Shifting (I think thats it) an overlay

Okay so, I want this overlay to get smaller, like its moving;
4485354015187534496979

My code so far is;
INT. ALIEN HANGER - DAY with DARK FAE
&cut to zone 2
@overlay DARK FAE create
@overlay DARK FAE opacity 1 in 0
@overlay 4936114174754816_DARK FAE shifts to 27 134
@overlay 4936114174754816_DARK FAE scales to 0.700 0.700
@pause for a beat
@overlay 4936114174754816_DARK FAE shifts to 106 401
@overlay 4936114174754816_DARK FAE scales to 0.129 0.129

Last time I tried to do an overlay, it just WOULD NOT move. So HELP!!

It won’t work and is still in the default spot…

I’m gonna write it as if I coded it

INT. ALIEN HANGER - DAY with DARK FAE
&overlay DARK FAE shifts to 27 134 in zone 2
&overlay DARK FAE scales to 0.700 0.700
&overlay DARK FAE opacity 1 in 0
@cut to zone 2

@pause for a beat

&overlay DARK FAE shifts to 106 401 in zone 2 in 2
@overlay DARK FAE scales to 0.129 0.129 in 2

Do you think you could code this again, but make it spin in a circle…?

Heres the overlay (idk if you need it…)

I’ve never coded a rotating overlay haha, but try this

EXT. HANGER - INSIDE with DARK MAGIC
&FIONA changes eyesColor into Violet
&ALISHA changes eyesColor into Violet
&ALISHA spot 1.025 216 120 AND ALISHA is kiss_passionate_loop AND ALISHA faces left AND FIONA spot 0.995 174 131 AND FIONA is kiss_passionate_loop_rear AND FIONA faces left AND ALISHA moves to layer 2 AND FIONA moves to layer 3
&overlay DARK MAGIC shifts to 102 178
&overlay DARK MAGIC scales to 0.746 0.746
&overlay DARK MAGIC opacity 1 in 0
&overlay DARK MAGIC rotates 360 anchor point 0.5 0.5 in 2 loop INFINITE times
@cut to zone #

It says the rotation is invalid

Thx btw

I edited it!

Sweet thx

I tried it and it rotated for like 5 seconds and then stopped. Also, the overlay was in the right spot before, but then I did the rotation coding and it wasn’t in the right spot. Also, could I just ask you for overlay coding bc I’m horrible at it. :))

If you want it to keep rotating until you clear the overlay or change the scene is:

&overlay DARK MAGIC rotates 360 anchor point 0.5 0.5 in 2 THEN overlay DARK MAGIC rotates 0 anchor point 0.5 0.5 in 0 loop INFINITE times

For the spot, unfortunately you will have to adjust it with overlay helper…

It worked thanks!! But, I need it at the center. If you scroll up, before the rotation, that spot was where I needed it, its not in he right spot here.

Give me a moment to turn on my PC.

Btw, I did the overlay helper and it goes to default spot for some reason. I’ve done pretty much everything but nothing works, and etherealWitch seemed to make it work somehow.

Just to make sure, despite the rotation issue the overlay stayed on the same place at first?

So when I did it it didn’t. When @EtherealWitch did it it did. When she did the rotation, it didn’t.

Try this, it’s what I can think about to solve the sudden shifting when rotating… Change # to 1 if you want the overlay behind them after to 4 if you want in front of them

It did it for like 0.1 seconds and then went back to where it was before.

I’m lost, @astrowolfgirl . Did it go to the wrong place again?

If it did just for 0.1 seconds take the pause for 0.001 out

Like it rotated, it just went back to the spot it was in before. It went to the right spot for like 0.1 seconds.

:sob:
Send me the link through PM, I’ll try to understand what’s happening…
Just to make sure, when you saved your overlay it was a square where the circle was centered, right?
