Camera Control

DimensionGames

Sorry this has been slightly frustrating for me! I remember seeing it on the forum before where someone wants to move the camera so that you can keep the menu system in the same scene! Couldn't find it anywhere!

Sorry I said that wrong! I meant where you type in the co-ordinates of somewhere in the scene and the camera move to that e.g. when point a is pressed move to x,y but in the same scene.

i think he wants to improve the loading time between scenes by putting a few scenes inside of one, like the main menu, level select and options all in one scene, and move the camera depending on what they are looking at.

Is that right?

Utopian Games had a demo

Make a button actor. Drag it into the scene. unlock it. Create a rule:

Rule when touch is pressed
Change scene.Camera.Origin.X to 480

Yes

So is the first bit a boolean attribute?
Sorry for being very simple...lol

Nope.

Just click the rule button at the top right
Select when touch is pressed
Then drag in a change attribute behavior from the list of behaviors on the left
Then in the first box select current scene (only available in UNLOCKED instances) - camera - origin - X
Then in the second box type 480

This will move the camera so that the bottom left pixel is at 480 instead of 0
