This is a library which allows for you to simply create complex layer movement. You can
download it here! For examples and how to use, see "Loading & Examples".
To load it, simply put this in your luna.lua file:
Code: Select all
local slm = require("simpleLayerMovement")
Here are some examples:
Circular Movement
Code: Select all
slm.addLayer{name = "move 1",movement = slm.MOVEMENT_CIRCLE,speed = 64,verticalDistance = 1,horizontalDistance = 1.5}
slm.addLayer{name = "move 2",movement = slm.MOVEMENT_CIRCLE,speed = 32,distance = 0.5}
Code: Select all
slm.addLayer{name = "move 1",verticalMovement = slm.MOVEMENT_LOOP,verticalSpeed = 2,verticalDistance = 320}
Code: Select all
slm.addLayer{name = "move 1",speed = 96,horizontalMovement = slm.MOVEMENT_COSINE,horizontalSpeed = 64,horizontalDistance = 1}
Code: Select all
slm.addLayer{name = "move 1",movement = slm.MOVEMENT_POINTS,speed = 1,points = {vector(64,32),vector(96,96),vector(-96,96),vector(-64,32),vector(0,0)}}
slm.addLayer{name = "move 2",movement = slm.MOVEMENT_POINTS,speed = 3,points = {vector(48,-48),vector(96,0),vector(0,0)}}

Finally we won't have crazy jank moving layers. This will be very useful.

I don't understand how to use the script =(. I wrote local slm = require("simpleLayerMovement") in my lua file from the level. Packed the lua file from the script in my level folder. I don't understand where and how I should now register my layer from the editor. Can someone explain that to me in a bit more detail

You cannot use it from the editor itself. You need to add some extra code to your luna.lua file (like what's shown in the "examples" part of the post).

I know how to address layers from the lua file. I have read the code several times and do not understand where to place my layer. Is it possible to upload a small demo level where i can see how it works? maybe?! :/

All you need to do to get started is copy and paste the examples into your luna.lua file, and change the names. If you are having trouble, you can send your current code to let me see what's wrong with it.
