Map Scrolling

[Drazus]

I'm wondering, for cutscene purposes, if it's possible to move the camera without it centering on where the main character would be. (If someone could provide the scripting, that'd be helpful too.)

Re: Map Scrolling

Just Display Off the main character and move 'em around. Use an event in the character's place o represent them. So, it'd be:

Party: Display Off
(then move them around to control the camera)

And when you're done, of course:

Part: Display On

That's what I was assuming... You sure there isn't another way?

And how'd you get the party back at the original location at the end, though, without a whole mess of movement scripts?

Well, you could always warp back to the original location when you're done. If that doesn't work for you, you could use a Location Move and Bypass Objects to get the camera to the right spot. But, yes, that's the only way to move the camera.

Welll.... in a scrolling effect, yes.

You could use Vertical angle, Horizontal angle, and height and what not to make the camera turn off of those axis. (vertical is linked with rotating up/down (Y axis), horizontal is left/right(x axis), and for Z, its really only maybe Zoom in, Zoom out)

Re: Map Scrolling

Only thing is, I'm looking to scroll, not rotate.

Re: Map Scrolling

rotating can give an effect of scrolling, if used in the right proportion, and in small amounts, is where i was getting at...
