A little story before the start screen

stahboy

Hi,

I am making a little story before the start screen and want to know what is the best method to making a slideshow kind of story. Right now I am using one actor the size of 568x320 on the iphone landscape and having it change images with the change attribute behavior. I am also using 1136x640 images for each slide (retina support).

Thank you,

I can see this a couple different ways...

1. Timer based: put all your slides in sequence in your actors tab....insert a timer. 1st slide with timer after "5 seconds"...change scene to slide 2....in that scene if you want it to be viewed for 5 seconds...you need to add the time of the previous scene...so after 10 seconds...change to slide 3....scene 4 timer would have a timer for 15 seconds if viewed for 5 seconds...and so on.

2. If you have a background audio file you will need to make it complete on your Mac....use the stop clock on your phone and hit laps every time you want a scene change....when your done you would have a sequence of timers displayed on your phone to insert in the timers of your slides actors.

3. Have a touch attribute to allow the game player to progress through the storyline at their pace. Include a back button in case they accidentally touch twice.

That's right off the top of my head. Hope these three techniques make sense.

Awesome! Thanks for the advice and help! Yeah I am using an actor with timers(self.time> kind of timers) and might replace it with the touch screen part where you can go at your own pace. And of course I will add the skip story button as well. Thank you!
