Instead of doing a lot of tedious experimentation, I thought I'd ask to see if anyone already knew. I'd like to know so I can use a draw function to draw something on top of his apparent position. It looks pretty bad if I use his actual position.

if(Link->Action==LA_SCROLLING)
{
    if(scrollDir==-1)
    {
        if(Link->Y>160)
        {
            scrollDir=DIR_UP;
            scrollCounter=45;
        }
        else if(Link->Y<0)
        {
            scrollDir=DIR_DOWN;
            scrollCounter=45;
        }
        else if(Link->X>240)
        {
            scrollDir=DIR_LEFT;
            scrollCounter=65;
        }
        else
        {
            scrollDir=DIR_RIGHT;
            scrollCounter=65;
        }
    }
    
    if(scrollDir==DIR_UP && scrollCounter<45 && scrollCounter>4)
        drawY+=4;
    else if(scrollDir==DIR_DOWN && scrollCounter<45 && scrollCounter>4)
        drawY-=4;
    else if(scrollDir==DIR_LEFT && scrollCounter<65 && scrollCounter>4)
        drawX+=4;
    else if(scrollDir==DIR_RIGHT && scrollCounter<65 && scrollCounter>4)
        drawX-=4;
    
    scrollCounter--;
}
else
{
    drawX=Link->X;
    drawY=Link->Y;
    if(scrollDir!=-1)
        scrollDir=-1;
}

That works like a charm. Thanks, Saffith.

Can I use this too? I would have used dummy items and LTM's to alter link's sprite, but if I can use this method instead, that'd be much simpler.

[Saffith]

Are you asking my permission? Anyone's welcome to use that, as far as I'm concerned.

Well yes, I usually ask for permission first if I wasn't the one who requested the script. Anyways, thank you

Hey Leges, is this the function that solves the scrolling problem in your Sideview Swimming script? You said that the scrolling using LTM needs a function to keep Link's position.

[Lejes]

Yes, you could fix it with this.

[justin]

could someone explain how to use this function or upload a script or a demo that uses it?

 

i've tried to implement it, but can't get anything to draw when scrolling.  i've tried drawing before and after the Waitdraw.

 

 

edit:  lweapons are not drawn during scrolling right?  that's probably my issue.

Here's a demo.

 

Everything is in the script buffer. The function that controls draw position is named TorchScrolling. The position variables are global, named center_x and center_y. You'll notice their values are set by TorchScrolling and nowhere else.

 

EDIT: Yeah that would be an issue. Lweapons don't persist through screen scrolling.

torches.qst seems broken.  can you reupload?

[Lejes]

It's on your end. The download is working fine for me.
