Okay, I can't figure this one out...I've got seeds, and they sprout, but even though I'm getting the posx and posy of the seed and telling the plant to show up there, and they're in the same sprite file and in the same position in the sprite images, the sprouts jump over and sprout at some point off away from the seed instead of sprouting from the seed like good little real-world plants. I tried changing mvsf to mvto and got my new sprouts killed by auto-kill for my trouble. Does the sprout location have something to do with the puhl coordinates on the seed? That's the only thing that's different between the seed sprites and the plant sprites...or is there something else I'm missing? --- Optimist: the glass is half full.

The only time I have really encountered anything like that is if there isn't enough room in that spot for the full grown plant. Then the plant will get pushed to a nearby spot where there is enough room. |

That's because objects are created from the top left-hand corner. So, when you get the posx and posy of the seed, the plant object's top right-hand corner is as close to those coordinates as possible--so it "jumps" to the right. What you need to do is something like:

Aha, light bulb flashes...can't make it so we measure things all the same way, nonono, that would be too simple! Thanks for the example, Liam, that's really helpful. Thanks also for the link, Malkin-- I did not know mvsf is DS-only. Can we just make a rule that everyone must play C3/DS docked-only?  --- Optimist: the glass is half full.

It is?!? Eh, I'm sure I knew that at some point... How many people here still play C3 standalone? I started out doing that, but I almost never do. None of the good agents even inject, and most exports only work for DS. Loving your agents by the way Geek2Nurse. Keep up the great work! (And let me know if you need some webspace to host them.) |

Thanks, Ylukyun! I'm having fun...my mid-life career change from tech to nursing didn't *totally* eliminate my geek side, although it has left me a bit behind the power curve, since I've had to reallocate so many brain cells to nursing knowledge. Thanks for the generous offer! I've got server space, though. Hosted too many family/friends' websites in my tech days to be allowed to let it go, no matter how much I might pretend not to be a geek any more...so it's just a matter of making a site for them to sit in, if it comes to that. As for C3/DS, I've never played it any way but docked, so I'm clueless as to which parts belong to what! --- Optimist: the glass is half full. Pessimist: the glass is half empty.

According to the initial post are both objects of the same size, so this code works fine too while using several lines less. Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... |

I'm one of those people who still uses C3 standalone on a regular basis (to the point where most of my agents work with both games - even the metarooms). As such, I can safely say that "mvsf" is, in fact, a command that works with both games since many of my agents make good use of it. Risen Angel's Creatures Blog |

Good to know, Grendel_Man, thanks! I won't feel guilty for using it now. --- Optimist: the glass is half full. Pessimist: the glass is half empty. Engineer: the glass is twice as big as it needs to be. |

As I said, from the initial post I guessed that they have the same size. EDIT: Aw, too bad, I looked up once more and saw that I probably misunderstood it. My bad, sorry! Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... |
