How do I Scroll To Object At Half Speed

When the player dies the camera "scrolls to" re-spawn point at normal speed. How do i change it so the camera scrolls to the re-spawn point at half speed.

I tried changing the time scale but that had no effect.

Thanks for any help.

Depends on how you are 'scrolling'. Capx?

Hey thanks for the reply TiAm

Here ya go.

Well, you may have sorted this out by now, but here goes:

Look for 'Tmod' to find some comments I left. A few other things I noticed:

1. You are building you levels with TiledBG objects. Any reason why? Tilemap is a lot easier for this sort of thing.

2. All the TiledBG objects have physics+solid. Again: why? Physics has a hell of an overhead if you don't need it (I don't see it referenced in your events anywhere).

3. In one place you were using an animation frame as a condition to spawn an object (your player). This is a bad idea, as frames can be skipped, or stay onscreen longer than you intend. In your case, this occasionally led to 3 or 4 players being created on re-spawn. I patched it by inserting a 'trigger once' condition after it, but you should still re-jigger this logic.

Oh, and while it's probably way overkill for your present project, there also magicam:

Uh, I haven't come across using tilemap yet, but I believe i read using BG is better for performance. Although the BG_Tiled_Blok is more aesthetic, i was using the physics to contain the food when created. I think w/o the physics the food would fly out and overlap the BG Bloks. I will have to go back and check on this.

I was trying to get the exact second to spawn the player. When the beam of light hits the ground and bounces back up, that's when i wanted to spawn the player. I guess i could have used a System Wait event to do that.

Yeah, I was trying to stay away from plugins. At one point i was using the tween plugin but on asking for help and posting my capx some users didn't have it. So I found a workaround using just the sine behavior, and it's a bit easier for me to add that logic.

Also, on the "ScrollBud" event & action, you just fried my brain with that! I'm gonna need to spend some time to look all that up & understand that better.

Again, thank you for all your help.
