Hii, I’m not a professional but I wish you the best on your story! Dara has some awesome guides on props and overlays so I hope they can help!

Actions at the same time

If you are doing an action together, you should use ‘AND’

You can choose whatever layers or spot directions you need by clicking ‘Show Helpers’ then ‘Spot Directing’

For overlay-
@overlay OVERLAYNAME create
@overaly OVERLAYNAME opacity 1 in 0
@overlay OVERLAYNAME shifts to x y in zone # in T
And If you want to add it with background-
Background name and write with OVERLAYNAME
Ex- INT. BACKGROUND NAME - DAY with OVERLAYNAME
Duplicating overlay-
@overlay OVERLAYNAME_2 create from OVERLAYNAME
(You don’t need to add opacity in this one)
And for removing use @overlay OVERLAYNAME clear
For props-
@add Prop Name to CHARACTER
To remove-
@remove Prop Name from CHARACTER

And as for the hugging scene-
You need to learn about layering first and then use the animations.
Example-
&/GIRL spot x in zone y AND GIRL moves to layer -2 AND GIRL is hug_neutral_pose
(‘x’ is the spot the character is and ‘y’ is the zone)
&/GUY spot x in zone y AND GUY moves to layer 3 AND GUY faces right AND GUY is hug_neutral_rear
(If you want the character to walk and hug then use walks to spot x)
Ex-
@/GUY walks to spot 0.538 125 348 in zone 2 in 4 AND GUY moves to layer 3 AND GUY is walk_worried_loop
@/GUY is hug_neutral_rear AND GUY faces right
@/GIRL is hug_neutral (Make sure to layer her correctly)

Hope it helped! And good luck with your story
