shaking the screen

[raminjoon]

hi I was wondering to know if you know how I can shake the scene after a event. I mean I want make some kind of earthquake for example in my game do you have any idea?

What this is one way to do it. You should have some way of telling where the view should be, and something tell the view to shake. So, for this I I'm going to use the variables xview, yview, and quake.
view -> Draw Actor -> Script Editor

Code: Select all

x=xview;
y=yview;

if(quake==1)
{
    x=xview-10+rand(20);
    y=yview-10+rand(20);
}

This way you set quake to 1, and it will start shaking by a max of 10 pixels in either direction.

thanks friend but can I do that by have this code activated for example after a certain event has occured?

Well to activate that code you can use any event, and just set quake to 1. If you want it to stop set it to 0. The thing is unless the shaking only happens while you are pressing a key, you'll have to use a draw actor event.

So, this will activate it.
player -> Key Down x -> Script Editor

Code: Select all

quake=1;

And if you want it to stop after a while you can use a timer event that sets it back to 0.
