Sprite Mover
Version 1.0
by Woratana
Release Date: 02/06/2008


Introduction
This is a little snippet I wrote for my project.
It's to fix the problem that sprite is too high or too low for the tiles behind.

I actually ran into this problem when I'm trying to put stuffs in 1 block height of cave's ground.
So I think to use script is easier than edit the sprite image~

Enjoy~


Screenshots

The red fire use Sprite Mover, the blue fire doesn't~


Script
Place it above main
 VX_SpriteMover10.txt ( 2.18K ) Number of downloads: 351




Instruction
In the event page that you want to move sprite, add comment:

MOVE x_plus, y_plus

** x_plus: how many pixel you want to move sprite horizontally
(- number: move left | + number: move right)
** y_plus: how many pixel you want to move sprite vertically
(- number: move up | + number: move down)

For example, add comment:

MOVE 0, -20

to move sprite up 20 pixel~

Wow, this will really help maps look a lot nicer! And like you said, it is easier than editing the sprite itself. Thanks, Woratana!

This adds a lot more realism to maps..... great idea!
Very usefull for forests and other places with a lot of misc. stuff on the ground...

EDIT: Does it movethe whole event, or only the graphic? (Like if you move it more than 32 pixels, do you use it at the original position, or where the graphic is then placed?

It's not pixelmovement. so it will move only graphic.

And if you want to move event 32 pixel, you can just move it to other block. Don't need this script.

Yes, I know that, but I mean it as a 'what if' scenario... an example....
But you just answered my question, so I understand it now

This is great, less work to do on mapping now

[Mr_E_Man]

This is like an absolute must for mapping with VX.

So, this is really just about my favorite script for the time it saves me editing sprites, but may I suggest one thing?

CODE

def comment?(comment, return_index = false )    
    if !@list.nil?
      for i in 0...@list.size - 1
        next if @list[i].code != 108
        s = @list[i].parameters[0]
        s.upcase!
        if s.include?(comment)
          return [true, i] if return_index
          return true
        end
      end
    end
    return [false, nil] if return_index
    return false
  end
end

Replacing this function (only three lines really) will make it case insensitive. I found myself typing "move" a lot. Thanks for the script.
