Any way to simulate scroll-to "shake"?

Any way to do this? I am doing my scrolling manually, and I miss this cool feature.

Always

-Set Scrollx to Player.x+Player.shake

-Set Scrolly to Player.y+Player.shake

+Player.shaketime>0

-Subtract 60*dt from Player.shaketime

-Set Player.shake to -10+random(20)

+Something happens

-Set Player.shaketime to 10 or something

Could use some tweaking to have the shake get weaker over time or be more consistent, but this should do!

Tokinsom, that has a problem... you can end off getting way off where the scroll is supposed to be, as the next value is generated from the adjusted value...

+Player.shaketime <= 0

+Trigger once

-Set Player.shake to 0

You just have to get rid of the offset that Player.shake causes when the shake ends.

Yeah, but if I want the shake to go for an extended period of time...

What does that have to do with it? During the shake the scroll offset can only go from -10 to 10, and will stay anywhere in-between until shaketime hits 0. When that happens everything should be reset, setting the scroll position back to the player.

if you do a

set scroll to lerp(scroll,player,dt)[/code:29x80mzq]

just use a variable as intermediate.
[code:29x80mzq]set scrollVar to lerp(scrollVar,player,dt)
set scroll to scrollVar[/code:29x80mzq]

Then you can easily add any noise you want on that
[code:29x80mzq]set scrollVar to lerp(scrollVar,player,dt)
set scroll to scrollVar + random(-20,20)[/code:29x80mzq]

(note: I didn't split things into X and Y... I'll let you do that )

Can someone explain how this works please in a bit more detail. <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

This is my Camera settings to shake.

Every Tick > Sroll to position > X: PlayerBox.X

                        Y: lerp(PlayerBox.Y - WindowHeight /6.0, ScrollY, 0.5)

Layout size: 1.5

or up a .capx that would be sweet.

OK I figured it out

Global Variable: ShakeVar: 0

Shake by N7Effect, on Flickr

Ex: every 0.001/(Everytick) seconds: Animation playing "Shoot"

o.o people use flickr for construct2 0.0 keep going people nice idea :P

I'm looking into this, I have custom scrolling, and I tried the Shift effect and my own custom... I don't like how it looks.. I need something that will "reduce in magnitude" with some sort of easing like a lerp or something...

Currently I have:

Set ShakeAmount to ShakeCountdown * (MaxShakeAmount / ShakeDuration)

ScrollTo position lerp(scrollx,sprite.X + (random(ShakeAmount+(ShakeAmount*2),ShakeAmount)),0.05) //and do the same for Y

sorry I know this is an old thread, just wondered if anyone ever figured a good way with custom scrolling...
