Parallax Question or Seamless Background

CaptFinn

Ok
Project:

Portrait
Ipad

background Image 768 wide 2048 High

Scene is set same and the Y is wrapped.

Image is given behavior "Move" Direction 270 Speed 100 Relative to scene Additive..

PushPlay to test.

Works fine.....fine.......fine......fine............fine.......... BAMMMM it Jumps and the screen is showing half Black half Image.

Its not seemless.

This use to work.

Image is a background of space. stars and galaxies and dust etc etc. moving in a downward motion to give the illusion of movement through space.

Does the background image go BAMMMMM when Y reaches -500 or thereabouts? (Or at 1548 since you have Y wrap checked to true.) I think that GameSalad destroys an actor if it is greater than 500 pixels outside the scene boundaries.

So you likely have a strange interaction between Y wrap and the 500 pixel limit.

still not working. Ive tried everything I can think of.

Space Background Image is set 768 wide and 2048 High for a Portrait iPad Project. Its set to "Move Direction 270, Speed 50. Relative to scene ( tried actor as well) Additive. But at some point while its running it jerks and you can see the project scene background color. I just want a seamless smooth flowing BG. But i need it so that whats leaving the screen isnt immediately coming back the other end.

Maybe break up the background into smaller images. That way, you're not moving such a large chunk of the background to the other side of the scene.

Ill try that Photics. Thanks
