Window Position over the actor's head
« on: March 18, 2012, 07:42:44 PM »
Sorry for the long title, I thought it would be more specific this way!
I'm using an Icon Based dialogue in my game, and I managed to do that using the guides I found here on the forum. The Window is correctly shown and I have the control over it, but there's something missing for which I could use some help:

The guide I used is great, but it sets the position for my dialogue window(with X and Y coordinates). What I want is the window to be positioned just over the head of my main character.
I searched the forum but couldn't find anything really specific for this question.

I hope somebody can help me! (But generally there's always somebody helpful around here!)

Can't you just use actor.X instead of X and actor.Y instead of Y?

Or rather "actor.Y - actor.Height".
And if you are using scrolling scenes, don't forget to subtract the scrolling offset.
