I need help with overlays ///

[epi_girl]

so this is my script but when i press on the overlay you can kind of see the other overlays kind of glitch as in like they moving out of the screen in like a split second the only one that doesnt glitch is the darkskin overlay

[Tinyxoxo]

Maybe try to exit out then going back in sometime the writers portal will glitch when you preview.

Try putting everything with a & on the same line using AND instead.

[epi_girl]

it’s been happening like on going cux i previews of millions of times on my phont and it doesn’t the same thing

[epi_girl]

where should i use the and?

[anon6748744]

Wherever you are currently using &, just on the same line. ie. This:

&overlay DARK shifts to 0 0 in zone 1 in 0
&overlay DARK moves to layer 2
&overlay DARK scales to 1 1 in 0

Would become this:

&overlay DARK shifts to 0 0 in zone 1 in 0 AND overlay DARK moves to layer 2 AND overlay DARK scales to 1 1 in 0

[epi_girl]

it still does the glitchy thing T.T

[anon6748744]

Can you post your updated script?

[epi_girl]

of course

[anon6748744]

Try also moving your “clears” onto the line with all of the ANDs!

[epi_girl]

still glitches T.T its really odd idk why its doing that

[epi_girl]

I would suggest putting your label skincolour under the overlay creation - just above the narrator which is above the tappable choice.

I don’t see where you have this label but it seems it is above the overlay creation so every time the reader returns back it recreates all the already existing overlays

Also use & for all commands including the character moving to layer

[epi_girl]

okay thank u !!!

[Farah_DeSantis]

also if you move your label as I sugested use overlay opacity turning to 0 intead of clear the overlay (so there will be no need for recreating it - and make all overlays opacity 1 under the label (using &). in case you want to make the overlay invisivle - but since it hapens on 0 and the reader than is brounght to next part of story (where you I guess clear all the remaining overlays since he already made a choice) I cant figure out why you actually have it here …the same goes for the no choice

I am not really sure why you have the clear command there too tbh - is it really necessary in this place?

Cant you just delete all the overlays after the choice instead if inside it?

[epi_girl]

im new to this overlay stuff and its kind of confusing im ngl LOL but i will do this so thank u !!!

[Farah_DeSantis]
