What does the error say?

Loop command can only be used with Overlay Animation commands.

Well… before the . (as in .075) shouldn’t it be a number? Like 1 or 0?

Oh! I see what you mean, but I believe it works either way sense i’ve used just . numerous times.

I think i figured out the issue. Apparently you can’t use pauses in loops, not sure why :slightly_frowning_face:

You’ll have to just use then on its own. Frustrating :persevere:
