CloseI'm new to RPG Maker VX Ace, I'm starting to understand how scripting works, but I'm not yet familiar with all the different possible 'calls'. I'm currently experimenting with building an action game using Khan's Pixel Movement Script, and Cidiomar Collision Detection. While most of the features are coming along pretty well, I've run into a issue using a picture as an arrow to attack enemies. Rm2k3 featured a simple checkbox which made a picture "scroll with the map", it appears to be absent in VX Ace. While there are a couple solutions out there for people who want to fix a static image to the map, I'm trying to have the arrow fly out from the player and move across the game world. The issue appears while the screen scrolls for maps larger than 17 x 13, the picture's movement fails to compensate for player's movement around a map, and the result is an aesthetic blunder.
Here you can see the problem at work. The arrow follows the player up into the bridge when it should be 3 tiles below.
Here you can see the little bit of progress I made, the picture scrolls with the map, but fails to sync with the player's coordinates.
Below is my attempt at modifying the script used for fixing static images to the map.

Try the FA interactive system instead. I'm not sure it will work.

That has some cool stuff in it, and some awesome scripts to pull ideas from, but I didn't see anything that would help this specific issue.
However I did get a little closer with this.
It uses an event as a reference and modifies the picture's xy relative to the player's distance from the arrow's initial starting point. It still causes some wonky little issues at the points where the map will begin to scroll, the image will jerky around. I feel like there has to be an easier and more effective way.

if @picture.name.include?("arrow")
$game_variables = $game_map.display_x #probe value of display_x
$game_variables = $game_map.display_y #probe value of display_y
if ($game_map.display_x > 0) && ($game_map.display_x < 11)
self.x = @picture.x + ($game_map.events.screen_x) - ($game_player.screen_x)
end
if if ($game_map.display_y > 0) && ($game_map.display_y < 9)
self.y = @picture.y + ($game_map.events.screen_y) - ($game_player.screen_y)
end
