How do you make an auto-scrolling background?

[Blaze Dragon]

Greetings, new to clickteam fusion 2.5 so I apologize for my "noob-ness". I am attempting to make an old school 2D driving game. I want to make the background which is picture of a road, auto scroll vertically. To simulate driving. The player obj would be stationary and moved to different points from a top-down view via the arrow keys. I've attempted to go into event editor and create an "Always", then storyboard controls and select scrollings center vertical position of window in frame. I then calculate the center and save.

However when I execute to test, the background is still stationary...

Can anyone help?

I think there is a way with offset but I do not remember how
Check online tutorials

My way is to have 2 times the same background and when first background is out of screen second one comes in ^^

How do I do that? I can't even get the background to move :S I've attempted to search for tutorials. Looks like the clickteam community website is down and I can't find anything on reddit. Most of the videos online show how to follow an object with the camera or do a parralax scrolling background for a side scroller.

There used to be a bunch of doodle jump tutorials but it looks like all the videos were taken down. Not sure why but it's easy to do.

All you have to do is make your background an active and place one starting on the main frame then say something like Always position object to object's current Y position -1 (or + depending on which way you want it to scroll).

Then you will have to add things like, if it reaches a certain Y position, to reposition it. You can duplicate the background and lay them one underneath each other so they keep "following" each other.

That will get your started at least!

I would have sent you here but the video is gone =/

Thank you, I'll give it a go

If you're using layers you can have a counter add 1 every tick, then set the layer's X or Y position to the counter's current value using the Layer Object

Make sure to also reset the counter at whatever value you want the background to loop at (in my case 32, as the repeating background is 32 pixels wide), or it will just scroll by once.

Honestly you need to learn more about programming with clickteam before moving on from this point. Sorry.

Well, this thread is from over four years ago, so he might be able to do it by now.
