Overlay animation help please

Basically I’m doing a point system. depending on the choice they choose a devil heart shows up or an angle heart shows up.

I’m trying to have it where the overlay goes from bottom screen to middle screen and dissolves in the middle of that makes sense. When I put in my code it’s acts strange.

I have this on multiple occasions and it just shows up and doesn’t do anything just stays there and grows. it doesn’t go from bottom to middle then dissolve in the middle.

I can’t really picture this code in my head, but when I usually do things like this it goes a bit like this:

ORIGINAL POSITION OF THE OVERLAY FROM WHICH IT TRAVELS UP THE SCREEN FROM:

Shift point/scale point/layer

THE POSITION OF THE OVERLAY THAT YOU WANT IT GO GO TO (Or if you want it to get bigger slowly)

Shift point IN (TIME) /scale point IN (TIME) / layer switch

THEN TO DISSOLVE THE OVERLAY ONCE ITS IN THE MIDDLE

@overlay NAME opacity 0 in (TIME)

You could also use the ease animations for overlays (look it up on the forums to see all of them) To fancy it up and make it look natural

Did that make sense? X

sorta. if this helps this is what I have for my code. I’ve tried different ways with the time and everything. it just like bounces to the place and not glides if that makes better sense.
