What’s that code where you get to drag the screen and your view pans around.It is in Epi fan com. because it is not a script error, just a liability to my story

Section #3: Pannable overlays
Pannable overlays are more advanced, but still relatively simple to figure out. Here is a basic code:
( note: all of the overlays and backgrounds are still from Episode themselves – so there will be no errors or approval necessary to use in a script )
EXT. CAMPUS GARDEN - DAY with FANCY TOTE POMERANIAN BROWN TAN with FANCY TOTE CHIHUAHUA BROWN TAN with FANCY TOTE TERRIER BROWN BLACK
@overlay FANCY TOTE POMERANIAN BROWN TAN shifts to 66 129 in zone 1
@overlay FANCY TOTE POMERANIAN BROWN TAN scales to 0.928 0.928 in zone 1
@overlay FANCY TOTE CHIHUAHUA BROWN TAN shifts to 66 129 in zone 2
@overlay FANCY TOTE CHIHUAHUA BROWN TAN scales to 0.928 0.928 in zone 2
@overlay FANCY TOTE TERRIER BROWN BLACK shifts to 66 129 in zone 3
@overlay FANCY TOTE TERRIER BROWN BLACK scales to 0.928 0.928 in zone 3
tappable [pan:1:3]
“FANCY TOTE POMERANIAN BROWN TAN” {
NARRATOR
You chose a pomeranian!
} “FANCY TOTE CHIHUAHUA BROWN TAN” {
NARRATOR
You chose a chihuahua!
} “FANCY TOTE TERRIER BROWN BLACK” {
NARRATOR
You chose a terrier!
}
This works almost the exact same as the code used in section #2 . Only, instead of adding just “tappable” before the rest of the code, you type, “tappable [pan:1:3]”. Keep in mind, that the “3” represents the max amount of zones the reader will be able to drag around the screen – and the “1” represents the minimum.
Please ignore all of the @overlay commands I used at the beginning of both of these templates – I was just placing the overlays in order to make the scene more professional and easier to tap on the overlays.
However, say you only want to let the reader drag horizontally or only vertically. Here is the code you would use before the choices:
Vertical:
tappable [pan:1:3:ver] “OVERLAY” {
}
Horizontal:
tappable [pan:1:3:hor] “OVERLAY” {
}
Can read more on tappable overlays here: A Basic Guide to Tappable Overlays
I believe this is what you mean. Also, this topic should be in Directing Help & Tips in Creator’s Corner
