Moving character within a scene

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to move a character from perhaps the center of the screen, and then move them to a location to the left or right without dissolve?

Is there something like "slide nameofcharacter left" already or could someone show me the code to do it?

Thanks!

Re: Why, as a game developer, you NEED your own website

@Calissa Leigh Yay, another website designer (Do you do it as a career or as a hobby?) That's unfortunate that your website was hacked. It's another reason why I'm too scared to make my own server...Internet can be a dangerous place. It started out as a hobby. I used to have a handful of websites, ...

Re: Why, as a game developer, you NEED your own website

The biggest problem I see with free blogging platforms, is that you don't own them. What if you get banned from Wordpress.com (guilty or not)? They won't give you time to save your content or even explain why they took your site down. If Wordpress.com, Tumblr or one of the bigger blogging providers...

Re: Story concept, Opinions wanted

Hi. :) First, I'd like to say I enjoy Alice in Wonderland and always enjoy a good revised version. My understand is that Alice is a guy lost his memory, but does know his parents are dead. Why are the parents dead? Is it important to the story? (I find it hard to wrap my brain around a guy named Ali...

Re: Multiple writers and organization.

How much text is required per path? Some writers can write 5000k words a day. Some barely reach 200. You'll also need to see how they handle dialogue. Do the guys sound like girls with pants? Do they have the same attitude throughout? Personally, having multiple writers may be difficult. You'd still...

Re: Why, as a game developer, you NEED your own website

I know I'm new to the forum, but I've been building websites since 1996 and my current main website has been online since 2004. I'm also a freelancer (writer). I've needed a website to promote my own writing services. I wanted to share some thoughts. Starting your own website can be a very big decis...

Re: There's this voice acting forum

Hi, and yup. :) Discovered Novelty and Ren'Py so I'm working on some VNs. My boyfriend used to be a producer for FOX and other local television stations (meaning he did the filming for local commercials and other things). So he used to hire actors for commercials. Local actors will usually be able t...

Re: There's this voice acting forum

You may also be able to hire local actors in your area. If you know a guy with a good voice, do a couple of voice collecting sessions, and buy the guy a few beers. :)
