Drawmethod Clip about openbor HOT 7 CLOSED

More info:
When you use a Drawmethod Clip, you can't chance the entity facing because it gets ignored and its always facing right. It you use changeentityproperty, it won't work.

Please be more specific. Is the entity direction not changing or is the clipping?

The clipping effect isn't supposed to change direction because it doesn't have a direction. It's just a vector based effect applied as the entity is displayed. You have to do the math work yourself for left and right.

The entity. It always shows facing right. If you apply a negative x velocity, it will move left, but the graphic is still facing right. But I think its related to what you had explained at CC:

As per universal coding practices, graphic effects are based on screens, not entities. There's no direction flipping. They just do exactly what you tell them, no more or less.

About the other issue, do you think its possible to fix?

from openbor.

this is not an issue. shadow is not a sprite for your drawmethod.
if you want a clipped shadow, you need to script a custom shadow with drawmethod.

@whitedragon0000 ok about the shadow. But and about the mirror effect?

from openbor.

@dbaldan Mirror effect works the exact same way as shadow, and consequently shares the same behaviors. To clip, or perform other complex drawing methods, you have to script your own mirror effect. It's actually a lot easier than it sounds. Same principal as drawing shadow trails.

@DCurrent I see. Thanks for the explanation.
