Example: infinant tiled background

Yea, i know, I'm new to the forums but I've been lurking around for a month or so. But i noticed there is a lack of example of how to setup an infinite background so i decided to make one.

Although i have a feeling that I'm missing an easier way of doing this, but on the bright side it shows how to expand adjustable background scrolling to outside the normal layer "window"

Nice example!

There is a way to do it with a single event.

• First, you need a tiled background with texture in size of power of two (16x16, 32x32, 256x256 ex.)
• Put the tiled background on a layer that has 0% X and Y scroll rates. Make it cover the whole display.
• Make an Always event like this: +Always TiledBackground: Set offset to ScrollX, ScrollY[/code:2bejle25] (You can add a factor like ScrollX*0.5, ScrollY*0.5 to make it scroll more slowly)
• You'll also need to scroll the display, just add this to the Always event: > System Scroll to X ScrollX+(MouseX-ScrollX)*TimeDelta

System Scroll to Y ScrollY+(MouseY-ScrollY)*TimeDelta

[/code:2bejle25]

(This will always scroll the display smoothly toward mouse coordinates)

Make sure you have Unbounded scrolling ticked in Layout Properties

Voila!
