layeredimage moves to the left, when ATL image added

[rururubell]

I want to add some animated emotion icons for my sprites. If I add simple animated icon like those:

Code: Select all

image Micro_Emo_Angry_Animated:
    "Micro_Emo_Angry_01"
    0.5
    "Micro_Emo_Angry_02"
    0.5
    repeat

It works well. But when I add this image with ATL to my layeredimage sprite:

Code: Select all

image Micro_Emo_Drop_Animated:
    contains:
        alpha 0.0
        "Micro_Emo_Drop"
        parallel:
            ease 1.0 ypos 30
        parallel:
            ease 0.6 alpha 1.0

The whole sprite moves to the left. I add these emo icons in sprite like this:

Code: Select all

    group micro_emo:
        pos( 100, 100 )
        attribute Micro_Angry:
            "Micro_Emo_Angry_Animated"
            #zoom 0.58

        attribute Micro_Drop:
            "Micro_Emo_Drop_Animated"
            #zoom 0.58

I also try to use xpos, ypos. But it not works too. Sprite shows correctly with Micro_Angry but moves left with Micro_Drop

It seems that images in ATL animations inherit properties from each other, such as positions, offsets etc. I had unexpected results trying to build animations from several pictures, with different offsets etc., spending whole day, until I got advice to use images of the same size.

So maybe that's the case with your images. Try to use them of the same size and account for possible side-effects like when you set an offset to one image, the next would start with the same.

(Maybe there are other ways but I haven't found them yet.)
