NEEDED rotatating backgorund image (NOT THE MENU ITSELF)

[Gamer_Shy]

I've been searching around constantly but i keep finding scripts that add way to much or only change the title screen menu part itself, i need a script taht makes only the title background have an effect (rotation, thats all i need, rotation) nothing happening to the menu, nothing happening before it or anythin like that, just a very simple rotation on the backgorund image, PLEASE, im going insane just finding all these over complicated scripts for one simple little task which is ROTATION...

If all you want is a static image to be rotating in the background, would a video of that image playing work?

the problem is that rotating an image is one of the more complicated tasks for any computer - almost all other effects are much more easier to program.


I suggest you look for one of those scripts that display a map instead of a picture in the titlescreen (there are one or two that do this), but keep the map empty and only place a single event on autorun there, and have that event display the rotating pictures by event commands.

Not exactly, cuz that would mean i'd need to record my image rotating, and my computer is too slow to be able to record anything (im running on an old Apire one netbook ._.)

Maybe I am nuts, but in windows movie maker you can just make a transition in which the current screen rotates.


So all you have to do is open windows movie maker import one picture add a transition and export the movie, right? Now you have a video.

But getting that video to be displayed behind the title command window is not easy...

alright, i tried the map thing, and the image keeps freezing up teh game, i even removed the script and tested with a regular map to see if it would do the same thing and it still froze, so that one is out of the question, i guess i can try the windows movie maker thing (if i even still have it on my system, last i checked, i dont anymore cuz i had to install a new version of windows and everythign got wiped, including the default windows apps like sound recorder and stuff, but i can try)

Edit: I checked, i dont have it on my system anymore, go figure, i do have a free version of serriff movie maker, but i dont think that'll do the single image rotation, i'll check right after i post this, if all else fails, i guess i can try somethign else ._.

If the image freezes the map, then you did something wrong in the event - did you switch off the autorun after the image starts rotating? That is neccessary as autoruns always loop.

 

[Gamer_Shy]

alright, i managed to fix the freezing thing, but the image stops rotating, i tried using "exit even processing" then i removed that nad just let it autorun. but then the image topped rotating, but its not freezing, idk exactly what im doing on this on, i've figured all teh gameplay events perfectly but not this XD mind sending a screenshot or something so that i can figure out exatly how to set up the event? (i couldnt find a script that plays a video, so im falling back on the map screen btw)

 

[Andar]

Post the screenshot here in the topic (use "more reply options") and we'll see if we can find the bug.

 

[Gamer_Shy]

as i said, i have no clue what im doing exactly, i could be doing this totally wrong knowing my luck XD

 

[Andar]

add a third command, "Control Self-Switch A = ON".


then click on "new event page" (top row of buttons).


Switch to the new page


check the box on condition "self-switch A is ON"


That should be all to make it work

 

[Gamer_Shy]

Yes, that worked!! i honestly have no clue how but it still worked XP thank you for ur help
