How do you change layers for props?

The prop my character is holding is appearing BEHIND my character. How do you fix this?

u need to layer your character to be in front. send your script code.

unless its a overlay that u are using, :thinking:

Yes, I’m using an overlay in the scene as well

your overlay and character have to layer each other, so do u want the overlay to be in front or back with the character and the prop?

EXT. OUTDOOR RESTAURANT OL - NIGHT with TABLE FANCY
@cut to zone 2
@overlay TABLE FANCY shifts to 68 -6 in zone 2
@overlay TABLE FANCY scales to 1.000 1.000 in zone 2

So I have an overlay of a table that I want to be in front of the character holding the prop.

hm…try it.

But that makes the character appear in front of the table. The prop is still behind the character also.

It’s a bit hard to tell where the prop is, but it’s that weird blue thing sticking out of the character, lol

@JESS moves to layer 0

No sorry, it’s still not working :frowning:

is the character still in front of the table?

Can you change the layer of the actual prop? Idk if that’s a thing

yes

i dont think u can change layering of props. Only overlays and characters u can.

hang on, Im still thinking its the number of the layer.

ok coolios, thanks :+1:
