Is it possible to move a sprite diagonally in a cut scene?
I just ran redink's movie d-mod (or t-mod) and looked at the scripts. All the movement was N,S,E,W. Is there a way to get a sprite to follow a diagonal line across a screen during a cut scene? (e.g., NE to SW)
direction number:
7 for north-west
9 for north-east
3 for south-east
1 for south-west
7 for north-west
9 for north-east
3 for south-east
1 for south-west
Yes, you use directions 7, 9, 1, and 3. And when you move it like that, you use the X coordinate. Not that that makes much sense, but I guess...
move_stop(1, 9, 320, 1);
The first number is the sprite or whatever (1 = Dink). The second is the direction (9 = diagonal-north-east). The third number is the X coordinate to move Dink to. Basically, the Engine takes care of this, as long as you put in some number, Dink will move diagonally toward that spot. And, the last number is 1. It doesn't have to be, but I generally set it as that to avoid bugs. (1 means the sprite will move through hardness. 0 means he'll stop at hardness).
I know it's kind of all over the place, but you understand?
