ROTATING Overlays:

@overlay OVERLAYNAME rotates # anchor point x x in T

# is a number between 0 through 360 (like the degrees of a circle)
360 turns the overlay all the way around, which turns it back to 0
180 makes the overlay upside down
Put a negative sign before the number to make it rotate the opposite way.

Rotating an overlay depends on it’s anchor point which is the point from which the overlay will rotate:
anchor point 0 0 is the bottom left of the overlay
anchor point 0.5 0.5 is the center of the overlay
anchor point 1 1 is the top right of the overlay

Think of a graph when trying to place the anchor point

This overlay is rotating from anchor point 0 0

This overlay is rotating from anchor point 0.5 0.5

Keep in mind that the overlay will rotate the entire PNG image of the overlay which includes the transparent background. If you want to make the overlay rotate from the center, then your overlay needs to be in the center of the PNG image.

If your overlay is NOT in the center like this:

Then this is how the overlay will rotate at anchor point 0.5 0.5

​

COMBINING Overlay Animations:

1. Use the ampersand sign! &

&overlay OVERLAYNAME shifts to ---------
&overlay OVERLAYNAME scales to ---------
&overlay OVERLAYNAME rotates ---------
@overlay OVERLAYNAME opacity ---------
or
&overlay OVERLAYNAME shifts to ---------
@CHARACTER walks to ----------

2. Or you can use the word “AND” on the same line.

@overlay OVERLAYNAME shifts to ----- AND overlay OVERLAYNAME scales to -----

​

This will help

Do you still need help?

Some what I try want they are tell me but I still can’t get it. The punch move ontop of the bag and then what I try the rotate but the bag move down wards. I’m think of thrown out the scene all together.

Hi the anchor point is bit tricky.

First you have to change the anchor point of the bag to be in top center of the overlay.

First check that the overlay is cut so there is no extra transprarent space around it… In preview you shoud see the white line showing the border of the overlay just next to it… If it looks biger you will eather have to cut out the overlay first or guess the hight of the anchor point.

If the line is close to the beg top the anchor point is I think 0.5 1 in your case.or 1 0.5 lol I myself never remember and have always to try it first.

First you have to change the anchor point before you put the bag on its place. Make the first rotation 0° in 0time so it will not rotate… Just change the anchor point.

Because with changing the anchor point it will look like the bag has moved.

So after you change the anchor point shift the bag to its right position

And rhen just give the rotation command… The anchor point will be the same just change the 0° and time.

If you still have problem give me the overlay ang your script and I will make you the script.
