How to position entity image?

Post by ElGaucho »

I just created a mod which derives from the loader entity. One of the differences is, that the new entity is 6 tiles high and 1 tile wide, not 2x1 like the original loader is. The loader is supposed to be aligned at one side, so i've offcentered the entity by setting the selection_box to {{ -0.5, 5 }, { 0.5, 1 }, which does the job. I've added a custom image of, being 32px*192px. However, as the entity is not centered with its selection_box and collision_box, the image is always drawn around the original center, which does not overlap with the entity itself. Is there a possibility to say where the center of the entity is, so that the image is drawn properly ?

I've tried drawing_box, but this has only effect on the small overlay, not the game overlay.

That looks promising! So basically all i need to do is set the shift property to an appropriate value? Awesome!
