How do I make an overlay become a background?

[MenaalHassan]

Basically, I want to make the camera follow my character down a street while she is thinking to herself.
I want to use the background EXT. OUTDOOR STREET LOOP - DAY with effect HARD SNOW and my character is called @SYMPHORA
I already know how to make the background move, but when I tried it the overlay was too small and I couldn’t make it as big as the background.

Can someone help please?

So the overlay is effect hard snow ? or its a weather effect?

[MenaalHassan]

The overlay is effect hard snow, but my issue is that I want the whole background to move, as she walks.

[Sefarii]

Yes but it’s a overlay that you upload or a weather effect already on episode?

[MenaalHassan]

No basically just ignore the weather effect. The overlay I’m talking about is the actual background. i made the background the overlay but it was too small and only filled half the screen.

This was my coding:
EXT. BLUE - DAY with STREET to 1.625 0 0 in zone 1 at layer -5
&overlay STREET_2 create from STREET and overlay STREET_2 opacity 1 in 0
&overlay STREET_2 scales to 1.625 1.625 in 0 and overlay STREET_2 shifts to 0 0 in zone 2 in 0 and overlay STREET_2 to layer -6
&overlay STREET shifts to -640 0 in 10 THEN overlay STREET shifts to -960 0 in 5 THEN overlay STREET shifts to 0 0 in zone 2 in 0 THEN overlay STREET shifts to 0 0 in zone 2 in 10 THEN overlay STREET shifts to 0 0 in 5 THEN overlay STREET shifts to 0 0 in 0 loop INFINITE times
&overlay STREET_2 shifts to 0 0 in zone 2 in 10 THEN overlay STREET_2 shifts to 0 0 in 5 THEN overlay STREET_2 shifts to 0 0 in 0 THEN overlay STREET_2 shifts to -640 0 in 10 THEN overlay STREET_2 shifts to -960 0 in 5 THEN overlay STREET_2 shifts to 0 0 in zone 2 in 0 loop INFINITE times
@follow SYMPHORA to screen right in zone 3 in 30 AND SYMPHORA does it while walk_worried_loop

Sorry, I know it’s a bit complicated,.

Dara here has that bg already with the right dimensions and as png!

DARA’S TEMPLATE: Looping a 3-zone Background with Speeds

Please visit my website for more templates and guides! https://www.dara-amarie.com/ Finding ways to loop your own background gets pretty complicated and frustrating. I know some of you have already found a “way” to loop backgrounds by using the &overlay OL shifts to — in T THEN overlay OL shifts to — in 0 loop INFINITE times code, but the thing with using that coding is that the background doesn’t really loop around smoothly. It makes the image just go back to the first spot which looks a bit…

Thank you for the link, I really appreciate you both helping me out.

However, Dara’s code IS the code I was using, but it wasn’t working as the overlay doesn’t fill the screen. The loop works though, I just want the overlay to fill the screen so that it looks like a background.
