Peeking On stage?

For one of the many victory poses/intro's i have worked up i require a sprite of another affiliated character to look on from outside the screen area, as you may have geussed this is proving annoying to a newcomer like myself.

since the position of my fighter changes as i play through, ending up with a victory animation playing in the middle of the screen rather than just off screen peering inwards.


Is there anyway to fix this? so the sprites FIXED to the side of the entire screen whenever the animation plays

If it's a helper, it'll have to be rebound all the time using posadd or posset

if it's an explod using a postype of front, back, left or right with a bindtime of -1 will give you the results you want.


In M.U.G.E.N there is no magic button

They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it's not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.

I tried that out and i'm still having some trouble with this, here's the code below, sorry if it's sloppy
It's my first time so i'm still a bit clueless about some things

Sorry if i sound like an utter noob  :-\

well you're missing Y pos in the pos setting.

Have you posted that to ask "is this right" Is anything actually going wrong. Nothing's going to destroy your computer if you put that in. It's either going to work or it isn't that's all that really COUNTS.

Noone normal will care if it's "not the super optimised correct most up to date way of doing it" it only matters that it works properly.

And don't come back with "it isn't working either"

Yes i was just asking if it was right, and seeing how i may fix it,
I'm afraid i'm not that good at the coding yet so i'm just getting my bearings.

Well generally if something is right, it works. The best way to check this, and the one that teaches you the most, is to stick it in and try and get it working.

Otherwise all you're really doing is putting in code tidbits that we tell you to. Essentially, we're coding it, and you're doing monkey work.

Get into the habit of trying stuff out. Not being experienced isn't important. All you have to do is play as the character, see if it works, and tweak it. Often times if you can't see something at first, change it so it's in a place where it HAS to appear and you know it will show up there, and work backwards.
