It depends on how your overlay looks. You just have to play around and find the best angle
Hi,

this is the problem
and I don’t know what to do
Sometimes when characters is laying down or its in smaller size the speech bubble are tend to move. You need to spot direct it. Here’s how:

Hi! I’m trying to have readers customize their own characters and found that with the male template, it keeps saying “error” because apparently none of the eyebrows exist.
Check the bottom of the first post on this thread for possible causes of this error 
Oh thanks! Hahaha didn’t look through the whole thing!
Hi again, so I’ve been having a problem with my overlays. In some scenes, the overlay im using for a future scene would quickly pop in and out of the beginning of the scene when I preview it on the mobile version and I’m not sure why exactly, it shows up real quickly kind of like a flash in and out of my scene but works fine with the rest of the scene and the overlay is being used, Ive had this problem for a while and no matter what I do, I cant seem to direct it so it doesnt do that randomly.
Try to add your overlay to the background instead or use & instead of @ when creating overlay in the scene and make sure you add “in 0” to the shifts to and scales to commands. That’s mean that overlay will be there straight away
I have actually, I don’t ever use the @overlay OVERLAY create thing anymore bc the overlay typically doesn’t show up or work for me so I usually add it to my back and so &overlay OVERLAYNAME opacity 0 after I direct the zoom and zone so it’s invisible immediately but whenever I preview it, it pops in and out right at the beginning of the scene then the rest of the scene goes on and I direct the overlay to do whatever and it works but for some reason at the beginning it pops in and out really quickly.
can you show me your script?

*** It does it right at the beginning of the scene no matter what I do****
place your overlay off screen (so it’s not visible) and after the opacity command between lines place it when you want it exactly
Hey, I have a question: If I place a speech bubble at a certain spot on the screen, will the rest of the speech bubbles appear at the same spot or is it automatically removed?
after @speechbubble reset the bubble will move to default position (somewhere near your character face)
Okay thanks!
I have a question . If am using episode interactive on my computer to make my story will it give my computer a virus

How do i fix this
To fix that problem you would type:
sound alarmclock_beep
what I did was remove the dash line (-) and replace it with an underscore (_).
Hope this helps!!
