before I’ll say something here’s my script:
music music_danger
@TOD changes into TOD_UNDERWEAR
@QUEENIE changes into QUEENIE_default
@CANDELA moves to layer 3 and FIONA moves to layer 4
INT. HOTEL LOBBY MARBLE - DAY
@cut to zone 3
@CANDELA spot 0.923 147 303 and CANDELA faces left and CANDELA is film_phone_neutral_loop
@pause for 1.5
@pan to zone 2
&QUEENIE spot 1.697 135 -237 in zone 2 at layer 1 and QUEENIE faces right and QUEENIE is kiss_makeout_loop
&TOD spot 1.697 252 -231 in zone 2 at layer 2 and TOD faces right and TOD is kiss_makeout_loop_rear
@pause for 0.5

@pan to zone 2
@QUEENIE starts kiss_makeout_stop and TOD starts kiss_makeout_stop_rear
TOD (talk_handsonhips_neutral_rear)
This is my wife, you have to go.
QUEENIE (talk_greet_shy)
Bye
@QUEENIE exits right then FIONA enters from left to spot 1.697 73 -237 and TOD faces left
TOD (talk_greet_neutral)
Hey Carol, my love…
FIONA (talk_handsonhips_neutral_loop)
Hey Tod, look uh… before we started dating you told me you wanted to do a tattoo…
@FIONA is idle_handsonhips_neutral_loop
TOD (talk_afraid)
What is a tattoo?
FIONA (talk_flirt_coy)
Yeah, tattoo… with my name…
TOD (talk_unsure)
What??
FIONA (talk_flirt_coy)
Yes, on your chest…
TOD (talk_confused_mindblown)
What are you talking about, Carol? I never did any tattoo on my body …
FIONA (talk_argue_angry)
Of course Tod… or should I say… Rod?
TOD (talk_afraid)
How do you know my real name?
FIONA (talk_angry)
Just as I know that the real Tod’ll never betray me.
TOD (talk_exhausted)
Damn…
@FIONA moves to layer 1 and TOD moves to layer 2
@TOD starts punch_fight_give_angry_loop and FIONA is punch_fight_receive_angry_loop
@pause for 0.5
@FIONA starts faint then TOD exits right and TOD does it while run_athletic_neutral_loop
@pause for 0.5
@FIONA spot 1.697 -326 136
@overlay A PUDDLE OF BLOOD moves to layer 0
@overlay A PUDDLE OF BLOOD create
@overlay 6139788464488448_A PUDDLE OF BLOOD shifts to 188 375
@overlay 6139788464488448_A PUDDLE OF BLOOD scales to 1.814 1.814

now,
I can’t make them see the puddle of blood,
Is overlay is there but I can’t see it and I can’t put it under a girl named Fiona …
I would be happy to get help what to do?

Here’s an example code on how to use overlays:

@overlay PUDDLE OF BLOOD create
@overlay PUDDLE OF BLOOD shifts to 166 123 in zone #
@overlay PUDDLE OF BLOOD scales to 0.772 0.772 in zone #
@overlay PUDDLE OF BLOOD opacity 1

And I think Rune already told you which part you’re missing. :slight_smile:

Ok great,
Now I see the overlay,
but not so good
the script now like this:
@FIONA spot 1.697 -326 136
@overlay A PUDDLE OF BLOOD moves to layer 0 and FIONA moves to layer 1
@overlay A PUDDLE OF BLOOD create
@overlay 6139788464488448_A PUDDLE OF BLOOD shifts to -122 -151 in zone 2
@overlay 6139788464488448_A PUDDLE OF BLOOD scales to 0.662 0.662 in zone 2
@overlay A PUDDLE OF BLOOD opacity 1 in 0

But what happens is that the overlay of the blood before the character and I want it to be behind the character…

Nevermind I put
@overlay A PUDDLE OF BLOOD moves to layer 0 and FIONA moves to layer 1
in the end and this is perfect!
