Just a quick question, is it possible to have overlays automatically load when a scenario starts?

If so is that what the LUA script Get Attachment does?

How would you code that, and where would you store the overlay?

As always Im grateful for any advice.

Regards

Butch

Thanks , thank you so much for this.

I know im going to sound really really thick here, but ...

... If I put post this scenario, do I need to include that repo file and then instruct the recipient to copy that repo folder into their command? Or will command handle all of that for me?

Regards

When the scenario is installed, the attachments are installed in the same folder as the SCEN file, but when the scenario is first loaded, it will move them to the 'repo' folder.
