MapWorld SuperClass

Thank you but I can't solve my problem with the scaling because the actor's look bad when they are scaled different. I did not notice it here because they are small enough :) Need to find another way and I will probably, like always, pick the most time consuming one.

@Super_Hippo, if your images are stretching or having slices taken out of them, it is probably because you are re-scaling your images. Always start with an unscaled image and scale it immediately to the size you need. Let us say the image for one of your actors is in a file called "player.png". [code]// save a copy of original image in an instance object field private GreenfootImage image; // in the constructor of that object image = new GreenfootImage(getImage()); // when changing the scale of the image public void scaleImage(double zoom) { GreenfootImage img = new GreenfootImage(image); img.scale((int)(zoom*img.getWidth()), (int)(zoom*img.getHeight())); setImage(img); }[/code]If scaling the image once when the object is being created, just move the code from the scaleImage method to the constructor, supplying the absolute zoom value needed.

I have exactly this elephant in my game, but it looks bad when it is bigger. Oh and by the way, looks like I did not make that clear, sorry! "I can't solve my problem with the scaling" did not mean that I have a problem with the scaling. It actually meant that I have a problem and wanted to solve it with scaling the images of the actor to a square. But as I said, that did not look well. Then I saw the method drawImage(), so the next idea was, I give the actors an empty image (a square) and draw the other image above that. But that just did not work... Why do I want that square? With a square it would be easier to let the actor know if there is a wall or something right next to it. I have moving AI too, but i decided that one cell has 51 * 51 pixels and not just one. And it looks like that the method getOneObjectAtOffset(dx,dy,class) does not try to find the class from the middle of the picture + dx/dy, because if it would, every class should work with the same values, but they do not. But I think I am fine, I always have some problems that I can not solve. Then I try to find another way to do exactly the same with often 20 times as much source code. As long as it works then, it is good.

@Super_Hippo, When setting an image for the class (by right clicking on the class in the class tree at the right of the scenario window and selecting 'Set image...', click on the image at the left and then at the bottom of the selection window click on the tool icon (gear), then select 'Create new image...' and select the size.

@Super_Hippo, I am moving this 'discussion' to a new Discussion thread and calling it 'On scaling problem'. Please refer to it.
