Make a movement to see

[juhuwoorps]

How I make a movement of a hotspot to see?
I have tried it with move and creat time event, but I've been unable to do the correct code.Either I had a lot of errors or nothing moves or the movement is not sightable.

Thanks for help!

Hi there...are you wanting to move this hotspot..once..or are you wanting to move it around more then once..?

The syntax is

Code: Select all

Action.LoadAPicture Hotspot(5),"Picture_name_goes_here.jpg"
Hotspot(5).move X*15,Y*15,W*15,H*15
PlaySound GetPath + "notes.wav", False---If you want noise..

You put this in Hotspot(4) lets say...is what I did here...to make Hotspot(5) move....


Post back if this isn't what u are looking for..

You replace X Y W H ---with the coordinates you want..

I know this, but the movement is to fast.I want to have a slower move like in the Third Person Plugin!

[mercedes]

What do u mean..like in the Third Person Plugin....I'm not understanding you...And are u wanting it to move only once..?

[juhuwoorps]

Yes only once. And I want to have a slow move!

[mercedes]

Hmm.....this is why i want timed transitions for hotspots too..~..

ok well are u willing to do an animation then..? or video..

With timed events ..won't work..i don't think..cause that just slows down the process..not the actual "move" but with an animation..u can control the movement to make it only once..and slow..if u want..

If u need any help with this..let me know..

Code: Select all

'this goes in procedures
Sub MoveHotspot
X=X+1
Y=Y+1
Hotspot(5).move X*15,Y*15
End Sub
'this goes to the hotspot
Action.CreateTimedEvent moveHotspot


See what happens and experiment

[mercedes]

Will this be a "slow" movement though kiddo..?..I'm gonna try this though for myself..lol

[juhuwoorps]

Code: Select all

'this goes in procedures
Sub test
X=X+1
Y=Y+1
Hotspot(5).move X*15,Y*15
End Sub
'this goes to the hotspot
Action.CreateTimedEvent test


See what happens and experiment

This gives me an error:


(I've changed MoveHotspot to test.This is why in the picture is shown test)


I'm thinking about something like this:

Code: Select all

x=5
do until x<100
Action.CreateTimedEvent 1, "Hotspot(5).move X*15,70*15", True
x=x+1

loop

But this don't work

[Lyberodoggy]

make sure hotspot 5 exists
EDIT:

Your syntax is wrong!

CreateTimedEvent 1,"test",true

[juhuwoorps]

Hotspot 5 exists!

Ok.now it runs.

[mercedes]

So does this procedure move it slowly then..?..just curious...

[Lyberodoggy]

Yes. If you want faster movement, add 5 to X instead of 1...

[mercedes]

Hey could you do this over and over again..?..within the same hotspot..with different pictures..?
or the same picture...over and over again..
Almost like an animation..? do u know what i mean..

[juhuwoorps]

Juhu!
I figured out what I want!

I made it with help of the game Shooting Field made by Lyberodoggy!

Many thanks for your help!

You are welcome, I 've already given the source of the game in a previous post...

Mercedes, I don't know if I understand what you mean
