The Exact Center

[Kyranki]

I've had a LOT of different people tell me different ways to get the exact center of the player. Now, of all that I've heard I know it's either one of two ways:

PHP Code:

temp.centerx = player.x + 1.5;
temp.centery = player.y + 2; 


Or....

PHP Code:

temp.centerx = player.x + 0.5;
temp.centery = player.y + 1.5; 


Which is it, this has confused me for so long...?

It depends on where you want the 'center' of the player. The x is always player.x+1.5, but the y, I usually prefer it in the center of the body, not the whole player.
The 'size' of the player is 3x3, this is shown in Graalshop by the 48x48 pixel box. Now, if you mean the center of that, then it's player.x+1.5 and playery+1.5, but I prefer player.x+1.5 and playery+2(or 2.5), which is near the center of the player's body.

Zeo knows the exact center of the player apparently...it's like a f'ing long decimal

So if you wanted the exact center of a player.

Center X - player.x + 1.5
Center Y - player.y + 2

Because I want the center of the body.

Uh, no its not. The player is 3x3 tiles (48x48 pixels). The center would be at 24x24 pixels and 1.5x1.5 tiles from the origin. There is no super-long number concerning it.

Ya, but you can tag on a .25-.5 to the Y, depending on your preference.

your words are just too exact for me... xD

While testing....

PHP Code:

  temp.cx = player.x + 1.5;
  temp.cy = player.y + 1.75; 


Is moreso the center of the player, directly under the chin of the head so it's quite considered the center of the Graal body considering the size and proportions of the body.

Not the center of the actual player, but the center of the actual body. Which I would think is the same thing, but apparently not. z.z

For stuff like baddies(where you want them to aim at the body), I'd say y+2 would be much more appropriate. But it really doesn't matter, but I personally think 1.75 is a little bit too above the body.

I checked 1.5 and was hoping it'd be 'center-ish' however it was too high, and I feel like 1.75 is perfect as I feel 2 is too low. Besides, I'm not even checking for baddy hits. I'm going something else along the lines of that with it/

PHP Code:

temp.cx = player.x + 1.46875;
temp.cy = player.y + 1.96875; 


uhm?

Yep

The blocking part of "showcharacters" and players is x=0.5, y=1, width=2, height=2, so the center would be x=1.5 and y=2
