Problems with Scaling hanging Sprites in Zdoom

[Starke Von Oben]

Hi,

I have a sprite that's 128 x 182 that I want to be hanging from the ceiling. I want it scaled down to 0.3, and everything works fine until I walk around the sprite and I realize it's "moving" around the ceiling above.

Here's the DECORATE code:


actor ElectricLight 10247
{
height 72
radius 51
scale 0.3
+SPAWNCEILING
+NOGRAVITY
states
{
Spawn:
ELIG A 10
}

}

Are there limits with scaling?

It's more likely to be an offset issue with the sprite graphic. From memory, the Y offset of a hanging sprite needs to be the same as the height of the actor (72 in your case). How that is affected by scaling, I don't know. It works for unscaled sprites. Also, make sure that the X offset correctly centres the sprite. It sounds from your description like that could be wrong too.

Figured it out - just a matter of trail and error.

Thanks Enjay :D
