How to bind a helper to the screen

#1 August 16, 2013, 08:08:51 pm

Happy release for you all!

Hi!
is there a way to make a helper to look similar to the lifebars by binding it to the screen?
I haven't found a way yet, since "posset y" uses the floor of the stage as reference and that way I can't keep it in the place I want regardless of which stage is behind.

I found a way once by using "y = pos y - screenpos y + <displacement>" in a posset. It's the best we can get it to work, it jitters a bit, but it gets the job done

Do you have any idea in which part is it mentioned?

No thats not it, it wasnt on this website.
He wrote about how he created his game, his custom tag system and how he coded his lifebars as helpers.
Another member here mentioned it not to long ago, i cant even find the article.
Should probally ask RedNavi about it.

Accomplished many things you can't comprehend.

[state 0, posset]
type = posset
trigger1 = 1
x = (screenpos x) + 160 ;<--- adjust the values to your likings. negative values works also
y = (screenpos y) + 120 ;<--- adjust the values to your likings. negative values works also
ignorehitpause = 1

or in an explod

[state 0, explod]
type = explod
trigger1 = 1 && !numexplod(whatever)
anim = whatever
id = whatever
postype = left
pos = 160,120
bindtime = -1
ignorehitpause = 1

that's what i ended up doing. thanks!
The only thing I didn't manage to do was to make it appear over the stage sprites with high sprpriority. Te limit of sprpriority on helpers seems to be 5 and it doesn't work for that. psss!

only explods will overlap stage sprites using ontop = 1 and there is really no limit to the sprpriority values. its just listed as 5 through -5.

This is just a thought, but wouldn't using X = 0 mean always centered on the stage? Or Does it differ depending on the screen size, which is the reason for screenpos X?

to a certain extent, yeah. but screenpos binds helpers to a position better IMO.

But I prefer 1.1's CameraPos over ScreenPos.

So what would happen if you just used screenpos X alone? What's the +160 serve for the X position adjustment? Would ScreenPos X alone just bind them to the far left or far right of the screen, while + 160 puts them at the center starting from the far left/right?
