glitchy add_hex_overlay animation

[ZombieKnight]

Hi,
I have an explosion animation, but it's glitchy(sometimes, at some point stops animating for a while); it behaves the same without ~SCALE.

Code: Select all

wesnoth.interface.add_hex_overlay(x, y, {halo="projectiles/fireball-impact-[1~16].png~SCALE(200,300), misc/blank-hex.png:[60*16,999999]"})

Any idea what causes it?
How to make the animation smoother?

I appreciate any help you can provide.

I have no idea, but that animation is perfect for something else I'm working on. Thanks!

I assume it has something to do with SCALE. As far as I know it is only possible to use overlays and graphics that are 72*72 pixel.
When it gets bigger the graphic glitches.

There are some exceptions, units and terrain can be bigger than 72*72.
See Titan units.

XD, enjoy!

That's quite possible, but it's a core animation and it has 100x150 px by default.
Can I make it more polished somehow?

I mean it's much better when you keep moving with the mouse... why is it so, how to reproduce that thing mouse moving is doing in Lua?

I ran multiple lua wesnoth.interface.add_hex_overlay(42, 23, {halo="projectiles/fireball-impact-[1~16].png~SCALE(200,300):[60*16]"}) over time on same hex and I still dont see anything glitchy.

According to Sevu, it's caused by something like settings, but he doesn't remember...
Do you have any idea what might cause it? (I've tested on 1.16.3 so maybe something was updated since then)
