Panning Across A Background

[lindsay-jb]

I was wondering if it's possible to pan across a background without changing the image in the "scene" statement? For example, I have a very wide background that that whole screen doesn't show. Sometimes, I want to pan from one part of the bg to another part. For example, if I have an apartment bg and the characters are in the sitting room and move to the kitchen, that's all part of one background and I want to be able to pan from the left side of the bg with the sitting room to the right side with the kitchen. How would one do that? With the transformation language, I can only find transitions for completely changing from one background to another, not just transitioning to show a different section of the background.

Thank you!

I ended up using this code to define a transform to do it:

Code: Select all

transform left_to_right:
    xalign 0.0
    linear 2.0 xalign 1.0

Then I can say

Code: Select all

scene cafe at left_to_right

and it'll pan from left to right.
