If they are not showing up when you run the game, then you have a leak.

Uh how did you come to that conclusion?

I had overlays on my buttons on one of my maps, and I tried my dambest to make them work, then I found a leak, fixed it, and they've worked since.

The best way to figure out if you have a leak is to look in your compile log during VBSP because it will yell and scream at you that you have a leak.

I've had maps with leaks (plenty of times) and the overlays still showed up. Light emitting textures won't but overlays have never given me issues.

Back on topic: Besides using the overlay tool for overlays (ok, cheap shot there but I know u understand I couldn't resist) get to know the VEnd, UEnd VStart and UStart properties well. You can do some cool stuff easily and consistently with these bad boys.

This is on topic (I think):

When I put the incutor lights, the one on the wall gets "chewed up".
I think it's because I used the carve tool and I have mtipule walls. Is there any way I can get an overlay to appear on different walls (right on top of each other) at the same time?

Assign more faces to the overlay. I don't know how exactly is it called in Hammer (don't have it opened now), but there is a "face picker" icon using which you can pick more faces and the overlay will be fine then
