Hi! I would really need help with an overlay scene.
I have INT. SCHOOL OFFICE OL - DAY and I want to put one character behind and one in front, how do I do that? I would really need help, if anyone can! Thank you

This works by layering.
There are different layers. The bigger the number, the more front it is.
For example, Layer 4 would be at the front and layer 1 would be in the back.
So for example, I have this background:
In this case, the bar man at the back would be at layer 1.
The bar table would be at layer 2
The man sitting would be layer 3
The bar stools at layer 4
The man in front layer 5
You also have to put @overlay in front.
So, something like:
@overlay man1 moves to layer 1
@overlay bartable moves to layer 2
etc
However, it might cause them to do this one by one
The & symbol is useful for having things do the same thing
(e.g &overlay blah moves to layer 4)
However, I don’t remember if you can use it for moving layers
I’m not good at explaining, and I am definitely far from being a good coder, but Dara Amarie is, and she’s super helpful and has a thread that’s super helpful called A Guide to Using & Animating OVERLAYS
Check her out, she’s awesome.
Thanks! c:
