I tried Joseph Evens tutorial and it didn’t help and I tried Dara’s thread. I asked her and she never got back to me and no one got back to me on the thread. I’m so confused.
Did you share the code on her thread showing what error was occurring? If you share a screenshot it helps a lot otherwise it is difficult to help, can share it here ![]()
I’ll try that, but it’s not an error it works but if doesn’t work right the second background stays there and then the first moves all the at the top of the screen and it’s small
According to the guide “The coding I use to loop backgrounds uses 3-zone backgrounds only, and the overlay image size must be 1183 (width) x 700 (length) in order for the templates down below to work correctly.”
If you share a ss it would help so we can see the overlay names.
Im sorry for the late reply i got busy and ok I’ll show you my script
The back grounds doesn’t move but the character does and it’s small when i try to move or rescale it, it just messes up.!!! and no one is helping me understand the coding 
Most of the time you have to make the background as an overlay and loop the overlay (that’s how I do it anyway)
it’s is an overlay, but that’s the thing idk how to loop it
I think it’s because you’ve created the overlay and you’ve only placed it in one place, you need to drag the overlay to the other side and copy the shift again If that makes sense?
Sorry I’m kinda bad at explaining things😂
i’ll try that, that’s the template Dara gave and it don’t make sense
code to loop is:
@overlay OVERLAYNAME shifts to x y in t THEN overlay OVERLAYNAME shifts to x y in t loop infinite times
Okay i’m going to try it and see how it works
it’s working but it’s going side to side not looping
#From your code I see you placed the overlays but didn’t pick a looping speed code to use. Here’s one of the speeds:
&overlay LOOP_OVERLAY shifts to -640 0 in 3 THEN overlay LOOP_OVERLAY shifts to -960 0 in 1.5 THEN overlay LOOP_OVERLAY shifts to 0 0 in zone 2 in 0 THEN overlay LOOP_OVERLAY shifts to 0 0 in zone 2 in 3 THEN overlay LOOP_OVERLAY shifts to 0 0 in 1.5 THEN overlay LOOP_OVERLAY shifts to 0 0 in 0 loop INFINITE times
&overlay LOOP_OVERLAY_2 shifts to 0 0 in zone 2 in 3 THEN overlay LOOP_OVERLAY_2 shifts to 0 0 in 1.5 THEN overlay LOOP_OVERLAY_2 shifts to 0 0 in 0 THEN overlay LOOP_OVERLAY_2 shifts to -640 0 in 3 THEN overlay LOOP_OVERLAY_2 shifts to -960 0 in 1.5 THEN overlay LOOP_OVERLAY_2 shifts to 0 0 in zone 2 in 0 loop INFINITE times
#make these changes:
Change LOOP_OVERLAY to STREET LIGHTS
Change LOOP_OVERLAY_2 to STREET LIGHTS 2
Okay i’ll try this thank you
I think i just might give up cause theres something im doing wrong and i don’t understand what it is
EXT. BLUE - DAY with STREET LIGHTS to 1.625 0 0 in zone 1 at layer -5
&overlay STREET LIGHTS_2 create from STREET LIGHTS and overlay STREET LIGHTS_2 opacity 1 in 0
&overlay STREET LIGHTS_2 scales to 1.625 1.625 in 0 and overlay STREET LIGHTS_2 shifts to 0 0 in zone 2 in 0 and overlay STREET LIGHTS_2 to layer -6
&zoom reset
&overlay STREET LIGHTS shifts to -640 0 in 3 THEN overlay STREET LIGHTS shifts to -960 0 in 1.5 THEN overlay STREET LIGHTS shifts to 0 0 in zone 2 in 0 THEN overlay STREET LIGHTS shifts to 0 0 in zone 2 in 3 THEN overlay STREET LIGHTS shifts to 0 0 in 1.5 THEN overlay STREET LIGHTS shifts to 0 0 in 0 loop INFINITE times
&overlay STREET LIGHTS_2 shifts to 0 0 in zone 2 in 3 THEN overlay STREET LIGHTS_2 shifts to 0 0 in 1.5 THEN overlay STREET LIGHTS_2 shifts to 0 0 in 0 THEN overlay STREET LIGHTS_2 shifts to -640 0 in 3 THEN overlay STREET LIGHTS_2 shifts to -960 0 in 1.5 THEN overlay STREET LIGHTS_2 shifts to 0 0 in zone 2 in 0 loop INFINITE times

Jen explains it quite well in her post.^
