Y value not affect placement in Layout.

[mesoraven]

hey,

so ive been making some small modifications to the Retrodiction theme found here: http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=3199.0

ive added in a space above the games list for the game logo.

ive managed to freely modify every bit of the layout except the indicator circle. i can move it in the x axis but not matter how much i increase the y value its starting position never changes

i only started learning programming about a year ago for fun so its probably just me missing something small but any help would be appriciated.

here is the offending code as far as i can tell.

//Indicator Bar
local indicator_bar = fe.add_image( "images/indicator_bar.png", 21, 240, 12,730 );
local indicator_graph = fe.add_image( "images/indicator_graph.png", 23, 240, 8, 760 );
local indicator_position = fe.add_image( "images/indicator_circle.png", 5, 400, 42, 42 );

Code: [Select]

function on_indextransition( ttype, var, ttime )
{
indicator_graph.height = (indicator_bar.height)/(fe.list.size) * (fe.list.index+1)
indicator_position.y = (indicator_bar.height)/(fe.list.size) * (fe.list.index) +418
indicator_text.y = (indicator_bar.height)/(fe.list.size) * (fe.list.index) + 418
}

fe.add_transition_callback( this, "on_indextransition" )
That's the section of code that moves the circle in the original layout

Awesome thankyou, makes sense now you have pointed it out. obviously its vertical location would be based of the list rather than the objects location

Exactly.

Think I still have an horizontal mod of this I did a while ago somewhere. I'll see if I can find it in case anyone wants it.

EDIT:
Modified code in the "horizontal.txt" attached along with the two images it calls
