Overlay Disappearing

[Pax Animo]

Heya,

I'm trying to create a simple overlay which stays on-screen until i decide not, I've read the Manuel and it's say to declare the Overlay* at the top of the script,

Code: ags

// room script file
 Overlay* myOverlay;

function room_Load()
{
  myOverlay.CreateGraphical(100, 100, 6);
}

The overlay appears for a few seconds and then disappears.

CreateOverlay is a static method (called from the type, rather than the particular object) that returns overlay object. You must save that object in a variable:

Code: ags

myOverlay = Overlay.CreateGraphical(100, 100, 6);
