Bigger Scenes are melting my brain!!

edited November -1 in Working with GS (Mac)
I want by levels to be bigger than the normal screen, and I also watched tshirtbooth's videos about bigger scenes. I created two attributes(real), camX and camY. I also created an actor and added constrain attribute, camX (camY) to current scene origin X...

But how to do in my character movements, I don't find a way to do it when using buttons to move a character in a game??

Can someone help me...please :)

thank you

    Have the behavior, "Control Camera" in your actor, then just use the normal navigation buttons or what ever you have to control your actor. Does that answer your question?

    The behavior is in my actor but the camera does not follow him^^ I can run out of the scene with my actor and nothing happens or changes :((

    Is he on a scrollable layer?
  • GuaveMediaGuaveMedia Member, PRO Posts: 1,262
    what do you mean? I have a background in front and my player is also on front.

    In Scene -> Layers, is the actor you want to control the camera on a layer that is checked "Scrollable?"
  • GuaveMediaGuaveMedia Member, PRO Posts: 1,262
    is not srollable!
    But I have only background in layers and when I press the arrow down, all my actors are shown up. Means they are inside background file....
  • JadarStudiosJadarStudios Member Posts: 264
    It needs to be scrollable for your actor to control the camera, try that. Or, make a new layer for the actor, so that it works properly...
  • GuaveMediaGuaveMedia Member, PRO Posts: 1,262
    Yeah but how to get the actor out of the background file? And when I add a new actor, it isn't my character anymore? :///
  • JadarStudiosJadarStudios Member Posts: 264
    You can't export your actor with the background file. You need to export it as a separate PNG. Is that what you mean?
  • GuaveMediaGuaveMedia Member, PRO Posts: 1,262
    Okey I don't said it clear, in my layers I only have 1 file (background) and in background, all my actors and images are listed.

    You understand or?
  • JadarStudiosJadarStudios Member Posts: 264
    I still don't understand what the problem is now. Does the camera follow your actor yet?
  • GuaveMediaGuaveMedia Member, PRO Posts: 1,262
    No because in my layer is only "Background"
    Scrollable is on....

    And when I press the arrow of the background layer, all other layers get listed up...
    Also my actor, where scrollable is off and I can't turn it on..

    maybe you understand it now?
  • JadarStudiosJadarStudios Member Posts: 264
    When you click the triangle, it shows all the actors on that layer. So when Background is scrollable, the camera will move with the actor if the control camera behavior is in the actor.
  • GuaveMediaGuaveMedia Member, PRO Posts: 1,262
    But that does not happen :(
  • JadarStudiosJadarStudios Member Posts: 264
    Does your layers tab kinda looks like this, with a background layer, then all the actors in it.

    image
  • GuaveMediaGuaveMedia Member, PRO Posts: 1,262
    Yes exactly ;)
  • JohnPapiomitisJohnPapiomitis Member Posts: 6,256
    just make a new layer to put your unscrollable stuff on and uncheck scrollable for that layer
  • JadarStudiosJadarStudios Member Posts: 264
    Exactly.
  • GuaveMediaGuaveMedia Member, PRO Posts: 1,262
    But I cant move files out of the background layer???
  • SlickZeroSlickZero Houston, TexasMember, Sous Chef Posts: 2,870
    Yes you can. You have to create the new layer first, then drag the actors names in the list into that new layer. It takes a steady hand, but you can drag and drop from one layer into another.
  • JadarStudiosJadarStudios Member Posts: 264
    Not unless you make another layer by pressing the + button to move things out of the layer.

    EDIT: Slick got to it first...
  • GuaveMediaGuaveMedia Member, PRO Posts: 1,262
    But then my actor disappears when I move him to the new layer....both layers are scrollable or?

    Drag the layer all the way up to the top.
  • GuaveMediaGuaveMedia Member, PRO Posts: 1,262
    Layer with Actor on top, then layer background..

    behavior control camera in actor but still nothing happens :((

    I just strechted my background image vertical, does this play a role or is it not important?

    I am really frustrated ...
  • JadarStudiosJadarStudios Member Posts: 264
    Try deleting the actor from the scene, and putting it back in.
  • GuaveMediaGuaveMedia Member, PRO Posts: 1,262
    Nothing :(((( oh man :/
  • JadarStudiosJadarStudios Member Posts: 264
    a screenshot of your Layers tab?
  • GuaveMediaGuaveMedia Member, PRO Posts: 1,262
    How to upload?
  • RumiRumi Member, PRO Posts: 343
    you have to use some kind of media hosting. like photo bucket or something
  • GuaveMediaGuaveMedia Member, PRO Posts: 1,262
    or can I just send it to email to you guys??

    There only two layers,

    1.Layer (with my actor in it, scrollable on)
    2.Background (all other stuff, srollable on)

    That's exactly what's on the picture...

    Please help me....really frustrated
