Flick	Was just noticing the same thing. Think that was why you were having to use those large pixel_y values in your demo as well. Something's up with it.

Flick	The mob seems to jump upwards at the beginning of the stretchy animation. I'm just using: animate(src, transform=m/o, pixel_y=64, alpha=160, time=10)

FIREking	that looks... like what i've always wanted to see possible...

Bravo1	https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25108410/ iso_spin_test.rar Here's a test thingy I did for isometric maps. Not terribly interesting, but the math was... tricky.

Albro1	Not uploading the files isn't fair.

Nadrew	http://ncomproductions.com/Tanks%202.zip Random fiddling with the system, explosions happen when you shoot the walls. About an hour of work.

So you can't tween the screen_loc?

Sadly no; not at this time. This is not for lack of trying. The problem stems from the way screen_loc is calculated on the client end, which is really unfriendly to the animation process. (atom.text had a similar issue, though for completely different reasons.)

If you want to move a screen object, the best way to do that currently is going to be with transform; the transformation matrix will work no matter what, so you can translate the screen object as needed.

Yeah, I found this out myself, then used transform to get around it:

screen_obj
    parent_type = /atom/movable
    starbackground
        icon = 'starbackground.png'
        screen_loc = "1,1"
        layer = 0
        var
            offset = 0
            moving = TRUE
            screen_obj/second
        proc
            parallax()
                var/matrix/M1 = transform
                var/matrix/M2 = second.transform
                while(moving)
                    sleep(world.tick_lag)
                    if(offset==239)
                        M1.Translate(0,240)
                        M2.Translate(0,240)
                        offset = 0
                    else
                        offset++
                        M1.Translate(0,-1)
                        M2.Translate(0,-1)
                    transform = M1
                    second.transform = M2
        New(var/client/c)
            ..()
            second = new/screen_obj()
            second.icon = src.icon
            second.screen_loc = src.screen_loc
            second.layer = src.layer
            second.transform = matrix(1,0,0,0,1,240)
            c.screen += src
            c.screen += second
            spawn()
                src.parallax()

This creates an endlessly-scrolling background using two 320x240 pixel background objects.

Overall, I'd say the new features are pretty awesome.

Davlin	Is there any documentation on the new features like animate()? The only thing I've seen so far as to how to use is is what's in the code examples from this thread.

Sep 15 2013, 12:42 pm
Ter13	It's all in the BYOND help files if you download the new version.

Super Saiyan X	There's an entry in the reference, along with few entries for the new matrix features. If the entry is not showing up, you might have an issue with your virtualstore: http://www.byond.com/forum/?post=764423#comment2111500

Flick	Unless you have this problem as well... I did. EDIT: Sneaking that edit in there while I'm typing... ;)

Flick	Better beam. Yeah, it's pretty silly and simple, but I like it.
