Sonic Worlds Parallax Trouble.

[RetroGamer20002]

Hello, I am trying to use a parallax, But it is not going very well. I can remember one time i found Damizean's Parallax Tutorial once on my PC, But my PC broke and i have been searching over google for one with Scrolling Clouds and water rippling,eg. I use Sonic Worlds 0.5 and the one i found out about on LakeFeperd's website is not quite what i want.

Alrighty, I'd recommend moving to a newer version of worlds, but if you're sticking with this one...

 

for water rippling, I think you're going to have to animate that piece of parallax, just put all of the animations on top of each other (make a parallax for each frame of the animation) and give it all the same alterable values so they move the same.

 

Now for how to program the animation...

 

It's something like

add 1 to a value

value = 1
show parallax 1
hide parallax 2
hide parallax 3

Value = 2
hide parallax 1
show parallax 2
hide parallax 3

 

Value = 3

hide parallax 1

hide parallax 2

show parallax 3

set value to 1

 

and keep going until you got all of the frames in order.

 

as for moving clouds, that isn't difficult at all.

 

Just use alterable value F which you will need to use "timer/-X"  X is the number, the bigger, the slower it will move.

 

I don't know if this solved your problem, but I really hope it did, lol.

Alternative means of doing water ripping: Perspective Object. It can create the water ripple effect you are looking for. Just make sure it is the same size as the water object, and your code keeps it positioned directly over the water object.
