Title: Sprite moving and entity position
Post by: Mihulik on July 22, 2010, 08:14:14 AM

Hi,
I'd like to have an entity which is moving over a screen.
So, I made a sprite by SpriteEditor, added an image, set looping on true and set "Move by" on -3/0.
In SceneEditor I connected that sprite with an entity.

In a loop I check a position of that entity.
However, the entity X property is always 0.


I need to check whether the entity X property has some value and if so, I wanna change something.


I'd be glad of any help. :)

Thanks!

Code: WME Script

1. #include "scripts\base.inc"
2.  
3. while(true){
4. var fog = Scene.GetNode("fog");
5.  
6. if(fog.X <= -2142){
7. fog.X = fog.X + 2142;
8. }
9.  
10. Sleep(20);
11. }

I attach the script when a scene is initializing:

Code: WME Script

1. #include "scripts\base.inc"
2.  
3. Game.AttachScript("scenes\Obzorye_Island-Beach\scr\Fog.script");
4.  
5. if(Game.PrevScene == "Obzorye_Island-Mountain_path"){
6. actor.SkipTo(1423, 330);
7. actor.Direction = DI_DOWN;
8. actor.Active = true;
9. }
10.  
11.  
12. Scene.SkipTo(actor);
13.  
14. on "SceneShutdown"{
15. Game.DetachScript("scenes\Obzorye_Island-Beach\scr\Fog.script");
16. }

And detach it when the scene is shooting down:-)

The sprite is set in this way:

Nobody knows?
I've been spending hours on trying to figure out what's wrong.

But I haven't found any problem yet:-/

I would use a different approach:
Attach your script in "Scene Edit" to the entity instead of loading it with AttachScript and change the code as following.

Code: WME Script

1. #include "scripts\base.inc"
2.  
3. while(true){
4.  
5. if (this.X <= -2142) this.X = 2142;
6. Sleep(20);
7.  
8. }

This will do the trick and is a lot easier

It works well. Even more, your solution is much "cleaner" than my one.
I didn't know if I place an infinite loop into an entity script, it will work. I'm not so much experienced in WME. ;)

So, I thank you again for the working solution and mainly for the new finding. :)

No Prob.

This reminds me of the time when I was new to WME.
