Camera help needed.

[NevenResnik]

Hey. I have a background (lawn in this case) that is larger than the camera, so that the player moves around it with arrowkeys. Now I need help with the scripts which will forbid the view actor to move out of the field, and therefor expose the blank background. Any help would be appreciated.

Find out the image width and height
Then find out the image X and y

When moving the view, only have hit move when its greater than or equal to the images x and y, then when it reaches the images width or height, width-view_width and height-view_height, it simply doesnt move Use a variable or something to determan that.

I could get into full detail if you'd like

Well, I did try, but obviously did something wrong, since it isn't working. Could you please get 'in more detail'?

Thanks!

All you need to do is to define the left most, top most, right most and the bottom most coordinates of the Background into variables.

view->DrawActor->ScriptEditor:

Code: Select all

int Left=<your left most x coordinate value here>;
int Top=<your up most y coordinate value here>;
int Right=<your right most x coordinate value here>;
int Bottom=<your bottom most y coordinate value here>;
x=max(Left,min(x,Right-width)); //limit the x movement
y=max(Top,min(y,Bottom-height)); //limit the y movement
