Properties for Scroll To ?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Is there a plan to add some properties to the Scroll to Behavior? Im thinking about a delay. That the "camera" feels more realistic.

Example:
Player is not moving: Camera is on Player
Player starts moving...
1..2. Camera is following 

Would be a nice feautere.

	Yeah, a nice lag and custom scroll speed would be useful.
	Oh, look a breakout clone!

	This is something you could(should ?) make in events. Instead of having the "scroll to" behavior on the character itself, put it on some sprite ("camera" for example) that you set to invisible. From here you can set events specificaly for the camera. Some ticks you will want the camera to be placed at your character's position, some ticks you will want it elsewhere. Example of some camera delay From there, it's up to you to tweak your way and find the nicest/smoothest implementation possible.

	It did a similar thing here, created a sprite as a camera and used that as a scroll to, i set it like an adventure game, so it goes from screen to screen. I left the camera slightly visible so you can see it. What i did was an event that if player x => camera x+300 then set camera x to camera x + 640 and obviously if its =< -300 then it goes back. see the efect here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/44766364/Games/M2S%20Test/index.html Edited by tonycrew - 10 Nov 2011 at 11:28pm

	I used to use this method in MMF. A camera plugin like the one in CC would be awesome though.
