Need help! Character picking up book

I want to create a scene where character picks up a book and at the same time the book overlay disappears. But I’m unable to accomplish a smooth transition. the objects disappears after 1 second. Can this be fixed?

This is the code so far

@MARILIA is pickup_object_neutral
&overlay SPELL BOOK clear
@add Spell Book Closed Grey Black to MARILIA

Perhaps try to add the line “&overlay SPELL BOOK clear” above the line “@MARILIA is pickup_object_neutral” ? :thinking:
That happens ridiculously often with me! :sweat_smile:

Use the & sign for the pickup object animation and then pause for less than a second. You can adjust the pause timing to your liking.

&MARILIA is pickup_object_neutral
@pause for 0.4
&overlay SPELL BOOK clear
@add Spell Book Closed Grey Black to MARILIA
