offset of spells

[Thorn]

Hello guys, im trying to set big spells into player's position. i have tried many different offsets numbers but i can't get it in my position, this is how it looks:

does anyone know how to center it to my pos?

local pos = player:getPosition()
> pos.x = pos.x + 1 or + 2
> pos.y = pos.y + 1 or + 2
testing one per one

 

[Random Number]

local pos = player:getPosition()
> pos.x = pos.x + 1 or + 2
> pos.y = pos.y + 1 or + 2
testing one per one

Any number is considered to always be true, yes even 0, so if pos.x were a negative number or pos.x + 1 equaled to 0, the condition would evaluate to be true.

The or +2 would never execute and if pos.x did not exist or was nil then you would get an error and the script would stop right there.
Same thing goes for pos.y

It is incorrect to say (+ 1 or + 2), when using logical operators we don't use consonants we use variables because consonants values never change. Also this is not how calculations are performed. What is + 2? Where is the rest of the formula?

Maybe our friend @Sarah Wesker intention was to highlight what to "test one per one" not to make logics

ooh so the only way of center it would be by making a spell? is it possible to center it in OB? so that piece of coding wouldn't have to be necessary?

You cannot do it in OB, yet you can do it in OTC.

D;? what do you mean?

 

[margoh]

Before effect is drawn you need to check what size it has and depending on that size calculate how much it should be moved on x's and y's.
