Single File Multi-Tile overlay

Okay, so I'm trying to use a 96x32 icon as an overlay rather than making 3 seperate icons and coding them all just next to each other, but whenever the overlay is activated, it's automatically at the right most position rather than the middle. So like this O=overlay P=person X=blank

XXXXX
XXPXX
XXOOO

Is there a way to have it set in the middle?

is your person that big?, you might have to move your icon over a few pixels.

Well the character is a single tile.

The overlay is 3 tiles, but I can't get the overlay to move over 1 so that my person is in the middle of it

Paste your code, even though i doubt it's code problem, maybe your overlay and person aren't alined.

Did you do src.overlays + = 'youriconhere.dmi'

Use pixel_x and pixel_y.

switch(alert("Unleash Force?","Yes or No?","Unleash","Keep In"))

if("Unleash")
if(src.force_on)

if(src.stance)
src.overlays += stance_force
src.force_on = 1

src.overlays += Fremd_force
src.aura_on = 1

if("Keep In")
src.overlays -= stance_force
src.overlays -= Fremd_force
src.force_on = 0

It doesn't seem to move it over a spot, it just moves the pixels

That's what it's suppose to do. Keep using it until you get the pixel where you want them. What would be more helpful for us to understand is if you post a screenshot.

I tried Pixel_x, it doesn't seem to be doing what it's supposed to though

try spliiting it into 3 parts 32 x 32 each, coding one under you and the other 2 on the side of you.

Also, as a slightly unrelated comment, you need to become friends with HTML.

Engulf your code in [dm] [/dm] tags (the <font color = red>[</font> symbol being <font color = cyan><</font>, <font color = red>]</font> being <font color = cyan>></font>.

When using an image link, take the website name (http://webs.com) and display it like so:

[img src = "website name here"]

pixel_x is doing exactly what it's supposed to. Perhaps you need to read the Reference entry so you actually know what it's supposed to do?
