Using court sprites in an investigation

Post by pantran »

I want to use some of klaviers court sprites in a normal investigation section, but whenever i do it ends up making the sprite slide across the screen into position instead of just changing the sprite.

For example, klav is doing his leaning forward pose, then the next frame i want to use his snapping sprite. When I progress to the next frame, his sprite suddenly teleports to the right, then slides into the center where I've positioned it.

This also affects the reverse. Changing from his snapping sprite to one of his conversation sprites causes the same behaviour to happen with the convo sprite.

Sorry if this was poorly explained, i recorded a video but don't think i can attach it. Thank you!

Could you give me a link to a trial where this occurs, and tell me exactly which frame numbers are the problem? If you can make a minimal trial that displays the issue, that would be most helpful.

Happens after a few frames here.

For my future reference, the problem is in the transition from frame ID 20 to frame ID 19. The minimal working example should just be two frames.

Oh, I hadn't noticed this post. I helped the user elsewhere. Essentially what was happening is that you have a character centred, then you switch their position. When you do this, you're changing the character's position without removing the character so the character slides to the new position. It's always seemed like intended behaviour.

The work around I always use if I don't want sliding is hiding the character before switching their position, so the character pops to the new position instead of sliding.

I do this by:
Frame one: Character is centred.
Frame two: 1ms frame where I hide the character.
Frame three: Add the character back in and change character position to new non-centred position I want them.

Without frame two, the character would slide. With frame two, they just pop in.
