Hello everyone,

I'm not sure if this belongs here or in the Technical forums, but since this is my first post here, I'll assume I must be a beginner .

What I need to do is adjust my character's position in every frame of his walking animation. It's a way to avoid gliding (the "anti-glide" and "adjust speed according to scale" do help, but they don't work correctly for me). So what I need the script to do is this:

- change the character's position and frame as usual, according to AGS's pathfinding engine.
- notice that the character's position and frame have changed
- change his x and y values depending both on the previous and on the new position
- display the character in his new position

What the script does instead is this:

- change the character's position and frame as usual
- display the character in his new position
- notice that the character's position and frame have changed
- change his x and y values depending both on the previous and on the new position
- display the character in his new position *again*

The result is that the character is constantly shaking - my script for adjusting position works, but not before the character is displayed for a split second in his original position dictated by the AGS engine. Is there a way to make changes to coordinates take place before the game draws the character onscreen?

Thanks for any reply!
