Andreas,

You could use either Actors or a Verbs, depending on what you want to do.

Here's a few situations i can cook up:

A) You have scrolling credits

No camera needed.

Use a set of verbs, one for each line. If you are using SCUMM V6, make sure you put a transparent object behind where the scrolling occurs and change its state every time you scroll the verbs, otherwise you will get overdraw.

B) You are making some sort of intro sequence with the camera smoothly moving left / right.

If you want smooth movement, i would probably try following an actor with cameraFollowActor.

C) You've got a long or tall scene and you need to quickly pan from one end to the next

Split it up into at least two rooms, and call screenEffect before you switch to the next room using the appropriate effect (see Alban's function reference).

Either that, or use one room and panCameraTo. Note though that i have not explicitly used this before, so i don't know how good the pan will be.

Good luck! :)

Regards,

James Urquhart

Hello,
do anyone know how to make an scrolling intro sequence? Do I need an invisible actor? How can I move the camera?
