Hello all, I appear to be having an issue with the background of my game-
Typically I would figure out the issue myself, but what confusing me is that upon re-loading the issue fixes itself, then re-appears after playing again.
Here is the game. If you’d like to find the issue naturally it is directly behind the gate on the far right end of the map. If not you can just drag the player over to the gate. Getting there through Gameplay might be a bit difficult at the moment- combat is a bit broken.
In order to attack you must press “1”, then to continue the combo press “2”, then repeat. You cannot move without completing the combo.
This is the issue, the castle background should not be past the gate. It should stop where the grass begins. I have checked the camera, and it is not repeating. I’m not sure what the issue could be other than that.
Personally, I don’t mess with objects in the Background layer, I just make them as a game layer object, set the display order to 1 with no collisions, while all other objects are 2 or more for their display order.
Although I never had issues with background objects repeating unless it was selected, but then again, I rarely use background objects, mostly since back in the day, you couldn’t put code into them, so I just avoided them entirely.
Fair enough, if that is the only solution that is what I will do. Maybe it is because of the script used in my background objects. I didn’t figure that would cause anything since it’s just to make them transparent, but perhaps that will fix it. If not I will get back to you, thank you all for the help!
Now that I have posted about the game I also have a question. Is it preferred by the community to keep update logs, or should I keep the game hidden until it is completed?
Completely understandable, my question was more of a “what is typically done in this community”, because I am completely okay with keeping it hidden until completion, but if update logs are more of what the forums are used for than I’d also be happy to keep one!
This is not a very serious community, you don’t have to be all formal and stuff. Also btw its completely fine on how you wanna show/represent your game, if you wanna show it when its finished, sure. If you wanna do update logs, sure, Whatever. The glorious off topic channel of destiny 5 or what we call it “OTC” is kind of a great place to start. Its a topic where we just kinda be ourselves, memes, game talk, whatever.
I completely understand not needing to be formal, I just tend to be anyways. It helps maintain a serious reputation, and present yourself as more approachable.
Otherwise perhaps I’d be more informal in an off topic channel, otherwise I prefer to keep myself a bit more formal. Thank you for the advice, maybe I will use the OTC so that I do not clog the forums with an unnecessary update log.
I recommend you keeping updates in your own topic (in a single one), not on the OTC. Its not clogging up the forums because showing your game is kinda the point of the forums.
@SwordScript You have 2 “Camera” behaviors. I’m not actually sure why it’s an issue as it appears to not be in the level though. But the Camera in the “Camera” object has “Repeat Background” selected, if you remove that the issue is fixed.
It’s understandable why having two camera would mess things up, however only 1 is in the level, so I’ll have to ask Grazer to look into it
Ah yes I see now, I hadn’t originally noticed that you said that already. I will attempt the fixes recommended as soon as possible, I am just away from my Laptop at the moment
