Hi,

My "playerSprite" is on "player" layer, parallax (100,100). My "background" layer is set on parallax (100,0).

When I try to create an object from my "playerSprite" position on "player" layer, it works as it's expected.

When I try to create an object from my "playerSprite" position on "background" layer, the object is no created on the actual position of my "playerSprite". It's created above on the Y axis.

Is it normal? If yes, how can I deal with this situation?

Thanks for reading

yes this is expected behaviour..

To get around this there are the expressions:

CanvasToLayerX(layer, x, y)

CanvasToLayerY(layer, x, y)

Calculate the layout co-ordinates underneath a position in canvas co-ordinates for a given layer.

LayerToCanvasX(layer, x, y)

LayerToCanvasY(layer, x, y)

Calculate the canvas co-ordinates above a position in layout co-ordinates for a given layer.

Where do I have to put these expressions?

The action "create object" have three different text fields, and the expressions that you give me include all parameters.
