How do overlays work?

Hey babes!! Okay so I’ve been trying to add an overlay and when I thought I did everything right, when I went to preview it the overlay was coming up as nothing (like it was clear) and it’s not the opacity because that is at 100% so i’m really confused. If anyone needs the little part of the script I can put it

@YARISSA spot 1.280 115 21 in zone 1
&overlay BAR COUNTER opacity 100%
&overlay BAR COUNTER moves to layer 5
&overlay BAR COUNTER scales to 2.792 2.792
&overlay BAR COUNTER shifts to -1 -1 in zone 1
@overlay BAR COUNTER create

It’s supposed to be ‘opacity 1’. Plus the order’s inverted. It’s supposed to start with the create command then end with the opacity command.

You have to put the create command before the other ones.

The opacity is not in %. To have it solid, you need to put it as opacity 1. :sweat_smile:

thats why the others are in &overlay instead of @overlay but even when I fixed the opacity thing, it still doesn’t show up

So simply remove the & and add an @, so that it’s like this:

@overlay BAR COUNTER create
@overlay BAR COUNTER shifts to -1-1 in zone 1
@overlay BAR COUNTER scales to 2.792 2.792
@overlay BAR COUNTER moves to layer 5
@overlay BAR COUNTER opacity 1

okayy thank you so much :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

You can leave the ‘&’ just have the create command before scaling, shifting and opacity :slight_smile:
PS. for others: You can specify opacity with percentage :+1:

No problem! :kissing_heart:
