IWBTG Stlye Scrolling

This is an example of how to have a system similar to "IWBTG" scrolling for Lumer0

Here is the thread ->

EDIT: Sorry, the text box is cut off, show and hide the "Camera" object with Enter >.<

DOUBLE EDIT: Sorry!!! my example isnt set up right (I only played IWBTG about 2 times before I gave up), what you would do to achieve IWBTG scrolling is set it so that the Camera object is jumped ahead each time the player touches the edges

Ok thanks, but I'm still not sure how to make it jump somewhere else (To the next screen). Sorry, I'm a noob to construct.

Hmm, ok. well, once I get a chance (probably tomorrow) I will try to make another example and hopefully it will be closer to IWBTG

Thanks!

Hey i made an example of IWBTG like scrolling, hope you like it.

Edit: Ok so just to make know you got it.

Gray box is only to center view on it.

Playfield is the multiply of 3x2 fields of dimensions 320:240.

In order to make a skipping to other field you must do this formula

floor(Sprite.X/320)*320+160[/code:1o6imz08]
Where Sprite is our player, the floor is needed to determine on which field you are so if you are in less than 320 then the value is 0 if your even further >640 then its 2 and so on, also the +160 is to center the position. The y scrollin is just the same as x just change 320 to 240 becouse height is lower.

Thanks!

I don't really understand it but I'll try and figure it out!

EDIT: I think I know how to use it with my game now.

Yay, now I don't have to do it! err I mean, nice one Doppel

It is entirely bizarre to see something classified as "IWBTG Scrolling" when I definitely didn't create it.

And now I know the math behind modulos, hooray!

... WHAT?

The all mighty kayin has posted!

Yay Kayin (the guy who probably can tell us EXACTLY how IWBTG scrolls) finally came to correct us in our wrong ways....whats Modulos though?

The modulus is the remainder after integer division. For instance, 17 % 5 ("seventeen modulo five") is 2 -- five goes into seventeen three times, with two left over.

It was exactly the same way I did it. Only difference is, Construct doesn't have a built in modulos function, so the math for that has to be done manually (which isn't much more at all). I really don't think theres another sensical way to do it.

For those who don't know, Modulos is generally really useful for stuff like rounding numbers -- sort of how the player position in this example is rounded to the nearest screen center. Learn and love it!

It does - the % operator. Znirk's example is a valid expression.

I just realized I am entirely a retard.
