My overlay won't rotate at all

My overlay is not rotating and I don’t know why. Here’s the script:

@overlay EXT. ROOFTOP BAR CHAIR ONE Z1 - DAY opacity 100% in 0

@overlay EXT. ROOFTOP BAR CHAIR ONE Z1 - DAY to 1.720 28 6

@overlay EXT. ROOFTOP BAR CHAIR ONE Z1 - DAY shifts to 60 105 in zone 2

@overlay EXT. ROOFTOP BAR CHAIR ONE Z1 - NIGHT opacity 100% in 0

@overlay EXT. ROOFTOP BAR CHAIR ONE Z1 - NIGHT to 1.720 170 7

@overlay EXT. ROOFTOP BAR CHAIR ONE Z1 - NIGHT shifts to 221 110 in zone 2

@overlay EXT. ROOFTOP BAR CHAIR ONE Z1 - NIGHT shifts to 179 108 in zone 2 in 1.0

@overlay EXT. ROOFTOP BAR CHAIR ONE Z1 - DAY shifts to 20 185 in zone 2 in 1.0
@overlay EXT. ROOFTOP BAR CHAIR ONE Z1 - DAY shifts to 125 197 in zone 2 in 1.0

@overlay EXT. ROOFTOP BAR CHAIR ONE Z1 - DAY shifts to 125 197 in zone 2

@overlay EXT. ROOFTOP BAR CHAIR ONE Z1 - DAY rotates 360 anchor point 0.5 0.5 in 1

Here there is no valid command (no “shifts to” or “scales to”) and the coordinates are wrong, since you’re using the scale and x y in the same line like you would for a character, not an overlay with the exception of adding to the background. :see_no_evil:

You’ve also done it here:

I’d change it to:
@overlay EXT. ROOFTOP BAR CHAIR ONE Z1 - NIGHT scales to 1.720 1.720

@overlay EXT. ROOFTOP BAR CHAIR ONE Z1 - NIGHT shifts to 170 7 in zone 2

You can follow the same format for the second one too. The scale and shifting need to be separate commands.

So what is the valid command?

I’ve updated my reply for you. :relaxed:

Thanks, but it’s still not working.

I’ve edited your script for you.^

Also, if you want to: you can change the opacity commands to “opacity 1 in 0” which is shorter and does the same thing.
