How to make a long scene

ChucklingMonkey

Hi,
How do you make a long scene? Like when you get towards the edge of the scene it continues on to what is next. Sort of like a continues scene.

Thanks

click the scene tab to bring up the scene attributes. Then change the scene size width and height to whatever you want. Then in whatever actor you want the camera to follow put the control camera behavior in it. THen back in your scene at the top left above where the scene area ends you'll see a little mouse cursor with a camera next to it. Click the camera and drag the box as small as you can make it. THats the camera tracking area.

You should be good to go after that

Thanks for the response. I have one question. Can explain the part where you have to make the camera smaller because when I make it small it dosen't allow my player to move.

thats the camera tracking area. By making it smaller that means as soon as the player starts the move the camera will follow. If you leave it big it will wait to the players at the edge of the screen then start following. Most of the time it looks weird and isn't how you want it.

I dont think its that it wont let you character move, your background is probably just one color and if you have a solid color background the camera follows as soon as the character moves so it stays in the middle of the screen. which makes it appear like the character isn't moving try putting a image as the background or different actors throughout the scene to see if its moving

I made the background a different color and moved the camera all the way in the middle so it's as small as possible, but wen I hit preview, My player can only move up to a certain point and then stops moving.
