Scroll Only At Furthest X Point

by rennie moffat · in Torque Game Builder · 07/24/2009 (6:15 am) · 4 replies

Hi, I want to make a game which the player has the full screen to maneuver however the screen only shows one panel at a time of many to come. So the player must reach the furthest he can, could be any X, Y position (usually at edge of screen). Upon reaching this point, the entire camera will shift to the next scene, which is simply a little ahead on the same road if you will.





I am about to get started on this coding, but any ideas, thoughts, insight would be beyond helpful.

Thanks
Ren

I beleive I will achieve this by creating a game file for a camera per level.
each will be basically the same, minus XY, repositioning points.

To do that I will use...
setCurrentCameraPosition(%x, %y, %width, %height)
startCameraMove(%time)



know to code this b.
