View follows smoothly

[Troodon]

Hi,
How can I make the view follow smoothly my main actor. I don't want to make my actor the parent of the view, because in my game there is places where you wouldn't notice you are moving. I know there is some very beautifull codes here.

I found already one good which uses a invicible actor with this draw actor code:

Code: Select all

int weight = 20;

y = ((height - 1)*y + vene.y)/height;
 x = ((width - 1)*x + vene.x)/width;

Someone has something more beautifull?

After I fix my GE, I will show you a four way move
(The window got Deactivated, and when I clic kon it it beeps )

Ok, thanks.
I hope you can fix your GE soon.

I just fixed it!
here is a four way code for the view actor,
it makes the view act like it is a camera fallownig a person
See my Roborunaway base game:
http://game-editor.com/forum/tp-3071-Robo-baseGame.html

well,
make an actor that fallows the Player with this code for the draw actor Event for your player:

Code: Select all

KnightPointer.xscreen = xscreen;
KnightPointer.yscreen = yscreen;


and here is the draw actor event for an actor that the view fallows(The vies parent actor, like ViewParent.):

Code: Select all

if(x < KnightPointer.x - 50)
{
 xvelocity = Knight.directional_velocity+ .1;
}
if(x > KnightPointer.x + 50)
{
 xvelocity = - Knight.directional_velocity - .1;
}
if(y > KnightPointer.y + 50)
{
 yvelocity = - Knight.directional_velocity - .1;
}
if(y < KnightPointer.y - 50)
{
 yvelocity = Knight.directional_velocity + .1;
}
if(distance(x, y, Knight.x, Knight.y) < 50)
{
    directional_velocity = 0;
}

I hope it helps!

Thanks, I will try it.
