HOW TO: let reader move background on tappable game

[Guzzi]

I’m hoping to do a overlay tapping game and I want the reader to be able to pan to certain zones with just a swipe…how do I do that?

Section #3: Pannable overlays

Pannable overlays are more advanced, but still relatively simple to figure out. Here is a basic code:
( note: all of the overlays and backgrounds are still from Episode themselves – so there will be no errors or approval necessary to use in a script )

EXT. CAMPUS GARDEN - DAY with FANCY TOTE POMERANIAN BROWN TAN with FANCY TOTE CHIHUAHUA BROWN TAN with FANCY TOTE TERRIER BROWN BLACK

@overlay FANCY TOTE POMERANIAN BROWN TAN shifts to 66 129 in zone 1
@overlay FANCY TOTE POMERANIAN BROWN TAN scales to 0.928 0.928 in zone 1

@overlay FANCY TOTE CHIHUAHUA BROWN TAN shifts to 66 129 in zone 2
@overlay FANCY TOTE CHIHUAHUA BROWN TAN scales to 0.928 0.928 in zone 2

@overlay FANCY TOTE TERRIER BROWN BLACK shifts to 66 129 in zone 3
@overlay FANCY TOTE TERRIER BROWN BLACK scales to 0.928 0.928 in zone 3

tappable [pan:1:3]
“FANCY TOTE POMERANIAN BROWN TAN” {

NARRATOR
You chose a pomeranian!

} “FANCY TOTE CHIHUAHUA BROWN TAN” {

NARRATOR
You chose a chihuahua!

} “FANCY TOTE TERRIER BROWN BLACK” {

NARRATOR
You chose a terrier!

}

This works almost the exact same as the code used in section #2. Only, instead of adding just “tappable” before the rest of the code, you type, “tappable [pan:1:3]”. Keep in mind, that the “3” represents the max amount of zones the reader will be able to drag around the screen – and the “1” represents the minimum.

Thank you!!!
