So i started my own pixel movement methodology. I have

http://www.byond.com/members/MrTophat/files/test.zip.zip

to deal with camera issues now... it works just fine now :O... well there isn't mob detection, but that's easy to add >_> now that i have the basis for collision detection laid.

I wanna know how to get rid of that "jump back" look when my mob is at the end of tiles.

I'd also like to move the camera, 3 pixels at a time, but I'm carelessly unaware how to do that. Advice?

the bulk of the code... ignore the commented out parts... I'm just now curious, i can get the center of the screen to work just fine, but i want to be able to have a graphical display that works as well... confused.

mob
    animate_movement=0

//to change camera use
    src.client.pixel_y
    src.client.pixel_x
    //each square you walk try to reset them so they wont get higher than 
    //the max value and bug your camera

In response to Karffebon
animate movement... of course. Thank you so much! works flawlessly now! yay lag free pixel movement ^_^
