Slowly scroll to other parts of the screen

My Window size is 1/4 the size of my layout. Therefore, I feel like I can get 4 static screens out of this layout.

So I would like to push a button from within the starting view and have the screen slowly scroll to the right.

I know I can use the System Set scroll X ... and this works as far as location but its instantaneous.

I would like a little character in the transition... Anyone?

**I tried messing with time scale right before the scroll and that didnt do anything for me. I would really like some options like jquery UI has for animate... jqueryui.com/effect

Any plugins that do this sort of thing maybe?

Thanks!

Press right arrow to scroll each time.

Hope that helps. Let me know if you need anything explaining.

You want to use Lerp to scroll to it. It gives you that quick but more natural movement.

This looks just like what I will need! Thank you!!! Pretty straight-forward too... my ONLY question from glancing at it is this:

xScroll + 0.5 * dt   <----- What is 'dt' ?

No problem. Glad it's what you were after.

dt = deltatime, a great explanation here.

scirra.com/tutorials/67/delta-time-and-framerate-independence/page-1

(or "timedelta" if you're familiar with Construct Classic)

So in my example, since lerp is 0.0 - 1.0 (0% - 100%)

1.0 = moves 640pixels in 1 second

0.5 = moves 320pixels in 1 second

and so on.

I think I explained that right.. bit of a hangover still *groan* :)
