I have a wide screen that appears to go farther away as it pans right. This would require the character to be at a different scale level than when he is on the left side. I know that you can set scale levels with decoration layers....I suppose I could have a ton of decoration layers and go 1 percent at a time but that would be a pain and I dont know if that would affect performance in a negative way. Is there any other way to do this?

[metamorphium]

you can of course scale actor based on his actor.X position through actor.Scale

this would be very easy to script and you can set any ratio you want.

ok, some untested code:

#include "scripts/base.inc"

var RATIO = [some float here];

while (1)
{
  actor.Scale = 100 - (actor.X / RATIO);
  Sleep(10);
}

this you would put to some separate file and attach it to the scene in scene_init.script through

Scene.AttachScript("your file goes here");

Of course there are other ways to do that, but this should work. Also instead of dividing you can make some other algorithm how to scale
actor. It's hard to know how you want actor to be scaled without actual gfx.

Hope that helps
