Title: Camera Movement
Post by: Steel Drummer on Sat 01/07/2006 21:45:11
How do I pan down/up/left/right with a camera type thing like they have in LucasArts games? I looked around the forums but couldn't find anything.

i dont understand, lucasarts didnt do camera panning or whatever, i dont think so anyway.

do you mean scrolling rooms?
if you mean scrolling rooms then just make the image bigger than the specified screen resolution.

You probably want the SetViewport (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/manual/SetViewport.htm) command, if you want to scroll independant of the player character. You could try a forum search for 'Scrolling' or 'Panoramic Scrolling' - although I'm not sure if this is what you want. If SetViewport() doesn't work out, could you be a little clearer on what you do want?
