The moveX method¶
| Syntax: | moveX(
number x,
number time,
bool shouldBlock,
Interpolator interpolator = Interpolator.easeInOut
)
|
|---|---|
| Returns: | nil |
Most of the time you will only need to move the character sprite horizontally.
This method allows you to move the character sprite along the x axis. The final
y position of the movement will be automatically calculated so that the bottom
of the sprite is aligned with the bottom of the screen.
Parameters¶
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| number | x | The x location of the position you want the sprite to move to |
| number | time | The duration in seconds of the movement animation |
| bool | shouldBlock | Whether or not this animation should be a blocking transition |
| Interpolator | interpolator | Interpolator function to use |
Remarks¶
The exact pixel of the image that lands in the provided position is called the origin. The origin of character sprites is located at the bottom center of the sprite.
Warning
While this method allows you to use non-integer coordinates, keep in mind that if a sprite is not aligned with the pixel grid it will look blurry due to anti-aliasing.
Examples¶
-- Define a character sprite and make it visible
sakura = CharacterSprite.new("sakura1.png")
sakura:show("smiling")
-- Move the sprite from its current position to x=80 using an ease-in-out interpolation
-- This animation will have a duration of 1 second and will be a blocking transition
sakura:moveX(80, 1, true)
-- Move the sprite to x=500 using an ease-out interpolation
-- This animation will have a duration of 1 second and will be a non-blocking transition
sakura:moveX(500, 1, false, Interpolator.easeOut)
