Background move horizontal

[johnstag123]

Hi, I'eve been using renpy for quite a while now and I'm wondering how do you make a Bg move horizonatal (left to right.) I need it for the menu screen.

This is the picture I want to move horizontal

Thanks in advance.

Do you want an animation of the sky moving across the screen like the clouds are in a breeze? If so here's how to do that inside the game:

Code: Select all

image bg clouds:
    parallel:
            "./sky_tile.jpg"
    parallel:
            xpos 0 ypos 0 xanchor 0 yanchor 0
            linear 5.0 xpos -1200 ypos 0
            repeat
# The game starts here.
label start:
    scene bg clouds
    menu:
        "Clouds?":
            "Yep!"

    return

I had to make my own 2400 pixel wide tiling version of your image to make the transition smooth.

I don't think this will work with the title menu, but here's a topic about animating title screens that may or may not be helpful (I must admit I didn't understand all of it myself!).

Note: I am really not an expert on animation so this may not be the best approach.

The same than sqbr has said, a little simpler:

Code: Select all

image bg clouds:    
    "sky_tile.jpg"
    yalign .5 # not needed if your image has the same height than the screen
    block:
        xalign 0.0
        linear 5.0 xalign 1.0
        repeat

# The game starts here.
label start:
    scene bg clouds
    menu:
        "Clouds?":
            "Yep!"
    return

In a screen:

Code: Select all

add "bg clouds"
