Quick question about scrolling?
Is it normal for sprites in scrolling games to always stay on the edge of the screen?
It's like if I walk away from something it'll move away but you can still see it at the edge of the screen?
Am I making sense o.o?

Re: Quick question about scrolling?
you mean how the terrain doesn't scroll all the way off the edge of the screen and it just stays on the edge?
Yeah, that happens.

Re: Quick question about scrolling?
You could try 'if touching edge, hide'. That... *might* do it.

No, it wouldn't.

That's what I was afraid of... I really know NOTHING about scrollers, they've never been my thing to make.

Re: Quick question about scrolling?
That is one way to do it, but here is a script scrollers commonly use.
when gf clicked forever go to x: ((scroll x) + ([480] x [0])) y: ((scroll x) + ([480] x [0])) if <<([abs v] of (x position)) > [460]> or <([abs v] of (y position)) > [340]> hide else show endIf the object still doesn't hide while off screen, click on it, look at its x and y positions, and adjust the greater than numbers to a little below what you see.
Edit: where it says or, it cuts off. It is the same as the first part, with x poistion changed to y position, and the number changed to 340.

Fixed. That is a really annoying glitch. :3

Re: Quick question about scrolling?
So for your question about scrolling... ya your making sense and ya that's normal. One way of dealing with it is adding a border to your project to hide the terrain on the edges!
...ya, I'm weird... REAL weird...BITBOT ALL THE WAY!!! Only the WEIRDEST games! (that's just a Tree-Hugger thing)

Re: Quick question about scrolling?
I usually add a black border around my game to fix that, but there are ways to fix it with scripts too.
