SmartScrolling-Script updated

[a-v-o]

As someone had problems with the older version, I looked into the script and into the help file and realized that CJ added a roomwidth variable. So I changed the script.

Also changed: It can be defined how far the room should scroll. In the script I used 3/4 of the screen width.

what's scroll mul and scroll div?

here's a trick I learned:

while(character[GetPlayerCharacter()].walking) {
 SmartScrolling();
 Wait(1);
}

I also had a problem (the room after a blocking walk scrolled back to where the char was ) I don't know if that's fixed in the new version. Is it?

what's scroll mul and scroll div?

In the previous script when the scrolling finished then the character was in the middle of the screen. After walking over less than half of the screen scrolling started again. With mul/div you can adjust the position. With mul/div = 1/2 the character will be in the middle of the screen. With mul/div = 3/4 it will end so that if the character continues its way then it can walk over about 3/4 of the screen before scrolling starts again. Just try out 1/2 and 3/4 to see the difference.
(btw: 2/4 = 1/2 = 3/6 = ...)

I also had a problem (the room after a blocking walk scrolled back to where the char was ) I don't know if that's fixed in the new version. Is it?

As repeatedly_execute isn't called during the execution of a blocking function, the SmartScrolling won't work. Better use a non-blocking function and netmonkey's script.

Anyone have this?

Google Searched for it, SmartScrolling.txt

Please help!

There is a version of the code on this page:
http://ags.slaveinostudios.com/tips.html

Apparently it might not be the final one that was here, and a bit buggy but i haven't tried it.

[Jodo Kast]

Thanks for your prompt reply.

That's the one I found, so I will keep checking back to see if there's an advanced version.

EDIT: I found the Parallax plugin so I'll try that, but if the homepage for a-v-o is correct, his stuff was deleted because of too much bandwidth!  Hope I'm wrong about that.

Thanks again!

  None has succeded in downloading the script and can put it somewhere in his homepage??
