"Moving" Camera Effect

[mahoop]

Introduction:
Hello people, it's been a while since I asked anything around here and I hope that you can help me,
Many of the topics I will address here are easy to manipulate or find, but the question I can't solve is: How do you make them a single code, to fulfill my need?

The problem:
In short, when a specific character start to talk, I would like the "camera" to focus on that character.
And what's so hard about it?
I would like two effects to occur during this act. One, zoom in on the background. Two, the characters would be raised a bit up.

Notes:
As I mentioned above, there is nothing that we have not seen before, "xzoom", "_last_say_who", "xpos" and "ypos" and so on. But I can't figure out how to merge all these functions together.

Any suggestions?

Well, there is a renpy 3d camera. If you search it on Google, there is a YouTube video with the link in the description. The site is in Japanese though.

Hello "mahoop" for a zoom out I wrote such a code, you can reverse it, for a zoom in (the pic is the "intro004pn91"):
(Edit: why the "spoiler" do not work?)

And here a code from a documentation, I forgot from where, that has a zoom in at the beginning, and pan up, you can try out to change the coordinates to fit your project or use to improvise it to a similar display:

Code: Select all

abel start:

    scene AShipStage2A002aBig:
        subpixel True
        size (1280, 720) crop (0, 0, 3375, 1898) #first tuple is the size of game screen, second is size of picture in pixels
        linear 4.0 crop (615, 935, 1280, 720) # first float is time in seconds, tuples are coordinates of the upper left corner of a rectangle, and the second tuple is the size of that rectangle
        linear 8.0 crop (615, 0, 1280, 720) #here we change the y coordinate over 8 seconds to pan the image up

    e "Ah, Paris!"

apparently, the spoiler is not a "open/close" spoiler. It hides the text instead.
