Hi,
I was wondering whether it's possible to make the camera move so that the camera would move exactly with the actor. I mean when the actor starts moving, the scene starts scrolling instantly and when the actor stops moving, the scene stops scrolling instantly too. That would keep the actor in the center of the screen all the time.
I've tried playing with the ScrollSpeedX/ScrollSpeedY/ScrollPixelsX/ScrollPixelsY variables and the movement of the scene is almost as is expected but the scene still sometimes moves even though the actor has already stopped moving.

Simply turn autoscroll of, and add scene scrolling to the LeftClick action of the char.
Or :

Simply add a Scene.ScrollTo(actor.X, actor.Y) to the game_loop . ( Also turn autoscroll off ).

But in my opinion thats not a good way of scrolling, it makes the whole game looking anxious.


greets,

I've tried it but it's not what I need but it's my fault-my description is confusing. However, I don't know what I actually need because it isn't my idea. It's an idea of our artist. He should have asked by himself
Thanks anyway

I've done this in one of my project and I used Scene.SkipTo with manually supplying coordinates. It worked for me.

I've tried placing Scene.SkipTo(actor) inside my game loop but the screen was tearing then.
Could you tell me please how you computed the coordinates?
Thanks

Code: WME Script

1.  
2. method TrackMobot()
3. {
4.           var posX = Mobot.X + SCREEN_WIDTH / 2; //
5.           var posY = Mobot.Y + SCREEN_HEIGHT / 2;
6.          Scene.SkipTo(posX,posY);
7. }
8.  
9.  

You need to turn autoscroll off for this approach to work. Mobot is my actor's entity in this Scene.
