So im trying to make a graf, move it's x coords at the same speed to where the player is moving, making it not able to go offscreen.

However using the solo "speedX/Y" values included is not accurate to the player speed for some reason, & using the included "x/y" values makes it vanish completely, & trying to use the v.parameter stuff seems to not make the extra-setting code set not work at all.

Is there any better method on doing the title above?

if i'm understanding you correctly, you want the graf to follow the player's position, right? you might want something like this:

Code: Select all

x = max(npc.sectionObj.boundary.left, min(npc.sectionObj.boundary.right - npc.width, (player.x + player.width * 0.5 - npc.width * 0.5))) - npc.spawnX;
y = 0;

just make sure to have the following inside the graf's npc config file:

Code: Select all

setpos=0
blocks=0
relativecoords=0

if you want something more involved (such as, the graf has a smooth transition to the player's x coordinate instead, or it continues moving), that's going to be more complex and might require additional lua
