Fix object position in a wide panoramic background

Games
#1

Pardon me for the noob question but . . .

We are planning to use a single wide panoramic background for a game which is divided into 2 sections. We use an offset value to add/subtract the background.y property on our arrow button event.

The problem is that objects (ie. trees) from the first section keep appearing even when we adjust to the second section of our background.

How do you prevent this? Is there a better implementation that we are not aware of?

Happy to try to help, but could you please clarify your question? What exactly do you mean when you say your background is “divided into 2 sections”? And what exactly do you mean when you say objects from the first section “keep appearing” when you “adjust to the second section”?

Ack! Almost completely forgot about this question because we implemented sidescrolling instead.
Hope this pic helps on describing the problem.

Anyway, we were able to find a solution (if unelegant) to the sectioning problem . . . . ummm . . . how do i set this thing to [SOLVED] ??? [import]uid: 179529 topic_id: 31540 reply_id: 127301[/import]
