Oof yeah sorry about that. There's an undocumented option that defaults to true that you have to add to turn off the 'flipping':
try adding can_flip: false
eventdescription:
type: DynamicFancyText
#label: 'Description '
data_label: event_description
label_color: red
value_color: white
font_name: 5x7.bdf
dx: 1
ticks_per_movement: 5
can_flip: false
Ah, i love undocumented features. Now the issue i am having is when i make dx 0 or when i comment it out, i don't get my eventdescription sprite. Setting it to -1 provides the behavior i am looking for. Bug?
Yeah I need to do a doc update for sure.
dx is supposed to mean "change in x per tick" so 0
would mean motionless (you'd have to set x
and y
to something more than 0 sometimes to see the sprite. -1
means it moves but in the opposite direction.
Hi Nick!
Fully understood. I thought that dx was indicating direction of motion and not "change in x per tick". Maybe I got thrown off-guard by the default value of 0 which, as I understand now, means no motion at all. Have you considered changing the default value to 1 so the sprite at least moves when dx and dy are used?
Ton.

So dx seems to be simple:
So why is my text scrolling from left to right and back from right to left no matter what i set the parameter to?
