Paralax Scrolling (how?)

by Danny O Dwyer · in Torque X Platformer Kit · 10/04/2007 (5:44 am) · 2 replies

Hey all,

Just finished creating one of the backgrounds for my opening level, and i cant get the elements to paralax scroll. I applied the material to a scroller, and then assigned the parallax componant to it. MEssed around with the figures too, but no joy.

I must be missing something easy, but the super scant documentation was no help. Any1 have the simple answer?

Thanks in advance!

You have to set the target of the parallax manager. If you check out the demo project you'll see this in BeginRun on in Game.cs:

// set the parallax manager's target object
T2DSceneCamera camera = TorqueObjectDatabase.Instance.FindObject<T2DSceneCamera>("Camera");
ParallaxManager.Instance.ParallaxTarget = camera;

In this case, "Camera" is the name of the camera in the scene file.
