Best way to have a repeating background

Hi guys,

I've had a good look around but haven't been able to find anything regarding repeating backgrounds. Basically I want an image to keep moving left and effectively "wrap" around so that it seems as if it's infinite.

Can anyone suggest the best method for this?

Thanks

    Yup, tick "wrap" for the X axis under the scene attributes. Although in the case of my game (a side-scrolling shooter), this was no good so I did a lot of mucking around with spawning new identical actors every X seconds etc... a lot of mucking around getting it perfect but works.

    Actually, for a 2D game engine, it's ridiculous that this isn't easily done (in the case of scrolling shooters, as bullets re-appear up your ass). Add a +1 to this link!!!
