Change Background TIle

Hi guys,

Is it possible to have a background tile span for a certain distance and then swap to a different background tile ?

Im just wondering how to do such a thing for a platform game ?

Thank you

Not to worry, I worked it out now.

— Creepers Hey gratz!

Can you post how you did it? :)

Hey Peret,

Im a beginner, so Im not sure that this is right, but all i did was drag out one tiled bg to repeat the amount of times i needed and then simply created a new tile within the same layer and lined it up next to it. I did a test within a browser and there didnt seem to be any seam issues at all ! I hope this helps :)

:) ok thanks

That's cool. I'm using a similar solution with my infinite "flier" game. I'm having a bit of an issue when changing from the second to the third background (its just vanishing for no obvious reason) but it seems to work. I put one bg on top of the other and use a custom timer and a set of events to "swap them".

Ashley- if your'e around mon. A Swap object function or event would be awesome not just for backgrounds but for everything in a game.

I solved my own issue with the background not showing properly... it turns out i forgot to set the wrap to "view port" setting on the background that wasn't showing... now it works correctly
