What Did Opacity Had To Do With Overlays??
If you’re creating an overlay in the stage you need to add an opacity command for overlay to show up
Oh Didnt Know New To The Episode Stuff But I Got It From Turtorials I’ve Been Watching …
opacity is the transparency, since i didn’t specify mine i believe it was at 0%.
there’s more info about overlays in this post, if u want to check it out. it helped me with coding my overlays!
my mistake was that i skipped the part where she put the opacity, it was my mistake 
everything in the thread is right tho
