EDIT - I solved the problem by putting him in the center but is there any way to prevent this problem if he is on the side?


Hi there I'm just needing help with the fact that my sprites keep jumping once I change from their original neutral position to another expression, for example:

Starting position neutral:



to surprised -



and from surprised to grin it doesnt move -



but when I put it back to neutral it goes back to the original position -




my code is just -

show rein neutral at left with moveinleft

then the text then

show rein surprised

text

show rein grin

text

show rein neutral

his is the only one that does it too, could it be png/sprite size? I don't know because they are all the same size...

Check on your sprites for "rein"- are they match eachother or "rein surprised" has more transparent canvas at left.

they are all the same, and if I put him in the center instead of to the left or right it works fine, his sprite is the only one that does it as well so I dont know what it could be.

It's ok to put them in the center, 'cause there are enough free space onscreen to show them (the centers of both images are the same and sides might not match), but when you put them to the left side of screen, then images are placed with their left sides at the same place and it causes the "move aside" effect. Could you post your sprites?

If that's the case, you can simply re-define all the positions. Albeit i don't think that's the case.
Of course, that will only work properly for all sprites if all the sprites have the same stance, i.e. faced towards you or another only direction.
