[BUG] Nested AFTs scale actors in odd ways. #669

Closed EngineMachiner closed 5 months ago

EngineMachiner commented 1 year ago

This has been an issue I've seen for some time but wasn't sure if should report it. I'm currently on latest Steam release. (20230307)

Context: bitEye is a library I made to preview BGA's and backgrounds and have quick access on ScreenEdit for charters. It previews backgrounds creating an AFT texture and works fine until the scripts of a BGA contain AFTs (like beat4sprite scripts). So it becomes a case of an AFT within an AFT and it ends up scaling the actors in unexpected ways.

Pay attention to the green overlay. https://i.imgur.com/FD8At99.png (when the AFT texture is invisible or alpha 0) https://i.imgur.com/tIRR5yR.png (when the AFT texture is visible)

do you have the code for this library? how does it set up the aft?

This is a way to show them up: https://github.com/EngineMachiner/bitEye/blob/outfox/_fallback/Modules/bitEye/Window/Textures/AFT.lua https://github.com/EngineMachiner/bitEye/blob/outfox/_fallback/Modules/bitEye/Window/Textures/AFT-Children.lua

I have run some tests and I have noticed that it has to do with the main AFT having different dimensions / size compared to the nested ones dimensions makes the actors move and scale in different ways.

EngineMachiner commented 1 year ago

Ok, it seems fine if you keep the AFTs size within screen size, if not then comparing SCREEN_WIDTH 2, SCREEN_HEIGHT 2 to SCREEN_WIDTH and SCREEN_HEIGHT there is an offset in position and scaling.

Sudospective commented 1 year ago

to me that sounds like the aft context is bigger than the sprite its displaying on, which sounds like its doing what i would expect it to do, it may not be a bug if this is the case

EngineMachiner commented 1 year ago

Indeed, I just put the BUG tag because I wasn't sure. I basically am using the same screen size for these cases so I don't have to deal with the offset but I wanted to report it to check up the intended behaviour or what alternatives there are.

Can you confirm this is still an issue for me?

EngineMachiner commented 5 months ago

I just did the tests on latest test build and the green overlay of the pics I posted doesn't seem to be offset or scaled anymore and the actors seem to be positioned according to their own AFT. Good job. We can close this now.
