Solved: [ZoomOut when Plattformer is moving]

Hi. I try to do some "Camera Effects". But I don?t no exactly how.

But let me show you what I want to do:

http://www.tastybytes.de/justintime/zoomOut/index.html

When the Player is running the "camera" should zoom out smoothly. When the player stops it should zooming in.

Here is the capx.

I have two problems.

1.) The change between zooming out and zooming in isn?t smooth. I have no idea how I could do this.

2.) The paralax background jumps.

Do you have some ideas?

zoomOut_Fixed.capx

For the parallax, I set the Y value to 100. But with a more complete project I think this won't be a valuable long term solution.

The smooth zooming is covered though. Wait and see what others have to propose about the parallax.

Kyatric, you rock! I have to catch on what you have done there. Looks cool!

I simply added a condition, to make sure if the maximum (or the minimum) layoutscale number was not yet reached (depending on if the sprite is moving or not).

From there, I add (or substract) a value (* dt for framerate independency) each tick.

Change the value 0.3 to lengthen or shorten the length of the zoom.

simply...he says.

Yeah, "simply." It's hard for geniuses like Kyatric to remember what it's like to be as lowly as us. <img src="smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

The genius is in C2/coding, not in me ^^

I suspect that guy R0j0hound who can make your computer cook irl pancakes in three events or that dude Ashley who built C2 to be actual geniuses.

Another good place for lerp.

is not moving-set layout scale to:lerp(layoutscale,1,0.5*dt)

is moving-set layout scale to:lerp(layoutscale,1.5,0.5*dt)

Hi again. Is it possible to scale single layers?

i have done this:

Event:

Player | Platformer is moving

System | layoutscale < 1.3    

Action:

System | Set layer 0 scale to layoutscale + 0.3*dt

Event:

Player | Platformer is not moving

System | layoutscale > 0    

Action:

System | Set layer 0 scale to layoutscale - 0.3*dt

But nothing happens

Stay consistent.

Replace all "layoutscale" by layer 0 scale in your code.

Do you mean?

"layer0scale" or "layer.0.scale" ? Dont know the correct syntax.

Sorry, im a noob in expressions.

Set layer 0 scale to layerscale(0) + 0.3*dt

Thank you! Now it works fine!

"Genius" is just another word someone who-

a: read alot

b: read even more

c: practiced

d: experimented

3: taken lots of drugs ;p

4: you didnt notice I changed from letters to numbers did you

e: pays attention to small details

f: reads alot

g: doesnt repeat themselves often

h: relaxes and looks at the world alot(see "e:" above)

i: Doesn't worry about irrelevant things...such as trolling etc unless really, really funny...

:)

Dont worry

even lofty genius is achievable in anyone's lifetime...

just depends on how bad you want it

BE BAD..!
