View or Cam?

#1

Hi everybody,

i actually have a little problem,
I know i could get everything in a group and move the group so that it seems my sidescroller works.
But i actually wanna implement multiplayer later on and moving the whole level doesn´t seem right.
Is there a way to build something like a box around my hero lets say the hero is 32x32 then i would want something like 128x128 and the screen is like 400x800, my hero can move in the box of 128x128 around and the view is standing still. Then when the hero reaches the edge of the box to move the view with the hero around.

I looked in the forums for a cam or a view but couldnt find anything i hope someone has a solution for this. [import]uid: 63642 topic_id: 10691 reply_id: 310691[/import]

You could have a Runtime event listener that checks to see if the hero is within X pixels of the side of the screen. If he is then you move the transition the screen so the edge of the view is moved away from your hero. [import]uid: 49205 topic_id: 10691 reply_id: 38867[/import]
