How to make to black overlays look like the character blinks?

[mandisen001]

I already have two black overlays but how to write the code so they close slowly and then open “reapet”

[Martini_98]

You code it like this:

@overlay OVERLAY shifts to x y in t

Then in the web previewer you need to find the right position for the overlays. For that clock on ‘Show Helpers’ → ‘Spot Directing’ → ‘change overlay’

Then you can just copy the code from under the previewer.

Here’s a nice tutorial on how to direct overlays if you’re unfamiliar with them:
