Can you be more specific? Do you mean if character is CHAR for example and char overlay is CHAR2 then

CHAR sends a picture of CHAR2 to CHAR3 ?

If so then are you talking about sending through phone texting messages?

So, I’ve actually wanted to code this for my story and this is how it ended up working.
Since the format phone text didn’t seem to work well with overlays, I had to make the message overlays myself, including the picture overlays. I wanted the readers to be able to “tap” on a blurred picture and once they tap on it it will “reveal” the picture. this is the code I used. if you want something more simple you can do it this way just without the “tappable” part, I hope this made sense :sweat_smile:

Example of what it looks like, after the reader taps on it

Code I used

INT.PHONE SCREEN-DAY
&overlay BLUE MESSAGE 1 create
&overlay BLUE MESSAGE 1 opacity 1 in 0.900
&overlay 5437376648380416_BLUE MESSAGE 1 shifts to -22 347 in zone 1 in 0
&overlay 5437376648380416_BLUE MESSAGE 1 scales to 1.270 1.270

@pause for 1.900
&overlay GREY MESSAGE 1 create
&overlay GREY MESSAGE 1 opacity 1 in 0.900
&overlay 5437376648380416_GREY MESSAGE 1 shifts to -71 254 in zone 1 in 0
&overlay 5437376648380416_GREY MESSAGE 1 scales to 1.270 1.270

@pause for 1.900

&overlay BLURRED PIC create
&overlay BLURRED PIC opacity 1 in 0.900
&overlay 5437376648380416_BLURRED PIC shifts to 163 170 in zone 1 in 0
&overlay 5437376648380416_BLURRED PIC scales to 0.550 0.550

readerMessage | bold | Tap on the picture to see it.

tappable
“BLURRED PIC” {

}

&overlay BLURRED PIC clear
&overlay UNBLURRED PIC create
&overlay UNBLURRED PIC opacity 1 in 0
&overlay 5437376648380416_UNBLURRED PIC shifts to 163 170 in zone 1 in 0
&overlay 5437376648380416_UNBLURRED PIC scales to 0.550 0.550

@pause for 1.500

&overlay GREY MESSAGE 2 create
&overlay GREY MESSAGE 2 opacity 1 in 0.900
&overlay 5437376648380416_GREY MESSAGE 2 shifts to -69 -2 in zone 1 in 0
&overlay 5437376648380416_GREY MESSAGE 2 scales to 1.270 1.270

Thank you so much! That worked.
