Want a moving title?

[abygail.bauman]

Hello everyone (((:

So I made myself a title overlay and I wanted to show, for whoever doesn’t know, how to move the overlays as a “title screen” during a chapter!

I will be doing the following:

• Showing the GIF of what I did
• Sharing the code
• Explaining the parts of the code (what each overlay is, etc)
• And answering any questions you guys have ((:

GIF:

Title overlay (I made separate overlays of each part of the title):

What each overlay in the code resembles:
-THEOVERLAY:

-SUROVERLAY :

-EE9OVERLAY:

Since my title has three parts, I have 3 overlays and 3 overlay commands. If you have more or less than 3 overlays, read the statement below the code
The code (the spaces should NOT be put in the official code, I am using it to show the different overlays + background):

• If you have less than 3 parts erase one of the overlay sections
• But if you have more than 3 parts, copy this section and add it to the code, replacing the overlay names with the new overlay name (replace the bold parts) and direct the new overlay’s place, copying and pasting the new coordinates in the italicized section

@abygail.bauman
May I ask which website you got those cool fonts?

[MystikLunaa]

to anyone who wants to make an text overlay move just use regular overlay animating guide

A Guide to Using & Animating OVERLAYS

Don’t forget to LIKE if this guide helps you! OVERLAYNAME is the overlay name x coordinate is where the overlay is placed on the screen horizontally (side to side) y coordinate is where the overlay is placed on the screen vertically (up and down) % is the scale size T stands for time in seconds # means “number” NOTE: When you test your story and move your overlay around, you will see 2 codes that look something like this (examples): @overlay OVERLAYNAME shifts to 196 223 @overlay OVERLA…

and for functions use

HOW TO: Use Easing Functions

You can add more info to overlay animations (check out this guide on overlays right here: A Guide to Using & Animating OVERLAYS ) by using easing functions which can help to make the movement seem more “natural”. According to the Episode Guides, they’re subtle, and sometimes it may be hard to spot the difference of these easing functions when comparing two overlays side by side, but if you look closely, you should be able to see it ^^ Here’s an example I wrote up, using an overlay from Episode…

I can make you some text overlay just head over and look at the font options and color options

Lunaa's Text Overlay Thread {OPEN}

Currently bored with nothing to do…because writers block sucks ass. Recently I made someone some Text Overlays. ( And I know you can already make some in the portal. Dara Explains how to do that here but you know the font is not the most creative)…so why not help everyone else out. Font Options [Font%20List%20NEW] Color Option [Color%20Options] And if you dont know how to Upload the overlay check Apes Thread out and if you dont know about Overlays take a look at Dara’s Thread and Jo…

I don’t think you need to put it, I never put it in pretty sure it’s the code number of the overlay maybe

[LaurelleE27]

When you put 6487735020552192_THEOVERLAY for example what does the 6487735020552192 mean

Because it’s an uploaded overlay, Episode gives it an id number.

It doesn’t matter which one you use.

@abygail.bauman
Do you have a request thread for it?

[luckyvirgo]

Is it ok if I Pm you for it?

[luckyvirgo]

Thank you so much !

[JemU776]

Why was your comment flagged? It’s super helpful

[JemU776]

Honestly, I don’t think anyone who wrote on this thread flagged it, it just shocks me and makes me kinda mad as she is trying her utmost to help and to give helpful advice so getting flagged is just so totally not fair

[JemU776]

Well being too sensitive isn’t a good thing.

Don’t worry @MystikLunaa we appreciate all the help that you provide, you’re awesome, keep it up, don’t let anything or anyone bring you down from helping others OK

[MystikLunaa]

Lmao don’t even trip…I know I ain’t…if they don’t want my help then they fudge them…I just wanted to help take time out of my boring ass day and help them have amazing text overlays if they don’t want that then that’s in them I don’t need them I could care less about them
