X and Y placement(RESOLVED)

[C.C. rOyAl]

im tryin to design a hud for the Blizz-ABS and i was wondering, is there a way to tell where the x and y coordinates are. This is probably one of the most confusing parts to me in RGSS.

X and Y coordinates of what?

Be more specific please.

[C.C. rOyAl]

like just x and y coordinates in general, is there an easy way to  tell what coordinates put things such as hp bars and stuff. or do u just play around with it until u get it where u want it

Do you know what pixels are?
Each one on the screen is basically a coordinate.

So people usually just open up and image editting program to find the coordinates, since the programs display them.

ooooooohhhhhh i seeee, stupid me 
thanks aqua u may close this topic now

for reference the game screen is 640 pixels wide and 480 tall, pixel (0, 0) in the top left corner. negative values and values of (681 for x 481 for y) or above are off the screen.

Yes, and there are 20 x 15 of them, Battlebacks are 640 x 300 or something, icons are 24 x 24, and forever and ever we can list things. I think he gets how to use Paint/"Properties" now.

battlebacks are 640*320 i think.
