I need layering help

it’s not working

INT. INTERROGATION ROOM with INTERROGATION TABLE with CHAIR BACK

&overlay 6746615591534592_CHAIR BACK shifts to 3 3
&overlay 6746615591534592_CHAIR BACK scales to 1.124 1.124
&overlay 6746615591534592_INTERROGATION TABLE shifts to -320 -4 in zone 2
&overlay 6746615591534592_INTERROGATION TABLE scales to 1.139 1.139
&overlay INTERROGATION TABLE moves to layer 3
&overlay CHAIR BACK moves to layer 5

@MARLA spot 1.280 205 67 AND MARLA faces left AND MARLA moves to layer 4
@MARLA is idle_sit_neutral_loop_rear

&pan to zone 2 in 2

@/RYAN walks to screen center in zone 2 in 2 AND RYAN moves to layer 0

Try this, I just edited some stuff and it might not change anything but it’s worth a try

i have a similar problem too, i want one person behind the overlay and two in front but its either that they’re all behind the overlay of in front of it

@LEXI moves to layer 4
@BARTENDER moves to layer 1
@NATALIE moves to layer 3

i’d suggest having the two in front both at layer 4 and trying having the bartender at layer 0? i’m not sure. i’m on my phone now so i don’t know what advice to give

i’ll try that tomorrow and i’ll let you know what happens!

It unfortunately didn’t work.

Place RYAN offscreen first and move it to the layer there then use spot walking to enter the scene

It’s still not working

can you show your script now?

I currently have this:
INT. INTERROGATION ROOM with INTERROGATION TABLE with CHAIR BACK

&overlay 6746615591534592_CHAIR BACK shifts to 3 3
&overlay 6746615591534592_CHAIR BACK scales to 1.124 1.124

&overlay 6746615591534592_INTERROGATION TABLE scales to 1.139 1.139
&overlay INTERROGATION TABLE moves to layer 3
&overlay CHAIR BACK moves to layer 5

@MARLA spot 1.280 205 67 AND MARLA faces left AND MARLA moves to layer 4
@MARLA is idle_sit_neutral_loop_rear

&pan to zone 2 in 2

@/RYAN walks to screen center in zone 2 in 2 AND RYAN moves to layer 0

which is what @zapcV told me I should do and it’s still not working.

Default walking won’t work because entering character will be always in front even if you move it to the layer

Try my suggestion about spot walking it will work for 100%
