Title: Expert shifting :P
Post by: Vinterrun on May 30, 2009, 21:07:47

Heja,
I have a little problem. I want Juni to go through a door to enter a house. But the position she entered the door is not allowed to be the same position in the next screen. Wah I hope that`s not to confusing. I`ll use a sketch  X-P

Is it possible?

In the KS Manager, use the "relative position" boxes to mark how far you want Juni to move vertically or horizontally relative to the first shift on the screen it shifts to. Or check the "absolute position" box and then put in the X and Y coordinates of the position on the second screen you want to shift to. (I know this is probably confusing. If you just mess around with the relative and absolute position options in the Manager, you'll probably be able to figure them out.)

It`s not confusing at all and it works! Goog you saved the day =D Thank you

But one question is left... if I use a cutscene Juni will move randomly to a position close to the shifter, to the last save point or (and that`s the real problem) the target position doesn`t work at all. Do you know what to do?

Spoiler: or in the ini... (click to show/hide)

Lets say you open the door at 20, 8 and are in the house at 7, 9

ShiftXMap(A)=[x outside screen - x inside screen]
ShiftYMap(A)=[x outside screen - x inside screen]
ShiftXPos(A)=-13
ShiftYPos(A)=1

Or if you want to have two door shifts at 20, 8 and 19, 8

ShiftAbsoluteTarget(A)=True
ShiftXMap(A)=[x inside screen]
ShiftYMap(A)=[y inside screen]
ShiftXPos(A)=7
ShiftYMap(A)=9

EDIT: Use a shift save ("ShiftSave(A)=True" in the ini) to keep the shift working.

Cutscenes work if you save the game at that point. :) Thats his Edit note.
