Members of one Struct
| Member name | - Description | ||
| INT camera | - The processID of the process to be followed (default: 0). | ||
| INT height | - The height of the camera. This variable sets the height of the camera in relation to the bottom. A positive number will put the camera position higher, when a negative number is used, then the camera is placed beneath the folded surface, and shows the ceiling instead of the ground. (defualt: 32). | ||
| INT distance | - Distance of the camera related to the process it follows. It's position is placed a little bit behind the processID wich is associated with the camera field of the mode7 structure. (default: 64). | ||
| INT horizon | - Height of the horizon. This is the same value as indicated in the corresponding argument of the Start_mode7 function. It's initial value will be equal to the function's parameter when the function is initiated. With this field it is possible to look "up" or "down". | ||
| INT focus | - Adjusts the camera lens, this value controls the camera's perspective. The value can range between 0 and 512. With this you can warp the surface. The higher the value is, the closer the processes are placed on the plane (default: 256). | ||
| INT z | - The Z-coordinate of the scroll window (default: 256). | ||
| INT color | - This field controls the color of the mode7 border. When the external graphic is not specified in the Start_mode7() function, this variable will control the color in wich you would like to use for the border. (default: 0). | ||
| INT flags | - Bit flags. |
