Creating an automatic scrolling screen and...

[cchapeton]

I have a student that wants to have the screen scroll automatically. Which we have achieved. Now we just need to figure out how to have the main characters stay within the visible frame and the bad guys coming from the top to do the same. Kinda like the Raiden jet fighter games.Thanks!

Without use Active Picture you have to manually calculate offset.

You need to uncheck the "Follow the Frame" box in the properties of any objects that you want to stay on screen.

make a normal scrolling screen that follows an object, and then make the object not your player and that it has a slow moving path movement, and then make the object invisible. This worked for me very nicely without any math. Well some to get the speed right, but otherwise not much.
