Wake Up weird shaking effect - RavenInvazion - 11-09-2015
Hello,
Although I've recently started my adventure with HPL editor, I wanted to make a nice start for the game, using Wake Up script. My coding is very amateur, though I kind of understand what is where and why. Here it is:
PHP Code:
void OnStart()
{
wakeUp();
}
void wakeUp ()
{
FadeOut(0); // Instantly fades the screen out. (Good for starting the game)
FadeIn(20); // Amount of seconds the fade in takes
PlaySoundAtEntity("Player", "react_breath.snt", "Player", 0.1, false);
FadeImageTrailTo(2, 2);
FadeSepiaColorTo(100, 4);
SetPlayerActive(false);
FadePlayerRollTo(50, 220, 220); // "Tilts" the players head
FadeRadialBlurTo(0.15, 2);
SetPlayerCrouching(true); // Simulates being on the ground
AddTimer("trig1", 11.0f, "beginStory"); // Change '11.0f' to however long you want the 'unconciousness' to last
}
void beginStory(string &in asTimer)
{
ChangePlayerStateToNormal();
SetPlayerActive(true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("Player", "react_breath.snt", "Player", 0.1, false);
FadePlayerRollTo(0, 33, 33); // Change all settings to defaults
FadeRadialBlurTo(0.0, 1);
FadeSepiaColorTo(0, 4);
SetPlayerCrouching(false);
FadeImageTrailTo(0,1);
PlaySoundAtEntity("Player", "react_pant.snt", "Player", 0.1, false);
}
When I enter the game, it begins fine, but as soon as my character "opens eyes" the view is heavily shaking. I tried removing some functions from the script, but it didn't help at all. I've read that the spawn point shouldn't touch anything, but mine is floating in the middle of a room, and there's enough space for it. I appreciate any help.[/quote]

Shaking? Does it not happen if you exclude the entire sequence?
Since there's no StartScreenShake effect in there, I can only think of it being caused by FadeRadialBlurTo or FadeImageTrailTo. The others don't really impact such a thing in any way.

I think I've noticed it happen with FadePlayerRollTo. If it doesn't disappear when excluding FadeRadialBlur, try FadePlayerRollTo.

Excluding FadeRadialBlur reducedd the shaking effect a bit, but excluding FadePlayerRollTo after this removed the shaking completely.

You should try testing around with see if it happens every time you use those scripts because it really shouldn't. Though, I have experienced that sometimes the RadialBlur or ImageTrail can be a bit too strong, but I haven't experienced the rolling to make things shaky. All it should do is rotate the camera view.
RE: Wake Up weird shaking effect - RavenInvazion - 11-11-2015
Hm... it seems that RadialBlur alone isn't causing it, but whenever I add PlayerRollTo, the shaking appears.
Edit: I lowered the PlayerRollTo speed and it removed the shake effect. Weird.
