[Scripting Question] How zoom the camara

[smiths12]

Hi everyone, I'm trying to figure out how to zoom in on the player because when I get to the left or right edge of the map, the black boxes appear and I have to make the map bigger ...

Reading through the forum I saw that it could be changed in Setting, in SCREEN_ZOOM = 1.0, but I have tried putting 2.0 and 0.5 and starting a new game and it doesn't work ..

I still see 6.5 tiles on the map when I get to the edge, I would like to see 4, does anyone know how to fix it? I leave a photo to clarify more

If you are not connecting maps, you can set the metadata to "Snapedges = TRUE" which means, if the player get close to the border of the map, the camera will stop following them.

Where is the SnapEdges? I do not get anything in the metadata.txt, in fact I don't even get the map that I created xD

 

[RiceGate]

Open the metadata.txt in the PBS folder, and it should be like this (This is an example of an outdoor area):

[001]
#Map Name
Outdoor = true
ShowArea = true
SnapEdges = true

Here is my metadata:
#-------------------------------
[001]
# Intro
#-------------------------------
[002]
# Lappet Town
BattleBack = field
MapPosition = 0,13,12
Outdoor = true
ShowArea = true
#-------------------------------
[003]
# \PN's house
MapPosition = 0,13,12
HealingSpot = 2,8,8
#-------------------------------
[004]
# Pokémon Lab
MapPosition = 0,13,12
ShowArea = false
#-------------------------------
[005]
# Route 1
BattleBack = field
MapPosition = 0,13,11
Outdoor = true
ShowArea = true
#-------------------------------
[006]
# Kurt's house
MapPosition = 0,13,11
#-------------------------------
[007]
# Cedolan City
MapSize = 2,11
MapPosition = 0,13,10
Outdoor = true
ShowArea = true
#-------------------------------

etc.. i don't see any SnapEdges, maybe was removed in v18..

here the file if u wanna see:

You add the SnapEdges yourself.

Now it works, thanks everyone.

Sorry, forgot to tell that by default, no map has Snapedges. By the way if you want to learn more about the metadata, read this: https://essentialsdocs.fandom.com/wiki/Metadata.

Also, if you enter the metadata using the essentials editor you can see all the parameters for each map, even if they are not wrote on pbs file.

 

[smiths12]

Yes, I have looked and it got the SnapEdges, the problem is that if you activate it, they don't work because the maps are connected.

Just pad your map's edges with 2-3 more rows of trees, the player won't see the black border then.

 

[smiths12]

Yes, I will, thank you.
