Can't move Overlay text outside the screen

[tiagocorreia]

I've a room which is very large (more then 800px), and I've created an Overlay of Text outside the screen, that for some reason it doesn't appear outside the screen.

Try this

Code: ags

o =  Overlay.CreateTextual(-10, 100, 100, 1, 15, "teste");  

I've tried this, and if I move later, then it reposition the overlay ok.

Code: ags

o.X = -10;

Is this a bug?

Heh, this is actually a "hidden feature" whereby passing a negative number for the X co-ordinate will centre the overlay on the screen instead.

I'm not sure whether I should fix this, just in case anyone is relying on it working this way...

Maybe you could create an Overlay.Centre() function and fix it?

I guess you should give. It's really an hidden feature.
