Sine + Negative Width

Hi,

When dynamically assigning a negative width/height to an object with the sine behaviour, followed by activated the sine, the negative value resets to the default width/height.

Thanks!

I'm not sure this counts as a bug: the Sine behavior uses the size of the object set in the layout which is positive 128. So it initialises like this:

Create Arrow size 128x128

Initialise Sine behavior, width = 128

Start of layout: set width -128

After 1 second: activate Sine behavior using saved width of 128

I could change it so activating the Sine behavior uses the value at the time of activation, but I feel it's likely this could break existing projects that deactivate and reactivate to "pause" the behavior. So closing as won't fix for now - easy workaround is to set a negative width in the layout view instead of setting on start of layout. Let me know if there's anything else you think should be done about this.

Thanks for the detailed reply - it makes sense why it's not a good idea to fix. As some context this was being used in dynamically created GUI (like pause screens and end of level screens) to create a 'continue arrow' and a 'back arrow'. Hence the flipping.

I can simply use a new sprite or recreate the Sine behaviour. Thanks!
