I cant see my overlay

[Romain]

Can someone please tell me why my overlay wont show?

[Romain]

actually i fixed that part the real issue is the panning
My overlay wont pan or it wont allow me to pan

Your overlay can’t pan, only you can pan the screen to a certain zone. Showing your code will help us solve your issue.

the only way to “pan” and over lay is to move it be even then it can come up vary splotchy and laggy looking

no i want the individual to pan across the screen

[Romain]

its a dara code and practically I want the reader to pan the screen

First of all, remove the tappables and make sure your overlays show (which is a simple task). Then you can add the tappble[pan:1:2] back in.

I personally always do

@overlay create
@overlay opacity 1

to initiate the overlay, then I direct it into place. It’s much more clear than BACKGROUND with overlay

[Romain]

if i remove the tappable its going to say something about a scene change
Making an overlay show is really a simple task no need to indicate

[EccleSiaste_BookPage]

Yeah, well, making the screen pannable is a really simple task too, yet we’re here…

Anyways, everything you put in the tappable “PAN_ME_CLOSED…” shouldn’t be there.
You can’t create a new scene or a choice within choice. It’s impossible.

Instead, you work with labels and goto’s, but since your tappable here is practically a ‘confirm’ button, you won’t need any code between the brackets at all.
All you need to do is move everything inside the brackets to after the brackets;

tappable
"CLOSEDFILE" { }

@transition ..

INT. BLACK
@overlay OPENFILE create
@overlay OPENFILE opacity 1

tappable [pan:1:2]
"OPENFILE"{ }

PS. Don’t use the background INT. BLACK, it’s a really small background that makes it hard to use overlays within said scene. If you really want to use an all-black background, upload one of your own.
