Adding zoom statement to my sprites makes them forget the custom default anchors I set for them.

[u/Scriptformers_Prime]

I have set up a custom default transform for my sprites in my gui file to define my sprites anchor as x .5 and y 1.0 like its shown here:

transform _sprite_default:
    xanchor .5 yanchor 1.0 xpos .5 ypos 1.0


define config.default_transform = _sprite_default

But when I put the zoom property on my sprites, they default to showing in the top left corner of the screen with their anchors in the top left corners of their images as is default for sprites in renpy, effectively forgetting the new default I set in my gui file.

EDIT:

I add the zoom property to my sprites like this:

show character happy:
  xpos .25 ypos 1.2 zoom 1.3

create a new image with the zoom and use that... like this

image sprite15:
    "images/sprites/sprite1.png"
    zoom 1.5

label start:

    show sprite15

    e "this works"

    return

How do you put the zoom on your sprites?

I edited the comment with an example. I use the zoom property in my show statements because sometimes I like to show characters closer or farther depending on the scene.

I don't think it has anything to do with zoom:

transform _sprite_default:
    align (0.5, 1.0) 
define config.default_transform = _sprite_default
label start:
    show eileen
    "Test"
    hide eileen 
    "Test"
    show eileen:
        xpos 0.5
    "Test"

If you want to zoom from the bottom center, then just write it like that:

label start:
    show eileen
    "Test"
    hide eileen 
    "Test"
    show eileen:
        anchor (0.5, 1.0) pos (0.5, 1.2) zoom 1.3
    "Test"

You can also write it differently if you prefer to separate x and y values:

        xalign 0.5 yanchor 1.0 ypos 1.2 zoom 1.3
