Functions Provided For Setting Effect Look-At Types

The following table provides an overview of all functions to modify effect look-at types:

 

Remarks

The effects sometimes offer just a selection of all the look-at types which are listed below. The function SetLookAtType will only set look-at types which are offered by the effect.

 

Look-At Type Constants

 

Example

This macro example randomly changes the look-at type each second. It works with the »SCE Image or »SCE Ticker / Scrolling Text effect, for example. (In the SCE Image effect, please load at least one image.)
