I believe this is how Blizzard did this:


But I'm not 100% sure.  Basically, a picture that "follows" or is always centered on the player.

EDIT:
Blizzard made a dungeon demo which you can check out:

Nortos has a simpler technique which just uses the picture, no eventing:

But with the variables method, you can center it around any event, such as an NPC:

That's true, I stored the character's variables. What do you think? I can make a you a demo within the next couple of days? It will also feature a slippy floor. :)

That'd be great! I'm much better at learning something by actually looking at how it's put together than reading instructions. :D

If you wanna throw in any other cool systems/resources in there I'd appreciate it, lol.  ::) I'm looking for dungeon puzzles to use in my own project.

Also, I like this fountain a lot:

I'll add it to my resources in my photobucket account right away.

*powers you up* Thanks Blizz!

or you could just have a picture 640 x 480 that has low opacity levels in the centreand have the edges of the map where you can't walk so you're always centred around the player

Actually you need a 1280x960, it won't work with a 640x480. ;) Here's the demo.

*power up* Woot, thanks Blizz!

Great work Blizz!  :)

wait??? It worked for me O.o I had it just move with the player when I looked at it
EDIT: Here's a demo http://www.sendspace.com/file/yau8o1 (http://www.sendspace.com/file/yau8o1)

What do you think I did? There are 5 commands:

VAR[0002] = Store Player Screen X
VAR[0003] = Store Player Screen Y
VAR[0002] -= 641
VAR[0003] -= 481
Show Picture at [0002], [0003]

::)

I prefer my way :P but doesn't work unless the map is centred around the player where as yours would

I know. I noticed that problem and resolved it. :P

I just go lazy and make my maps bigger area but that area impassable :P

But with variables you can make it center around any event, like so:

Yeah, you can use smaller pictures like white blending ones to create cool lighting effects.

Whats going on??

there talking about diffrent ways to use blizzard's simple but cool system.
