Sprite moving and entity position

[Mihulik]

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!

please post your code

Code

#include "scripts\base.inc"
 
while(true){
var fog = Scene.GetNode("fog");
 
if(fog.X <= -2142){
fog.X = fog.X + 2142;
}
 
Sleep(20);
}

I attach the script when a scene is initializing:

Code

#include "scripts\base.inc"
 
Game.AttachScript("scenes\Obzorye_Island-Beach\scr\Fog.script");
 
if(Game.PrevScene == "Obzorye_Island-Mountain_path"){
actor.SkipTo(1423, 330);
actor.Direction = DI_DOWN;
actor.Active = true;
}
 
 
Scene.SkipTo(actor);
 
on "SceneShutdown"{
Game.DetachScript("scenes\Obzorye_Island-Beach\scr\Fog.script");
}

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

#include "scripts\base.inc"
 
while(true){
 
if (this.X <= -2142) this.X = 2142;
Sleep(20);
 
}

This will do the trick and is a lot easier

Thanks!
I'll try it and let you know whether it'll help me

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.
