFINITE times command but how would I use it in this case?

This is what it’s supposed to look like:

And no, I didn’t actually name them after “a tit” or someone’s boobs lol. It’s the abbreviation for my story title.

You can divide your script into labels and gotos. But then your story will completely freeze, as the gif will go on forever and never stop. However you can loop it like this:

&overlay ATIT 1 x y THEN &overlay ATIT 1 opacity 0 THEN overlay ATIT 2 opacity 1 etc.

@Dara.Amarie has amazing guides for Episode, that I wish I knew when I was learning to code Episode. (I ended up learning all of coding by myself by the way )

Thanks @Zeah! I was able to figure it out and it loops perfectly.
I was able to understand most of the coding because of this thread. Specifically because of what @HappyDaisy wrote :

You’re missing a overlay! &overlay FIRE1 opacity 1 in 0 THEN overlay FIRE1 opacity 1 in 0.1 THEN overlay FIRE1 opacity 0 in 0 THEN overlay FIRE2 opacity 1 in 0 THEN overlay FIRE2 opacity 1 in 0.1 THEN overlay FIRE2 opacity 0 in 0 THEN overlay FIRE3 opacity 1 in 0 THEN overlay FIRE3 opacity 1 in 0.1 THEN opacity FIRE3 opacity 0 in 0 loop INFINITE times <— one overlay missing and one opacity to much. Ps: Sorry, that was my misstake. As I said my computer was lagging. Even crashed soon after…

Here's my script in case anyone else is struggling.

The background doesn’t matter. It can be completely random.

Yay! I’m glad you figured it out!

[HappyDaisy]

Whoa, that was a long time ago
Glad it helped you.

[Sunset_Shimmer]

LMAO! I wasn’t sure if people would interpret it exactly how I wrote it and think “Why would she name the overlays after A TIT?”
