xalign, xpos, etc (position style properties) Not working

[meiri]

I've been having this issue with when I use xalign,ypos, xpos, yalign, yanchor, etc.

Heres an example:

Here, I defined a side image, as well as scaled it using im.FactorScale

Code: Select all

image side liltabi neutral=Image(im.FactorScale("sprites/liltabi/liltabi_neutral.png", 0.7,0.7))

Then, lower down, I tried to position it, because it was covering the name...

Code: Select all

define lt = Character('Tabitha',color="#006DBF",window_left_padding=195, image="liltabi",xalign=1.0)

But the image doesn't move.

I also tried this:

Code: Select all

image side liltabi neutral=Image(im.FactorScale("sprites/liltabi/liltabi_neutral.png", 0.7,0.7),xalign=1.0)
define lt = Character('Tabitha',color="#006DBF",window_left_padding=195, image="liltabi")

but the image still doesn't move. I tried giving different positions (eg. xalign=2.0) or using xpos (xpos=2.0)

I've reloaded as well as restarted Ren'py but theres no change in the image.

I also had this issue earlier when trying to position a custom name and namebox, but neither would budge and I had to omit the namebox from the rest of my textbox.
Wondering if anyone can point out my issue or explain what Im doing incorrectly.

Also:
Im aware that I could reposition side images entirely by customizing the say screen, and that MIGHT work, but I need this side image to be positioned in a specific way, and I have another side image thats already positioned correctly, and I don't want to mess THAT image up by customizing the say screen.

Have you thought about adding some transparent space to the image to make it appear in a different position while sharing the alignment of your previous side image?

As for the namebox, you can change the alignment by modifying the style "say_who_window".

You have to customize the say screen, at least to remove the "xalign 0.0" clause. It's overriding the xalign you're giving the side image.

Ah, I didn't think about this, it's definitely something I'll have to keep in mind for later.

Oooh, okay, that makes much more sense. It seems to have fixed it as well. Thank you!
