I need a better script in my project (https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/500226543 ) for a panorama.
My script:

define Panorama
clear
switch costume to [size v]
set size to (500) %
switch costume to [panorama v]
go to x: (() - (((timer) * (20))mod(1500))) y: (0)

It's almost perfect, but it doesn't loop seamlessly. Please help!

can you share the project?

he/she meant share the LINK to the project, it is much easier than us having to go to your profile to try and find it.

forever
if <(() - (((timer) * (20)) mod (1500))) > [1475]> then
set [brightness v] effect to (((((timer) * (20)) mod (1500))-(-1475))*(4))
end
if <(() - (((timer) * (20)) mod (1500))) < [25]> then
set [brightness v] effect to (((1)/(((timer) * (20)) mod (1500)))*(100))
end
end

Add this
Your game looks great so far

No, it led to a 404 page because of an extra character at the end of the link. The project was shared yesterday.

Wow, thank you so much! I will add this to my project and see how it works. Thank you!!

Sadly, the script doesn't work… maybe it's because of the brightness blocks?

It worked for me… let me look at it more. Maybe I wrote it down wrong…

It's fixed(or it should be)

forever
if <(() - (((timer) * (20)) mod (1500))) < [-1475]> then
set [brightness v] effect to (((((timer) * (20)) mod (1500))-(-1475))*(4))
end
if <(() - (((timer) * (20)) mod (1500))) > [-25]> then
set [brightness v] effect to (((1)/(((timer) * (20)) mod (1500)))*(100))
end
end

end

But why the brightness blocks? Can you explain how it works? It still isn't working for me…

The brightness will get dark at the end, then will get light in the beginning.
Which doesn't make it seamless.
But if you wanted to make it seamless, you would have to edit your art, not your scripts.
Add the blocks inside the forever script into the panorama custom block.

Ok, now I get it! I though it was a script to make the panorama loop, not to make it seamless. It works! But, after it loops 1 time it turns white….

A different strategy:

forever
if <(() - (((timer) * (20)) mod (1500))) < [-1475]> then
change [brightness v] effect by (-4)
end
if <(() - (((timer) * (20)) mod (1500))) > [-25]> then
change [brightness v] effect by (4)
end
end

This is simpler and more effective. I wonder why this didn't occur to me immediately.

Yay, it finally works. Thank you! I added it into my project. But do you know if there is a script that could make the panorama loop endlessly? This is great, but I want to see if anyone can make a script that does that.

I don't think that's a scripting problem, that's an art problem.

Maybe, but I'm pretty sure it can be accomplished with code. I saw a project that made a panorama loop perfectly, but that user wouldn't let anyone use their code.

Don´t worry, you just get anything you need and give they credit.
