I can't position my image.

[zatel]

Currently there are no errors. But my character seems a bit gigantic for take up nearly the entire screen. I know I can just resize the image but I'm not trying to do that.
Here is the code.

Code: Select all

define center = Position(yalign=2)

then I use that to position it.

Code: Select all

show denm at center
with dissolve

The image doesn't even budge. I tired the one Ren'Py's wiki page but that doesn't work either (well, I think it does, but the ypos doesn't work).

Code: Select all

show denm at Position(xpos = 0.5, xanchor=0.5, ypos=32, yanchor=32)

Position is really old, try transforms and read the docs on positional properties a little bit.

Thanks, but I've been using the basic transform functions. I looked at the ATL page but that looks like it's for moving pictures. I just want a normal picture to stay in a specific spot.

It's not for moving pictures. It's for manipulating how elements are presented on-screen -- position is one of the things that you can manipulate.

Code: Select all

transform center:
    yalign 2.0

Thanks, however, it seems like I can only get the yalign to work. The x will just make it stay in one place, move all the way to the other side, or it'll just make the entire picture disappear. Any tips?

Also, when I use the yalign, some of my pictures will move to the side instead of going up and down, regardless of what I put, even though it was originally in the center.

I always find align a pain in the ass. What align does is it sets the "anchor" of the image, which is sort of like where the thumb tack would go if you attached it to something, AND it sets the "position" of the image, which is where that thumb tack goes on the stage, and it's always a hassle to get it to the right place. I prefer to leave the anchor alone, and just use "pos" to move images around. also, I think "center" is a built in Renpy command, and changing it might mess things up. Try using something unique for your own label, like "mycenter" or something. And just a reminder if you don't know, using a value for position with a decimal, like 2.0, places it relative to the size of the stage. I think the position "2.0" might put it one full screen distance off the stage. Using numbers without decimal points, like "2" moves it by pixels, so only 2 pixels. It's important to know where the anchor point of the image is though, "anchor (0.5,0.5)" would put it dead center of the image, 0,0 puts it in the top left corner. That is the point where the object will move from.

I use align all the time for "general" positioning and pos only when I need to position to the exact pixel (for example to match with a background). With align, xalign, yalign use only decimals from 0.0 to 1.0. Usign 2.0 will put your image off the screen (or most part of it, it depends on the image size).
