Title: Clouds in Game
Post by: Rowan on January 20, 2004, 03:11:42 AM

Make an event anywhere on the map that you want the clouds. MAKE SURE THE EVENT IS PARALLEL PROCCESS!!The event picture should be transparent (pink). Then Insert a cycle in the event. Make a Show Image inside of the cycle, the image of clouds that you want to use (Whatever Cloud Image you want!)Make the X coordinate -320 and the Y coordinate 120. The Magnification should be 100%. Choose Transparency Color: Stir, and Transparency % to 50%.Then make a Move image inside the cycle. The Transparency % should be 50% again and the Magnification should be 100%. The Movement hangtime can be whatever you want it to be. I chose 300 (30.0 seconds). REMEMBER: If you choose a higher time the clouds will move slower. If you choose a lower time the clouds will move faster. Leave the option Wait While Moving checked.

This is how it should look like...
<>Cycle
  <>Show Picture:    1,Morning1,(-320,120)
  <>Move Picture:    1,(320,120),30.0sec(W)
  <>
:End Cycle
<>

That's it for now!

This thing is in the same game "Don's Adventures". The cloud there is really huge and mostly transparent, creating a fog effect.

Clouds are pretty cool, but having too many pictures on the screen can seriously slow down the game.

Especially on crappy computers. (Like mine)

Just put some Wait events in the coding and set them all to 0.0 seconds to get rid of lag.
