Help with overlays in a scene

So I use tappable at the beginning of my story in every episode so I know how to use them. But I need help with a scene with many overlays and two tappable choices. I will post the scene below and if you can help me out I can send you the background and overlays If you like to help me get it to look right. I have overlays that don’t go away when I need them to and I just need help with that.
INT. POOJA.EPISODE PINK - DAY with CALLS to 1.000 -81 101 in zone 1 with DONE FOR PHONE to 1.000 -13 -133 in zone 1 with MISSED CALLS with TEXT to 0.820 -63 22 in zone 1 with BY LOVEMYDOGS52 to 0.928 40 196 in zone 1 with TEXT 1 with TEXT 2 with TEXT 3
&zoom reset
&overlay MISSED CALLS opacity 0 AND overlay TEXT 1 opacity 0 AND overlay TEXT 2 opacity 0 AND overlay TEXT 3 opacity 0
&overlay BY LOVEMYDOGS52 moves to layer -3
readerMessage click done down at the bottom once you have clicked both choices.
label calls_missedandtext
tappable
“MISSED CALLS” {
@overlay DONE FOR PHONE opacity 0 AND overlay CALLS opacity 0 AND overlay TEXT opacity 0
@overlay MISSED CALLS opacity 1
@pause for a beat
NARRATOR (SARABETH)
How did I sleep through 5 missed calls from Anna?
Better check my messages and see if she messaged me.
goto calls_missedandtext
}
“TEXT” {
@overlay MISSED CALLS opacity 0
@overlay TEXT 1 opacity 1 AND overlay TEXT 2 opacity 1 AND overlay TEXT 3 opacity 1
@pause for 4
NARRATOR (SARABETH)
Oh…
goto calls_missedandtext
}

This overlay needs to stay in the back behind all the other ones at all times. It does not leave. &overlay BY LOVEMYDOGS52 moves to layer -3

Here’s a screenshot of why I need help :weary:

I can test it just from looking I unfortunatelly have problem to identyfy which overlay is which

Okay I got it to work but now when I click 5 missed calls the text overlay comes up instead.

I can’t get it to bring up the right tappable choice so that I can spot the overlays where I need them with in the choices. Every time I click 5 missed calls it go to messages. I can send you all the overlays with names and the background.

yeah please do it hope I will be a le to help you. :joy_cat:

if you cant click the right tappable - check if they do not overlap.

This is the background for all of this.


This is overlay BY LOVEMYDOGS52 which should always be in the background for the hole scene.

The text overlays I want to all show up at once one below the other because its all missed from the night before.

lol it seems to me you gived me some smaller overlays than you use.
haven’t you downloaded just the preview picture instead of the overlay itself?

Maybe because I copyed and pasted let me resend them

you have to open the overlays firt and then upload

lol - now the sky overlay is jpg and not png - and the other still seem really small. :slight_smile:

Idk they come up fine for me and I have them all dowloaded in my art catalog and I saved as before sending this time not copy and past.

but from what I see -set the tappable overlays at layers (you havent layered them)
and put them above all other overlays so you are sure no other overlay is above them.

Yes when I start I can see the overlays just fine and I click on the 5 missed calls overlay and it goes to the text instead.

does your text overlay has empty space around (transparent)? When you use the spot directing helper - clik change overlays till you will select the TEXT overlay.

You will see the rectangle around it…isnt it overlaping the otther tappable overlay?

Okay there overlapping…How do I fix that? The thing tacks up the whole screen the box for it so no matter where I move it they are.

that is the reason - you have to cut all the transparent space out so it will not overlap …

or if the other is smaller simply set the other on higher layer then the first one - but if both have thid empty space and overlap each other than you must simply cut out all the transparent space and reupload them…sctipt understand every overlay as that rectangle it doesnt cases if something is transparent - so you need two smal rectangles not overlaping.

Okay so in my app that I make them in I just need to make it smaller so that way they don’t touch?
Thank you so much :slight_smile:

in general yes you need the overlay smaller to not be over the other one- just cut all the transparent space you actually do not need
