[VX] Sprite Mover

Sprite Mover
Version 1.0
by Woratana
Release Date: 02/06/2008


Introduction
This is a little snippet I wrote for my project.
It's to fix the problem that sprite is too high or too low for the tiles behind.

I actually ran into this problem when I'm trying to put stuffs in 1 block height of cave's ground.
So I think to use script is easier than edit the sprite image~ :D

Enjoy~  :lol:

Uhmmm, I'm a little confused. So it moves a sprite yea? What's so special? (I'm trying my best to find it, seeing as how it IS your script, so there must be something I'm missing... hopefully xD)

It can move sprite in pixel without edit the sprite itself. :D

I don't know how often you get on mapping,
but you can run to the problem that some objects you want to put on the tile below looks too high or too low to fit.

 

[Krobelus]

Ohh, I get it now! That's actually really useful, especially if you want to make a messy room, with things literally everywhere. And I forgot it was for VX xD

Another useful snippet. Thanks! =D

Hmm, fairly simple, yet effective. Awesome work, woratana.

 

[tensuke]

Wow, I love it! Never thought of just scripting that, it's really useful.

 

[woratana]

Thanks you all! :D

The script is fairly simple, but I'm glad you guys like it. <3

 

[Mimi Chan]

does this script moves the sprite or the whole event (including pasability) per pixel?

 

[woratana]

No, it's not pixelmovement script, so it'll move only sprite

 

[Sky Render]

May I ask why using a negative y value moves the image up? It's a little.. well, shouldn't a negative y value move it down?

 

[woratana]

That's how X/Y in RGSS works~

X: + right, - left
Y: + down, - up

 

[Tempus]

Yeah, that's how it works in all scripting/coding languages doesn't it?
In every language that i've used anyway.

 

[BlueScope]

Depends really... in a mathematical sense with the axis cross, you have the y-axis going upwards (don't confuse it with z, though, as the axis cross is just a stood-up version of a flat shape, if you want), while RGSS sets the zero point/origin at the upper-left corner, going downwards. It's a perspective thing really, because theoretically, you could put y as a horizontal shifter in a scripting language (which would of course make no sense at all, but meh), but there's nothing wrong with increasing y making sprites go southwards on your screen in RGSS.

Great snippet woratana.  This is very useful, since great artwork lies in the smallest details.
