screenx/y() bug?
 

Ok. I'm trying to use screenx(x,y) & screeny(x,y) to display 3 images above an npc precisely (pixel-wise), and i'm experiencing 2 problems.
1) It doesn't work serverside
2) It returns negative values, even when the x/y I specified is clearly in my screen range.

Im also using setshape2 if it matters.

EDIT: strange, it only shows it incorrectly when its used in the if created event, I used it in a timeout loop & the numbers were correct @_@.

Hey guy, why not just use a complimentary gani? Like the stuff over the guy's head in the tutorial.

Uhm, why use screenx/y for exact displaying of stuff?

that isn't my point anymore, now its just the fact that they're returning invalid values within the created event >.>
I'd edit the post, but I can't.

It is always fun to give some code illustrating the problem.

Put the npcs right in front of each other, make sure they'll be displayed on your screen when you press play/enter the level.

Example of bug:
if (created){
setimg block.png;
setcharprop #c,#v(screenx(x+3,y)) - #v(screeny(x,y));
}

Example of it working:
if (created) {
timeout=.05;
}
if (timeout){
setimg block.png;
setcharprop #c,#v(screenx(x+3,y)) - #v(screeny(x,y));
timeout=.05;
}

It is because Graal takes a minute (well, .05 seconds to be percise) to load the screenx\y variables.

Try the code to test my theory

NPC Code:

---

if (created) {

sleep.05;



setimg block.png;

setcharprop #c,#v(screenx(x+3,y)) - #v(screeny(x,y));

}

Works, but its a bug nonetheless. :x
