Can buttons on an overlay control the other scene that is below the overlay?

Just wondering if I could have buttons on my overlay control the scene that is underneath the overlay? For example: You have an overlay with a rotate button and when you press it the scene under the overlay rotates?

Any ideas about this being able to be done? Thanks.

I’m not sure whether a true Overlay would work for this or not as it’s technically it’s own scene, isn’t it?

Would your overlay be a permanent feature? i.e. always present in the scene?

If so, you could use separate display groups within the scene. Place the buttons in the upper group and have their event handlers trigger rotation of the other display group. If you don’t want the buttons always present, you could move their group off-screen (outside the visible bounds) until required.

Thanks Jules, for the response. I will try your suggestions.
