Overlay Spotting Issue

[preciseaep]

So I’m trying to use this overlay (and keep in mind I’ve had to make it TINY) and it keeps appearing in the wrong spot and appears MASSIVE instead of small

Heres a picture of where the overlay should be and the spot for it (the overlay is the tiny green thing on the top part of the computer, you should be able to see it’s selected)

Summary

Ive copied the exact same thing it says at the bottom, and despite having done that it’s still made my overlay appear in a completely random spot making it huge too

Can someone please help?

Thanks ! :))

Hi @preciseaep. I hope you are doing well.
I have some few requests and questions before we address the issue…

1. Could you send the coding of the overlay from the writers portal
2. Are you using the web previewed or you are coding then reverting to the phone tester to confirm everything?
   Sometimes that happens ALOT… (the coding of the overlay that is)

Thanks​:slightly_smiling_face:

Sure thing, give me a few minutes and I’ll open my laptop back up :))

And I rely on my phone as whenever I preview it on my laptop it can cause a lot of lag and sometimes even crashes

The overlay is called “GREEN” and it’s at the very end of the massive block of coding <3

How about trying to use the web previewer to spot direct the overlay green? … It could be shifting because of the phone preview… … I don’t know if am making sense

[Farah_DeSantis]

problem is that when you write overlays next to the BG sometimes it doesnt give error even if there is a typo or wrong overlay name.

This might be the cause in this case.

Try to use &overlay GREEN create
instead

[preciseaep]

That’s worked thank you! :))

[preciseaep]

Don’t worry it’s fixed now, I used the create overlay option instead of merging it with the background

Thanks for helping ! :))
