Vcam? D:

[flailthefox]

Well, first off, W00t, i got CS4 to replaced my broken CS3. :D

I started working on an experimental platformer, and so far, not bad! but the tutorial in which i looked up about Vcam didnt seem to work. :/

Can someone explain Vcam to em and point me in the direction of a good vcam tutorial? I would be grateful.

[OMGx]

What do you want to do with it? (vcam i mean)

[flailthefox]

simplez. I'm making a flat kind of game. all you do is walk on it a bit. but i want the vcam so it follows the player, like you should think. Example: Your the character, and you walk across this part for a while. you want the vcam to follow :D.

Add it to the stage, then every frame set its x and y co-ordinates to that of the players. Simplez.

onEnterFrame = function(){
vcam._x = player._x;
vcam._y = player._y;
}

I quess you're using as2..

Yes, I am suing AS2. But what am i adding to the screen? a white box with the instance name Vcam?

Download the vcam (Link, click on "Download vCam AS2 FLA", and add it to your flash file. Then drag it onto the stage, and give it the instance name "vcam".

The code above was just an example.

The code was an example - That means you don't copy and paste it, you have to change it yourself. Fla. Don't know why its doing that annoying bobbling thing.

I've put the v-cam code on the frame, not on the player.
