Problemtime!

I have got a picture, a background, which happens to be 800x1115px big.
I want Ren'py to start showing the upper half of the picture and slowly move towards the lower half of it and stop there, so that the player can see everything from the picture. I know, it has to do something with ATL, but I totally don't get it, how to do that kind of "automatic scrolling". Help required

Thanks in advance!

Probably the easiest way to do this is with the ATL crop command. That crops out a portion of the image. I'm assuming your game is 800x600, so you can write:



This takes 3 seconds to do the pan. 515 is 1115 - 600, the height of the screen.

Hope this helps.

That definitely helps, I'm gonna test it later.

And since we're on that: Is there a way to change the 800x600 game screen? Where can I do that?

Take a look at the start of options.rpy.

Note that if you change the size, you'll need to change the crop as well.

Awesome, everything works out very well! I'm grateful for the good support! Keep the good work up!

Double Post, but I got another question:
Is there any way to disable clicking (and therefore skipping) while the wait-function is working? I used a wait-function, so that the moving background can do it's stuff, but I want the reader to be forced to watch it, so that he cannot skip it. Is that somehow possible?

renpy.pause(hard=True) is only way I know of. for example,

I have tried out some things, that were related to the "hard"-value you are proposing, but somehow it doesn't work.
I tried these ones:

It isn't written down on the wiki either: http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/ref ... ions/Pause
Have I done something wrong?

Nevertheless, thanks for your help.

It's a python code. Did you put "$" before the function?
The reason not written on the Wiki maybe it's not recommended.

Ohhh, now it works... Sorry, I'm still very inexperienced! It works out just like I wanted it to be, thank you.

Still, another question: How do I prevent the player from rollbacking?

it's nice and easy to stop a player from rolling back past a certain point, you just need to add in this line of code wherever you want the point of no return to be



I know you can totally disable rollback, if that's what you want, but I'm not sure how you go about doing it haha.
