I need some overlay help

So I’m trying to make a kind of title for my story and it includes multiple little glowing lights in it similar to stars but only two of them are showing up on the screen when there are meant to be more. So I was wondering if anyone has a template for glowing stars or if they could take a look at my script? Thanks :slight_smile:

This is my script:
@zoom on 0 0 to 100% in 2
@overlay WHITE GLOW create
@overlay WHITE GLOW shifts to 48 92 in 0
@overlay WHITE GLOW scales to 0.1% 0.1% in 0
@overlay WHITE GLOW opacity 0 in 0
@overlay WHITE GLOW moves to layer 2
@overlay WHITE GLOW opacity 0 in 0
@overlay GREEN GLOW create
@overlay GREEN GLOW shifts to 95 126 In 0
@overlay GREEN GLOW scales to 0.1% 0.1% in 0
@overlay GREEN GLOW opacity 0 in 0
@overlay GREEN GLOW moves to layer 2
@overlay GREEN GLOW opacity 0 in 0
@overlay WHITE GLOW create
@overlay WHITE GLOW shifts to 140 170 in 0
@overlay WHITE GLOW scales to 0.1% 0.1% in 0
@overlay WHITE GLOW opacity 0 in 0
@overlay WHITE GLOW moves to layer 2
@overlay WHITE GLOW opacity 0 in 0
@overlay GREEN GLOW create
@overlay GREEN GLOW shifts to 128 287 In 0
@overlay GREEN GLOW scales to 0.1% 0.1% in 0
@overlay GREEN GLOW opacity 0 in 0
@overlay GREEN GLOW moves to layer 2
@overlay GREEN GLOW opacity 0 in 0
@overlay WHITE GLOW create
@overlay WHITE GLOW shifts to 111 8 in 0
@overlay WHITE GLOW scales to 0.1% 0.1% in 0
@overlay WHITE GLOW opacity 0 in 0
@overlay WHITE GLOW moves to layer 2
@overlay WHITE GLOW opacity 0 in 0
@overlay GREEN GLOW create
@overlay GREEN GLOW shifts to 24 223 In 0
@overlay GREEN GLOW scales to 0.1% 0.1% in 0
@overlay GREEN GLOW opacity 0 in 0
@overlay GREEN GLOW moves to layer 2
@overlay GREEN GLOW opacity 0 in 0
@overlay WHITE GLOW create
@overlay WHITE GLOW shifts to 258 311 in 0
@overlay WHITE GLOW scales to 0.1% 0.1% in 0
@overlay WHITE GLOW opacity 0 in 0
@overlay WHITE GLOW moves to layer 2
@overlay WHITE GLOW opacity 0 in 0
@overlay GREEN GLOW create
@overlay GREEN GLOW shifts to 224 38 In 0
@overlay GREEN GLOW scales to 0.1% 0.1% in 0
@overlay GREEN GLOW opacity 0 in 0
@overlay GREEN GLOW moves to layer 2
@overlay GREEN GLOW opacity 0 in 0
@pause for a beat
@overlay WHITE GLOW opacity 1 in 1
@overlay WHITE GLOW opacity 0 in 1
@overlay WHITE GLOW opacity 1 in 1
@overlay GREEN GLOW opacity 1 in 1
@overlay GREEN GLOW opacity 0 in 1
@overlay GREEN GLOW opacity 1 in 1

but you only told the script to create 2
@C.Melody

you need to create a duplicate from the overlays if you want to have more of them
this is what you need to do if you want more WHITE GLOW or GREEN GLOW

DUPLICATING the Same Overlay:

You can use the same overlay more than once without having to upload the overlay with a different name.

@overlay OVERLAYNAME_2 create from OVERLAYNAME

You can name the duplicated overlay whatever you want (I just added “2” to the end of the original overlay name), and use that name to animate the new overlay.
You can use this code as many times as you want, but make sure that you don’t use the same exact name.

so if you want a 3 one you just do
@overlay OVERLAYNAME_3 create from OVERLAYNAME
and so on for the rest

please let me know if it works

Thank you it works!

Sorry to bother you again but I kinda need some more help lmao.
Do you know how I can make them change opacity at the same time?

@C.Melody
yes instead of this
@overlay WHITE GLOW opacity 1 in 1
@overlay WHITE GLOW opacity 0 in 1
@overlay WHITE GLOW opacity 1 in 1
@overlay GREEN GLOW opacity 1 in 1
@overlay GREEN GLOW opacity 0 in 1
@overlay GREEN GLOW opacity 1 in 1

do this
@overlay WHITE GLOW opacity 1 in 1
&overlay WHITE GLOW_2 opacity 0 in 1
&overlay WHITE GLOW_3 opacity 1 in 1
&overlay GREEN GLOW opacity 1 in 1
&overlay GREEN GLOW_2 opacity 0 in 1
&overlay GREEN GLOW_3 opacity 1 in 1

It’s still not working for me for some reason ffs.
Thanks for your help but I think I’ll just work on it another time :confused:

mind showing me the script?

This is the part I’m working on right now:

Sorry for the blurry ss

@Dara.Amarie

What does the error say?

wait you can’t preview the story because the overlay isn’t approved yet that’s maybe why it doesn’t work!! the new error!

It says that the overlay needs to be approved before publishing.

I can preview the story on my phone it just says I can’t publish it yet.

And what does the preview show?

Only four of the little glowing thingys show up on the screen and they don’t change transparency and at this point I’m just very confused which is annoying for me because I’ve been writing for a while but I’ve never attempted this thing before.

because you said that 2 overlays need to change into opacity 0
