How to loop overlays:

LOOPING Overlays:

Add “loop # times” or “loop INFINITE times” at the end of the line

You have to use THEN to combine all your animations together on just 1 line, then place the loop at the end. You cannot use “AND” for a looping command.

Here is an example of that:

&overlay OVERLAYNAME shifts to [a spot to the left] in zone 2 in 1 THEN overlay OVERLAYNAME shifts to [a spot to the right] in zone 2 in 1 loop 5 times

With the above example, the overlay will move to the left, then to the right, and it will continue to do that 5 times.

NOTE: Remember to use & not @ when using “infinite”, otherwise your scene will be stuck on the loop and you won’t be able to continue.
