Snowblossom Wavy Movement for Falling Down?

[mitoky]

Hello!

I am trying to get feathers to fall down. While doing so they are supposed to slightly move left and right like it would be "floating" down while tilting slightly left and right. While the tilting works, i cant get it to move left and right. I am using Snowblossom and atl:

Code: Select all

image feather = Fixed(
    SnowBlossom(At("feather1.png", feather_movement), count=20, xspeed=(0), yspeed=(80, 150), start=20, fast=False, horizontal=False),
    SnowBlossom(At("feather2.png", feather_movement), count=20, xspeed=(0), yspeed=(80, 150), start=20, fast=False, horizontal=False),
    SnowBlossom(At("feather3.png", feather_movement), count=30, xspeed=(0), yspeed=(80, 150), start=30, fast=False, horizontal=False))

Code: Select all

transform feather_movement:
    parallel:
        linear 2.0 rotate -30
        linear 2.0 rotate 30
    parallel:
        ease 2.0 xoffset -300
        ease 2.0 xoffset 300
    repeat

I am new to coding, so either i am thinking too simple or i made a mistake, so i would really appreticiate help!

Well, if you're still looking for the answer (sorry for answering 4 months later), try changing the variable "horizontal" to True.

Code: Select all

image feather = Fixed(
    SnowBlossom(At("feather1.png", feather_movement), count=20, xspeed=(0), yspeed=(80, 150), start=20, fast=False, horizontal=True),
    SnowBlossom(At("feather2.png", feather_movement), count=20, xspeed=(0), yspeed=(80, 150), start=20, fast=False, horizontal=True),
    SnowBlossom(At("feather3.png", feather_movement), count=30, xspeed=(0), yspeed=(80, 150), start=30, fast=False, horizontal=True))

Unfortunally, it doenst work. I appreticiate the help though (:

If I understand that right, you want your images to go left to right, right to left, and then repeat. The problem is SnowBlossom defines a random initial velocity for x and y, so I think you can't just mess with the position of the particles yourself, because the class handles it (I'm not sure though).

I'm pretty sure I could write a class for you to do that, but the new class should be derived from SpriteManager, and I'm just starting to grasp how to work with it, so I'm not so confident yet to share examples. I could try in the near future, though.

That makes sense. Please dont mind it, for now i have something else in my project planned so the issue is not pressing.
However, if you ever happend to find a way, or someone else, then i would appreciate it for future reference. (:
