Thank you for reading! :heart_eyes:

Title is fading out, I used this command:
@overlay OVERLAY opacity 1 in 3.0

More about overlays HERE

The texts are just shifting commands :slight_smile: I’m placing my overlays offscreen the just using:
@overlay OVERLAY shifts to 100 100 in zone 1 in 3.5
(offscreen as well)

Tappable overlays: (YES/NO option)

3723

Do you have a background you want to use?

You can use spot directing to place characters behind the table.

3724

Thank you so much!! Love you story and looking forward to reading more

Ahh! It worked! Thank you sooo much!

I am using the background Int. Coffee shop from stage ol - night . I can spot direct ok. But how do you get them behind the tables? Is it the layers?

3731

Yes, you’ll need overlays, this one has only one table in the middle as an overlay and a bar counter and 2 chairs in the first zone.

3732

@TAYLOR spot 0.656 160 341 in zone 1 AND TAYLOR faces right AND TAYLOR is idle_sit_anklescrossed_neutral_loop AND @zoom on TAYLOR to 300%

I ran into an error…how do I fix this?
The way it’s showing is first she’s sitting and then it zooms on her. I want it to be done at the same time. (If that makes sense…)

3733

delete @ from the zoom part :slight_smile:

3734

THANK YOU!!! You make everything seem so easy…

Can you delete a story that is already published?!?!? If not is there a way around it?!?

3737

You can’t delete it but you can lock it. Just make a loop in the beginning of each episode and update your story:

label dont_read
NARR
This story is not ready yet.
goto dont_read

If I’m trying to get her to be in front of the table, what exactly am I doing wrong?

3739

Try writing this instead:
@CELIA enters from right to spot 1.280 104 0 AND CELIA moves to layer 5

3740

The error message is wrong, but have I done something wrong as it pertains to the layers? Perhaps, I forgot to say what layer my overlay is at?

3741

That might be it. Try adding a layer to your overlay.

INT. BACKGROUND - DAY with OVERLAY to % x y at layer # in zone 1

Still try using the command I wrote above :slight_smile:
