Parallax Background for 2D platformer?
by Ryan Ray Lynch · in Torque Game Builder · 12/10/2011 (9:24 am) · 3 replies
Hello,
In a lot of 2D platformers, I see multiple layers of backgrounds that scroll alongside the character when the player moves, and comes to a stop when the player stops moving. I'm trying to mimic this in my 2D platformer, but I'm only seeing the option to either have the background scroll or to just keep it static.
I was hoping to have the backgrounds scroll left and right at different speeds (depending on distance) when the character moves, as well as have them move when the player goes higher or lower.
Not asking for anyone to make this for me, but could someone point me in the right direction to creating something like this, if possible?
I tried searching, but the results were not only old, but they mostly involved backgrounds that scroll on their own.
Thanks!,
Ryan

I have the perfect thing for you, assuming you have access to the TDN. Anyhow, there's a behavior that adds exactly what you are looking for. Just attach the behavior, pick the "player" object, and set the speed. Check it out here:tdn.garagegames.com/wiki/TGB/Behaviors/Parallax_Object
