Screen Scrolling

[Sean_M]

I'm looking for a way to do a screen scrolling effect while using one frame for the gameplay area. Would I have to make a camera follow the player as he moves, and have stoppers stop at the place where the scrolling occurs? And after that, what next?

Well, I'm I'm just looking for a way for him to transition between rooms, and I'm thinking of using detectors. I'll take your scrolling idea into consideration at some point though.

There was a thread about that not very long ago. I'll grab a link real quick...

Some of those examples require a different frame per room though. I'm trying to do this all in the same frame, and I saw one example in another thread that does what I'm trying to do (As well as NMario's game engine project). Would that work? And in addition, how would I make a transition that scrolls the player into the room?

There is an example on my website:

Ah, nice. Now all I need is how to make a scrolling transition between rooms, as I am going for a megaman-like style of play.
