Problems and Tacos:
I want to make a plane of screen objects that I can translate over the map. The end goal is to be able to group screen objects and move the groups independently. I'm trying to do this by grouping hud objects into planes, and then applying a Translation transformation to the plane master.
If you run the test above (supplying appropriate icons) you'll see the problem. As the plane is moved north, the lower portion of the plane objects begin to disappear.
This can be countered by changing the screen_loc of the plane master (uncomment the noted line). However, this causes the problem of adding a large border to the bottom of the map. Adding TILE_BOUND to the plane master's appearance_flags has no effect.
Any ideas?
