Unable to position sprites using xalign and yalign (SOLVED)

[Geckos]

I have a sprite that is the exact height of the screen (768) but only 738 pixels tall. I can adjust his X position, but not his Y position no matter what I do.

Positioning_problems.jpg is what it looks like in game. Rando_screenie2 is what I'd like to be able to do (but behind the textbox like a normal sprite, just using a quick example in the mockup)

My sprite coding for Mox:

Code: Select all

image mox angry:
    choice:
        LiveComposite((738, 768),
            (0, 0), Animation("sprites/mox/[mox_size]/[mox_outfit]_tail1.png", 7.45, "sprites/mox/[mox_size]/[mox_outfit]_tail2.png", .15, "sprites/mox/[mox_size]/[mox_outfit]_tail3.png", .15, "sprites/mox/[mox_size]/[mox_outfit]_tail4.png", 5.15, "sprites/mox/[mox_size]/[mox_outfit]_tail3.png", .15, "sprites/mox/[mox_size]/[mox_outfit]_tail2.png", .15,),
            (0, 0), "sprites/mox/[mox_size]/[mox_outfit].png",
            (0, 0), "sprites/mox/[mox_size]/neutb.png",
            (0, 0), Animation("sprites/mox/[mox_size]/blink0.png", 14.45, "sprites/mox/[mox_size]/side_blink1b.png", .10, "sprites/mox/[mox_size]/side_blink2b.png", .10, "sprites/mox/[mox_size]/side_blink3b.png", .25, "sprites/mox/[mox_size]/side_blink2b.png", .10, "sprites/mox/[mox_size]/side_blink1b.png", .10,),
            (0, 0), Animation("sprites/mox/[mox_size]/blink0.png", 9.45, "sprites/mox/[mox_size]/blink1b.png", .10, "sprites/mox/[mox_size]/blink2b.png", .10, "sprites/mox/[mox_size]/blink3b.png", .25, "sprites/mox/[mox_size]/blink2b.png", .10, "sprites/mox/[mox_size]/blink1b.png", .10,),
            (0, 0), "sprites/mox/[mox_size]/[mox_krokhand].png",
            )
        8.50

I've tried this and a few variants to try to move him around.

Code: Select all

        show mox angry:
            yalign -1.60 xalign 1.75 subpixel True alpha 1

            parallel:
                linear .0  zoom 1.0 alpha 1

As well as this:

Code: Select all

show mox angry at moxsword


transform moxsword:
    xalign 0.70 yalign -.80

Short of making an entire new set of sprites for different positions, I cannot think of how to handle this issue? Any thoughts/ help would be greatly appreciated!

Was able to get it to work with:

Code: Select all

        show mox angry:
            ypos 400 xpos 600
