[solved] LF2 Kingdom Camera Tutorial Request

[tehchuanyeow]

I need help because I'm creating a new stage mode but when I played LF2 Kingdom, I want to make the camera view like from the bataillon louis part at the beginning the camera goes from right to left. How do I do that? I've been searching all over the web and there wasn't any answer! I really need that code.

cause I never posted one

actually it`s quite simple - on the beginning of the stage an object catch the lf2 hero - there can only be one hero cause Louis is a DarkClone and is noted in another dat.-file and all the lf2 heros have characteristic bdy, I think from 10000 to 19500 (on the whole and for all ten heros). THen they move the hero as quick as possible to the other edge of the screen - during this process the screen is still black.

THen I get rid of the black part - you can see the stage and the batailoon and the object with the catched hero moves back to the left edge again - this is a bit more difficult since you have to count the distance from the right edge to the point you want him to stand and devide it to smaller parts - example: distance: 1000px, so use wait: 4 and dvx: -200 -> wait 4 = 0-4 = 5 TU, 5x200 = 1000.

Of course the hero is catched in a special frame where he`s hidden...

Tip: Maxbe search Kingdom LF2 and not the web for info...

Heres my code. I searched through Kingdom LF2 but I REALLY don't know how to do it.

look at the dvx - the longer black screen is caused by this:
id: 303 x: -250 hp: 0 act: 245 #black

now the catch-frames in the lf-hero:
