anim anchor and stretch only work for one size

Open devakm opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

The anim fixes in 0.14.10 do seem to select a size closer to the Dist calc, which is great. Sadly, the anchor and stretch args only seem to be useful for specific sizes, which means you can't get an animation to connect between source and target reliably if you use the auto-calculated size selection.

For example, if I test and find that

/anim FireBolt*Regular_Orange -0.2 +0.7

connects reasonably at one range, it looks like it misses the target at another range.

Maybe this is why auto-calculated size selection in 0.14.9 was strangely always trying to just stretch a mid-range file rather than actually picking an appropriate size?

It seems like in 0.14.10 the only solution is to specify the size you want. This at least connects caster and target, but it results in the same strange stretching we had in earlier versions without specifying a size (since it was usually picking the same size).

The offsets may need to be tweaked to better match the different sizes, as suggested by Nose66: https://discord.com/channels/228546929494065152/788878698349723669/1017975754748874823
