How to make multiple overlays move at the same time?

[Aims1141]

Hey there! How do you make two overlays move at the same time? Here’s my script:

EXT. ABBEY GARDEN - DAY with SPIN.DISK with CUP.CAKE

@zoom reset

@overlay CUP.CAKE moves to layer 4
@overlay SPIN.DISK moves to layer -3

     @overlay SPIN.DISK shifts to 152 273 in zone 1 in 0

@overlay SPIN.DISK rotates 360 anchor point 0.5 0.5 in 0.5
&overlay SPIN.DISK rotates 360 anchor point 0.5 0.5 in 0.5 loop infinite times

&overlay 6593288886550528_CUP.CAKE shifts to 6 162 in 0
@overlay 6593288886550528_CUP.CAKE scales to 3.610 3.610 in 0

&overlay 6593288886550528_CUP.CAKE shifts to 50 210 in 0
@overlay 6593288886550528_CUP.CAKE scales to 1.972 1.972 in 2

@overlay SPIN.DISK rotates 360 anchor point 0.5 0.5 in 0.5 and amp;overlay SPIN.DISK rotates 360 anchor point 0.5 0.5 in 0.5 loop infinite times

That should do it!
(But I’m still learning about overlays as well.)

[Aims1141]

Ah! Sorry but I meant all of the code below to happen at the same time! Sorry again!

@Aims1141

@overlay SPIN.DISK rotates 360 anchor point 0.5 0.5 in 0.5
&overlay SPIN.DISK rotates 360 anchor point 0.5 0.5 in 0.5 loop infinite times

&overlay 6593288886550528_CUP.CAKE shifts to 6 162 in 0
@overlay 6593288886550528_CUP.CAKE scales to 3.610 3.610 in 0

&overlay 6593288886550528_CUP.CAKE shifts to 50 210 in 0
@overlay 6593288886550528_CUP.CAKE scales to 1.972 1.972 in 2

[ThatTurtleLov3r]

Ah, gotcha.

@overlay SPIN.DISK rotates 360 anchor point 0.5 0.5 in 0.5 and amp;overlay SPIN.DISK rotates 360 anchor point 0.5 0.5 in 0.5 loop infinite times and overlay 6593288886550528_CUP.CAKE scales to 3.610 3.610 in 0 and amp;overlay 6593288886550528_CUP.CAKE shifts to 50 210 in 0 and overlay 6593288886550528_CUP.CAKE scales to 1.972 1.972 in 2

[Aims1141]

Before I try it, what does this mean lol

@ThatTurtleLov3r

amp;overlay

[ThatTurtleLov3r]

Lol I’m not sure, it was there when I copy/pasted it.

DARA’S GUIDE: Overlays

Please visit my website for more templates and guides! https://www.dara-amarie.com/ ​ OVERLAYNAME is the overlay name x coordinate is where the overlay is placed on the screen horizontally (side to side) y coordinate is where the overlay is placed on the screen vertically (up and down) % is the scale size T stands for time in seconds # means “number” ​ NOTE: When you test your story and move your overlay around, you will see 2 codes that look something like this (examples): @overlay O…

[Aims1141]

Should I include it or leave it lol

[ThatTurtleLov3r]

I’d leave it out lol

[MystikLunaa]

use & ( ampersand sign)

[MystikLunaa]

.

@Dara.Amarie

COMBINING Overlay Animations:

1. Use the ampersand sign! &

&overlay OVERLAYNAME shifts to ---------
&overlay OVERLAYNAME scales to ---------
&overlay OVERLAYNAME rotates ---------
@overlay OVERLAYNAME opacity ---------
or
&overlay OVERLAYNAME shifts to ---------
@CHARACTER walks to ----------

2. Or you can use the word “AND” on the same line.

@overlay OVERLAYNAME shifts to ----- AND overlay OVERLAYNAME scales to -----

[Aims1141]

Ahhh, okay! I’ll try both out now! @ThatTurtleLov3r

[ThatTurtleLov3r]

Okay lol

[Aims1141]

Ahh thank you both so muchh! It works nowww! @ThatTurtleLov3r @MystikLunaa

[ThatTurtleLov3r]

Glad to help lol

@Aims1141

@overlay SPIN.DISK rotates 360 anchor point 0.5 0.5 in 0.5
&overlay SPIN.DISK rotates 360 anchor point 0.5 0.5 in 0.5 loop infinite times

&overlay SPIN.DISK rotates 360 anchor point 0.5 0.5 in 0.5
@overlay SPIN.DISK rotates 360 anchor point 0.5 0.5 in 0.5 loop infinite times

That should work

[Aims1141]

Thank you!

[Ams007]

Happy to help, just realised someone else bet me to it

[Aims1141]

I still appreciate the help!
