Static screens vs. linear maps.

[delete_me]

Hi there.

I haven't been able to figure this out yet, nor have I been able to find the answer here on the forum.

I am wondering how I can make static screens, i.e. I don't want the camera to follow my character. I have mapped out an area of 4x4 screens, each screen with a resolution of 640x480. I want to be able to walk off the edge of one screen and appear at the edge of the next room. Did that make sense? I mean I just want to make an old-style platformer similar to Jet Set Willy.

Also, can this be done without having to create/save/load each new screen as separate rooms/entities?

I am using GEPro v.1.3.6 if that matters.

Any help appreciated! Thanks!

Just move the view when the player reach at the edge.
You can use a collision event and put:

Code: Select all

view.x += view.width; //640 in your case
