Title: Cutscene - Moving the Background
Post by: Revan on Tue 07/02/2006 11:50:06
Hi Im gonna make a cutscene where a knight is riding on a horse (Gonna do it all 'in game') was wondering if it was posible to make the character of Knoght on horse move (Actually staying still in the midle of the screen but the BG movin (The scooby doo effect if you will))

Very easily:

1) Have the knight animate in position (Character.Animate(..)), and animate the background. Yes, you only have 5 frames to use, but that'll heighten the Scooby Doo, cheap animation effect.

Or,
2) Make a long, scrolling room and actually MOVE the knight. As long as there's enough of the background left (more than half a screen width), the BG will move and the knight will stay in the center.
