I want to make a “devil” character appear in mist to make the action more interesting but I don’t know how to do it. Please help! :tired_face: :confounded: Thank you!

Do you want an actual character to appear or an overlay like your title says? Not really sure what you want.

The actual overlay. Sorry for not being clear! :confused:

So you could create it
&overlay OVERLAYNAME create
&overlay OVERLAYNAME scales to 100 100 in zone x in t
&overlay OVERLAYNAME shifts to 1 1 in t
@overlay OVERLAYNAME opacity 0 in t

And just make sure you set the opacity to 0 when you create it and then when you want it to appear go
@overlay OVERLAYNAME opacity 1 in t

opacity can be anywhere from 0 to 1, 1 would be completely able to see and 0 is completely see through

Thank you sooooo much!!! :grin:
