You need to specifiy a different layer number for each overlay and character, so chair1 and chair4 would be layers 1 and 2, the boy and girl would be 3 and 4, the chair arms would be 5 and 6 and the table 7.

There’s also a bug if you specify the character layer separate from your spot directions, so it’s best to code the characters layers like this:
@BOY spot 0.961 58 212 in zone 2 at layer 3

So, although it looks okay since you’ve moved the character code to the bottom of the list, it might not look okay for anyone else playing the game.
