Is there any way to speed up the Scene Scrolling. Thanks.

Is there any way to speed up the Scene Scrolling. Thanks.

Check the Scene object in the docs:

ScrollingSpeedX Horizontal scrolling speed (in milliseconds, default=10)
ScrollingSpeedY Vertical scrolling speed (in milliseconds, default=10)
ScrollingPixelsX Horizontal scrolling shift (in pixels, default=1)
ScrollingPixelsY Vertical scrolling shift (in pixels, default=1)

Thanks Jerrot

It seems like it doesn't work correctly...

I want a "quick" Scene Scrolling, but for any values, the scrolling seems to have the same speed (more or less).

Did you resolve this as I am running into problems with this?

I have added this code near the start of a scene_init.script:
Scene.OffsetX = 533;
Scene.ScrollingPixelsX = 5;

I was under the impression this would offset the scene to the right and make the scrolling much faster but it seems to have had no effect at all

No, I didn't resolve it. I tried different things, but nothing worked.

Maybe a Bug???

Well, not exactly a bug, more the way the scrolling works.. It always tries to synchronize scene scrolling with the actor movement which causes problems here. I'll have to look at it to see what can I do about that..

I know there was a problem or something like that 

[tnomad]

Thing is my game the actor moves much faster than the scrolling which isn't ideal, but the fact that I can't get a scene to start on the side where the character has entered is a bigger problem. It looks like of silly that the scene has to pan right until the character is shown every time you enter that room....

This can by achieved by Scene.SkipTo(actor);

Thanks, that should sort out my main problem for now.

With regards to the scrolling, I can send you an example of my scene where the scrolling doesn't seem to synch with the character correctly if it will be of any help to you in testing?

You mean mean the scene *never* scrolls to the correct position or it just takes long time for it to synchronize itself with actor's position?

I think is the last one. I had the same problem and I gave it

Yeah it just takes too long so you end having the character waiting at the far left (or right) of the screen for the room to catch up before you can continue to walk further...

Ok, in that case I don't need you to send me the scene, thank you. I'm thinking of adding an option where the scene scrolling would follow the character immediately, without the delay effect.

Although I think you could script that, something like:

Scene.AutoScroll = false;
while(true)
{
  Scene.SkipTo(actor.X, actor.Y);
  Sleep(100);
}

I didn't test it though.
