[E][P] Custom court scrolling

Post by UltrawaveStudios »

[If you can already do this, can you reply with a tutorial? thanks.]
[Not sure if I should post this in v6 or not... Posting here to be safe.]
v6 has come with court scrolling, which is really cool for me.
Although, it seems that you can only do that for the default court scenes... Is there any way to do this with custom backgrounds? If there isn't, can you make a way to do this? Thanks.

You can do it using any background scene. But scrolling does not really make sense (and hence does probably not work) unless the background is wider than the visible screen. Try uploading a wide image from CR, and it should work.

Just be sure to host the image yourself first.

I'm able to get it to work, but for custom widescreen scenes.

It should work in v6, but it's more complicated than has been stated so far. You're going to be working with the screen editor for this one.

Give Frame A the place where you want scrolling, then make the next frame have the same place, but change the alignment in the screen editor. For instance, you may want to go from the left to the right, so you would change from left-aligned on Frame A to right-aligned on the next frame. Then, check to make sure that smooth scrolling is enabled on the frame after Frame A. Smooth-scrolling should be enabled by default, but check to make sure.

With all that, scrolling should work. I don't believe you can control the rate of scrolling, but I haven't looked much into this capability of the v6 editor.

Well, yes, only horizontal scrolling is supported and it obviously requires a place wider than the screen.
And no you can't control the scrolling speed yet.

The pattern is :
- Frame 1, place 1, position 1
- Frame 2, place 1, position 2, smooth scrolling enabled

This way, when jumping from frame 1 to 2, the transition between the two positions will be smooth.

(Note that it's not required to be two successive frames - it only matters that the same place is still displayed.)
