Use Calculations on hitlog position

[wotpt.tk]

I used some calculations to position some elements.

    "elements": [{
      "leftPanel": { "_y": 5 },
      "rightPanel": { "_y": 5 },
      "debugPanel": { "_x": "leftPanel._x + 325", "_y": 10 },
      "battleTimer": { "_x": "rightPanel._x - 150", "_y": 4 }
    }],

I have tried to do this on the Hitlog as:

    "y": "rightPanel._y + 150"
or
    "y": "HEIGHT - 10"

But nothing seems to work

The only thing that works is

    "y": 740

The idea is to make my xvm "compatible" with multiple screen resolutions, so people dont have to edit it to match their resolution.

 

Is this kind of calculation possible on hitlog? and if it is... what am i doing wrong?

no

And why don´t the negative numbers work as they should?

    "x": -50
    "y": -50

Using this should return a position of 1870x1150 on a 1920x1200 resolution.

 they work in appropriate way only when launching with xvm-stat

work.

I use xvm-stats and if i define a X or Y as -50 for example, it disappears from the screen. It goes to -50 instead of going to maximum X or Y - 50

 

Using this should return a position of 1870x1150 on a 1920x1200 resolution.

And it really return this position.

I tried

"y": -10,

"y": "-10",

 

nothing works.. the hitlog just disappears.

try to use @delay command:

{

  "@delay": 100,

  "hitlog": { "_y" : "rightPanel._y + 150" }

}

smth like this

if @delay will not work, you can also try to use "@interval"

Im sorry .... i have the log "upsidedown"

The header is on the bottom and the new lines are added to the top of the header.

 

So i had to put

    "y": -270,

because i have

    "h": 270,

Is the top of the square that counts and not the header... sorry for my noob mistake :)

 

And thank you all for the help
