How do I position a Character sprite?

[dmasterxd]

I've looked at the tutorials but they seriously confuse me. So does anyone know how to re-position the characters when you have more than one at the same time? Please and thank you.

you could do:

Code: Select all

show character1 at center
show character2 at left
show character3 at right
## re-positioning
show character1 at right with moveright
show character2 at center with moveleft
## center, left. and right are already defined at 00definitions.rpy 

I think there was a behind statement but I don't quite remember how to use it.
or you could initiate/define your own positions in an init block:

Code: Select all

   
 init:
        $ rightsmile = Position(xpos=1.0, xanchor="right", ypos=0.55, yanchor="left")

and do it like:

Code: Select all

    
label start:
    show inori smile at rightsmile 

hope this helps >.<

These are ones I tend to use:

Put this at the top of the script

Code: Select all

init:
    $ midright = Position(xalign=0.75)
    $ midleft = Position(xalign=0.25)
    $ edgeright = Position(xpos=0.9,xanchor=0.5)
    $ edgeleft= Position(xpos=0.1,xanchor=0.5)

Then in your game use the following to slide them into view or move them to a different position.

Code: Select all

show your_character1 at midleft with easeinleft
show your_character2 at edgeright with easeinright

with moveleft / moveright also work, as posted above.

Use the following to make them leave the screen:

Code: Select all

hide your_character1 with moveoutleft

You can also define a transform and make any character position you want that way. For example:

Code: Select all

transform left:
    xalign 0.2
    yalign 1.0
    
transform right:
    xalign 0.8
    yalign 1.0

It's a slightly easier method than putting it in the init code.
