A zoom out/in function?

[Sgt. Sparky]

Hey, makslane. (or any other person)Is there a way to make a zoom out funtion?(I know you can do it out of game by pressing - or +)
Because that would be awsome, especialy for this catapult game I made,
and for this new game I'm working on.

[Game A Gogo]

no, and it cant change the image size.

[Sgt. Sparky]

are you sure there is no way? oh well, I was just curious.

[Game A Gogo]

NO WAY POSSIBLE, unless you make all the animation for it to small out, but the perspective would kind of a problem.
Because GE doesn't support any in game image modification other then the colors.

and how DOES one modify the colours Gogo?
Ive been trying to figure out the code 4 ages but can't seem to get it

[Game A Gogo]

ok, lets say you want to remove both red and green chanels in an image, well do this code:

Code: Select all

r=0;
g=0;

lets say you want avar to control the litness, do this:

Code: Select all

r=Light;
g=r;
b=r;

and if you want a smooth transition then this code:

Code: Select all

r-=1;

or

Code: Select all

r+=1;

maybe i'll post some cool demo of how to use color changes.

.......

so, wait a second, can you modif the colour of your SPRITES?!
would that mean that I could have a "black and white filter" as an unlockable in my game?!?

[Game A Gogo]

well, the problems is, you cant go beyond 255, and if you want a pure red, image, based from a sprite that doesnt have a pure white, you cant just go and do something like this:

Code: Select all

r=1000;
g=r;
b=r;

[Hedfone]

hmm, but u can tint your sprites?
sweet!

EDIT: what would the code be to change a sprite to grayscale? or can that e done?

[Game A Gogo]

cant be done...

[Hedfone]

aww,
too bad

[Sgt. Sparky]

but you could make a seperate game in black and white but that would defeat the purpose.
I have always wondered about the red, green, and blue codes on GE.
if I set the RGB value to all 0, would it make the actor disabled?
because R = 0 G = 0 B = 0 means No color, so all white or transparent?
sorry if I'm confusing you, and by the way. I have made a new version of Froggie(V 1.32) that I will send to makslane to have on the demo page,
sry bout' the first Froggie with all the errors(in V 1.32 you get another 20+ fps out of it, and its a bit easier.)
well, sorry for another one of my veryx3 long posts.
And Sorry for another really random post.

[Game A Gogo]

all 0 will make black
makes sense, cuz if on paint and you set the r b and g channels to 0 it dos the same thing, it only changes the channels not the image it self, its like a by-pass of color, like you put a yellow glass in front off your caracther, it will only show the red and green channels, cuz it relect the blue channels.

[Game A Gogo]

and that is not really a long post, and to make it white, youl have to make this

Code: Select all

r=255;
b=255;
g=255;
