called “Scene Change”. Basically you set your scenes spread apart in your world and set a dummy camera view to each scene. When moving the camera point of view from one scene to the next, you fade out in the world, move to the next scene and fade back in (having
changed characters, etc. while faded out). There is an OBJECT file named “ground2.a2c” which you can IMPORT into your world that allows you to change the ground “skin texture” property (the 6 standard ground choices) AS THE PROGRAM RUNS.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
