Screen objects do not use pixel_x or pixel_y. There is a special format for screen_loc for pixel offsets.

screen loc only places it by 32's what if i want it to be very specific like when using pixel_y we can put pixel_y -= 12 but when im using screen_loc then its either "1,2" which is going up by 32's

Second and third from last paragraphs of the Reference entry. It's pretty damn explicit.
