character not facing the right location [SOLVED]

[Theme]

I use
player.FaceLocation(x,y);
and at some random places the character doesn't face the right location

Could you give some more code? When does this occur?

Are you sure you don't mix up x and y?

Keep in mind that FaceLocation expects screen coordinates, so if you have a scrolling room, you have to substract GetViewportX and GetViewportY from room coordinates (object coordinates, character coordinates, hotspot walk-to points etc.):

  player.FaceLocation(oDoor.X - GetViewportX(), oDoor.Y - GetViewportY());

i have a scrolling room
i tryed:

guicoinmouseclickx = mouse.x;
guicoinmouseclicky = mouse.y;
and then
player.FaceLocation(guicoinmouseclickx-GetViewportX(),guicoinmouseclicky-GetViewportY());

but it didnt work

Mouse coordinates already are screen coordinates, so you don't have to substract the viewport position for them. Ignore my suggestion then.

To quote [...]:

it worked now:

player.FaceLocation(GetViewportX()+mouse.x,GetViewportY()+mouse.y);

mouse gets screen coordinates and facelocation uses room coordinates
thanks for the help

facelocation uses room coordinates

Not according to the manual, but you're right, it does. Good work!
