Shake screen while moving

[Angelo Caprio]

Hi I'm making a new game I want in one part of my game there is a earthquake
and I want the screen to shake, but still make the player able to walk when clicked

You don't have to give me the script if there is.... otherwise just point me in the right direction anyway will be appreciated
 
 Sorry if I had some spelling mistakes I'm 14
   
   by the way if this is supposed to be posted in the beginners section let me know and sorry if it should

You can shake the screen manually using the SetViewport() command.

Say your game is 320x200 and you have a room that's three screens wide (960x200). What you do is make the background a few pixels taller, say 960x210, then use manual scrolling for the viewport's x position and during the earthquake, also change the y position.

You will also need the repeatedly_execute_always function.

(Btw, your spelling is fine, using punctuation couldn't hurt though )

Another option would be to use the ShakeScreenBackground() function. This shakes the screen without pausing the game, meaning it can still be played.

Oops. Didn't know about that one.
On the other hand, the ShakeScreen functions cause slight graphical glitches, as in, the area of the screen revealed by shaking the screen is a copy of the top part of the screen, not a previously not visible part of a scrolling background. But that may also have been fixed by now.

I don't think it has been fixed, and if you are doing it for an extended period of time the issue may be a problem. Still, it's the easiest way of getting this to work if you can overlook the glitch (I usually can).

Thank's I really appreciate the reply both ways works fine for me
 Kinda new to AGS working with it for a year and still learning.

I made so many games but have only finished one the reason is that I hate and I mean HATE drawing
currently busy with a game called Jimmy Spock... and this Time I will, I repeat I WILL FINISH IT.
