[SOLVED] Displaying vertical image with movement

[Team1Player2]

Hello,

my project is using 16:9 ratio. For bg images and many cgs that is alright. But I would like to show an image with a 9:16 ratio. This means a) stretching/zooming in so only a fraction, the bottom part of the picture. And then b) I would like to tell the "camera" to slowly move upwards, still showing everything in y axis and stopping at the top of the screen.

Reading this text confuses me even though I am the one who wrote it so I will clarify like this: When first meeting a new character, I want to display an image with aspect ratio flipped. So zoomed in on the legs and then slowly travel upwards.

This is probably one of those cases where this is not a problem to do. I just simply don't know how. Any help would be appreciated.

You can easily do that with the camera statement.

Code: Select all

label start:

    camera:
        xalign 0.5 zoom 0.5    # adapt this zoom value to make sure the width of the image fully shows
        yalign 1.0    # 1.0 means that the camera will be aligned at the bottom of the screen
        linear 2 yalign 0.0    # it will take 2 seconds to go to the top.

    # ... rest of your script

    camera # using camera alone will reset the camera to its default state.

You could also replace linear with ease for a smoother movement.

Implemented, tried, tested. Works pefectly. Even found a bug I managed to introduce at some point. Thank you so much!
