very interesting transition night day

wollty

hello to all the community
i see very interesting day night transition effect

Check 2'40 "-2'59"

I'd like to reproduce an effect of this kind
but how did they do?
many actors have put it?
1 actor sky day?
1 actor sky night?
1 actor bar in the middle?

I note that both the day and night sky are still
are not dragged

I can not understand how they organized this effect
If I understood maybe I could reproduce it (at least I'd try)

thanks for your attention

Hmmm not sure if an effect that smooth is possible in GS. They may have used a mask of some kind which we can't do in GS. This was probably done with a more powerful coding environment.

I thought you something
type an animation with masks of adobe flash
thanks
sorry for my english

Quite easy actually.

Make the lefthand actor full size. Then manipulate the width and position of the righthand actor according to the mouse position.

The trick is in the Actor:Graphics:Horizontal Anchor - set this to "right".

Maybe an ability to change the x and y offset of an image inside an actor (at run time) would allow for even more creative effects.

Here is a rough project to illustrate.

Hi @Hopscotch - You used the nightly build application to build that. It won't open the project for those who don't have access to the nightly builds... Just FYI

Hopscotch

Just unzip the file. Or are you using the Windows version of creator?

wollty

wollty

what is nightly build?

Braydon_SFX

The Nightly Builds are GameSalad's pre beta...beta release. So the PRO's, Line cooks and Sous Chefs get the new features a bit before the regular users. We play around with the build and make sure all of the bugs are cleaned up prior to GameSalad releasing to the public.

Here it is in the proper version, just unzip.

wollty

I just bought gamesald pro
how can I do now to open this zip

thanks

Hopscotch

@Wollty, if you have downloaded and saved the file to disk, then right click on the file and choose "Open With : Archive Utility". Then you should have the project file to open in GS.

The_Gamesalad_Guru

Ah yes, didn't consider you could fasten the anchor point..Hmm...Will have to play with that. It doesn't strech the image?

Hopscotch

@FBS, under "Actor : Graphics : Horizontal Wrap" you can specify "Fixed"

wollty

thanks
but I can not open the file
what is the right file?
