Overlays are not tappable

Someone plz help me! I’ve had this problem for two days and I can’t seem to figure this out. My tappable overlays are not disappearing when i tap them. The portal and mobile app doesn’t say that there is an error with the overlay. The overlay isn’t approved yet but even when I tried with an approved overlay, it didn’t work still. :sob: :sob: :sob: :sob: :sob:

Here is my script

EXT. CITY HIGHWAY - DAY
&zoom reset
&overlay PRESENT DAY create
&overlay PRESENT DAY opacity 1 in zone 1
@overlay 5888768849018880_PRESENT DAY shifts to 24 290 in zone 1
@overlay 5888768849018880_PRESENT DAY scales to 0.712 0.712
@overlay 5888768849018880_PRESENT DAY moves to layer 13
tappable “PRESENT DAY”{
}

I think they don’t appear because maybe you scaled the overlay in another zone where u can not see them I had the same problem

hi !

your tappable overlays aren’t disappearing when you tap them because you haven’t specified a “clear” command in your script after including the tappable overlay command. so, instead of writing your script out like this:

you will need to write it out like this!

EXT. CITY HIGHWAY - DAY
&zoom reset
&overlay PRESENT DAY create
&overlay PRESENT DAY opacity 1 in zone 1
@overlay 5888768849018880_PRESENT DAY shifts to 24 290 in zone 1
@overlay 5888768849018880_PRESENT DAY scales to 0.712 0.712
@overlay 5888768849018880_PRESENT DAY moves to layer 13
tappable “PRESENT DAY”{
@overlay 5888768849018880_PRESENT DAY clear
}

i hope this helps <3

Don’t put the zone with the opacity command and the command for the overlay to disappear inside the brackets, after the overlay is clicked on

EXT. CITY HIGHWAY - DAY
&zoom reset
&overlay PRESENT DAY create
&overlay PRESENT DAY opacity 1
@overlay PRESENT DAY shifts to 24 290 in zone 1 and overlay PRESENT DAY scales to 0.712 0.712 and overlay PRESENT DAY moves to layer 13
tappable “PRESENT DAY”{
@overlay PRESENT DAY opacity 0 in 0
}

No it’s not that. It’s supposed to be in zone 1
