Edit: Didn't see this in the GS2 forums, so the script is in GS1. But it can be easily converted using the same idea.
Alright, this is an extremely poor method of creating this illusion, but I created a simple script in demonstrating it. There could be errors as I made this in about 5 minutes, but here goes anyways:
PHP Code:
//#CLIENTSIDE
if (created) {
this.offset_x = 1; // offsets the image 16 pixels to the right so the mouse doesn't block it
this.offset_y = 1; // offsets 16 pixels down for the same reason
this.width = imgwidth(block.png); // the width of the image i'm using block.png
setarray this.offset_z,this.width; // controls the z-coor of each row of pixels
setarray this.offset_zmode,this.width; // controls whether the z-coors should go up or down
for(this.i=0; this.i<32; this.i++) this.offset_z[this.i] = this.i; // sets the starting positions
timeout = .05; // begins the timeout for showimgs
}
if (timeout) {
for(this.i=0; this.i<32; this.i++) { // loops thru each pixel row of the image
for(this.j=0; this.j<32; this.j++) { // loops thru the pixel columns
showimg2 200 + this.i * 32 + this.j,block.png,this.offset_x + mousex + this.i / 16,this.offset_y + mousey + this.j / 16,this.offset_z[this.i] / 16; // shows every pixels of the image at its original location with the exception of the z-coors which are decided by the arrays
changeimgpart 200 + this.i * 32 + this.j,this.i,this.j,1,1; // shows a pixel as opposed to the entire image
}
}
for(this.i=0; this.i<32; this.i++) {
if (this.offset_zmode[this.i] == 0) { // if the pixel is moving upwards
if (this.offset_z[this.i] + 1 == 32) { // if the pixel reaches the top
this.offset_zmode[this.i] = 1; // changes mode
}else this.offset_z[this.i]++; // otherwise continue upwards movement
}else{ // if the pixels are moving downwards
if (this.offset_z[this.i] - 1 == 16) { // as the pixels reach halfway down
this.offset_zmode[this.i] = 0; // change modes
}else this.offset_z[this.i]--; // otherwise continue downwards movement
}
}
timeout = .05; // continues loop
}
Once again very poor method. Also this will lag with giant images.
