Hello, Hi, Hola, Bonjour
I recently read a story on here which had the option to hold the screen a move it around? If you get my gist lol
Basically I would like to use the tame technique in my story but I haven’t the foggiest on how to even start. I can send you the pictures etc that I want to use.
But if you can either tell me how to do it, or do it for me either way you will be creditited and If I make it into the top 10 it will be because of you too
Thank you in advance. And I look forward to hearing from whoever answers my worry

You are probably referring to a tappable + pannable choice
Section #3: Pannable overlays
Pannable overlays are more advanced, but still relatively simple to figure out. Here is a basic code:
( note: all of the overlays and backgrounds are still from Episode themselves – so there will be no errors or approval necessary to use in a script )
EXT. CAMPUS GARDEN - DAY with FANCY TOTE POMERANIAN BROWN TAN with FANCY TOTE CHIHUAHUA BROWN TAN with FANCY TOTE TERRIER BROWN BLACK
@overlay FANCY TOTE POMERANIAN BROWN TAN shifts to 66 129 in zone 1
@overlay FANCY TOTE POMERANIAN BROWN TAN scales to 0.928 0.928 in zone 1
@overlay FANCY TOTE CHIHUAHUA BROWN TAN shifts to 66 129 in zone 2
@overlay FANCY TOTE CHIHUAHUA BROWN TAN scales to 0.928 0.928 in zone 2
@overlay FANCY TOTE TERRIER BROWN BLACK shifts to 66 129 in zone 3
@overlay FANCY TOTE TERRIER BROWN BLACK scales to 0.928 0.928 in zone 3
tappable [pan:1:3]
“FANCY TOTE POMERANIAN BROWN TAN” {
NARRATOR
You chose a pomeranian!
} “FANCY TOTE CHIHUAHUA BROWN TAN” {
NARRATOR
You chose a chihuahua!
} “FANCY TOTE TERRIER BROWN BLACK” {
NARRATOR
You chose a terrier!
}
This works almost the exact same as the code used in section #2 . Only, instead of adding just “tappable” before the rest of the code, you type, “tappable [pan:1:3]”. Keep in mind, that the “3” represents the max amount of zones the reader will be able to drag around the screen – and the “1” represents the minimum.
Please ignore all of the @overlay commands I used at the beginning of both of these templates – I was just placing the overlays in order to make the scene more professional and easier to tap on the overlays.
However, say you only want to let the reader drag horizontally or only vertically. Here is the code you would use before the choices:
Vertical:
tappable [pan:1:3:ver] “OVERLAY” {
}
Horizontal:
tappable [pan:1:3:hor] “OVERLAY” {
}

yeah you have to use the code
pannable [pan:3:hor] or replace ‘hor’ with ‘ver’

So let’s say I have a box which you are looking through, will the box be the back ground or the overlay?
I think I didn’t understand your question
Ah my bad! So the moveable background. The reader is looking through a box. So will the box be the background which you move around or will it be the overlay?
You move around the background! Overlays will stay where you put them
