in Working with GS (Mac)
I have created 3 actors for the scene background, ground, trees, mountain.

I have created the pics that i will use for each of them.

(trees) ie: I have created a move rule, that move in direction 180, relative to actor in a stacked way, at speed of 5.. seems to scroll fine (left) now i want the image to continue to follow itself (continuously scrolling through out the game)

would i need to re spawn the image to follow itself?

much help needed.. cheers

    @DeepBlueApps‌ I was actually just tearing apart santago to find your background spawning rules and couldn't find them. Reason being, I have a problem with my ground plane.

    I have rules of my own for spawning at the width of the image once it's passed a certain threshold, however, tearing occurs by about 1 pixel. Once actors start spawning the images tear even more, (maybe 5 or 6 more pixels due to lag?) leaving obvious gaps between them. This is an image that needs to lay perfectly to the next image, and I cannot seem to find a way for it to work.

    @tarsiustudio Thanks! I knew there was something simple for this but I was searching for all the wrong terms.

    Can't believe I didn't see it right in front of me. :)

    do not worry, there are times you can not solve a problem and then you realize that's nonsense and you had it right before the problem hehe. Greetings and glad I could help
