[Solved]Screen vs entity position?

[Zefk]

Is there a formula I could use to calculate screen image x,y coordinates to the entity position? For example, drawing an image at the hero. I am not sure that entity:get_position() is related to this because is not that position different than image x,y coordinates?

I think getting the position of the entities with entity:get_position() only works for drawing if your map is 320 x 240. It has to be the same as the quest size.

I am not really sure how to solve this. There might need to be drawing checks as the map scrolls. Some calculations would work until the hero starts in a location where the map scrolls.

Maybe @Diarandor or Christopho knows?

entity:get_position() give coordinates relative to the map. You can find coordinates relative to the screen if you just subtract the camera position.

That was the first thing I tried because I saw it in the Children of Solarus game_over.lua script. It seems I forgot to repeat my timer when checking my script, so a mistake on my part. Thank you Christopho and Zutokaza for the assistance. My script works perfectly now.
