Layer Scroll Rates and Tile Based Lighting

Hey guys, quick question...

I've created a tile-based lighting system (similar to minecraft/terraria) but I'm also using parallax scrolling to create depth, because the light sources are in different layers, their "reflected light" appears on layers with different scroll rates, and therefore becomes detached visually from the light source. Does anyone know a way I can compensate for this?

Thanks in advance

A guy in chat and I were working on this a while back. Here's the formula.

X = self.OriginalX + (scrollX - scroll_OriginalX) * (1-ParallaxAmount)

That works for keeping something 'stationary' superimposed on the parallax layer. Same for Y, obviously.

I'll give that a try, thanks for the reply!!

Let me know if it doesn't work!

I'm afraid I'm not quite sure what you mean in the formula "scroll_OriginalX" where is this being referenced from?

I managed to tweak the formula you offered and achieved the exact results I wanted, thank you for your help. What I wound up using was X = OriginalX + (ScrollX * ScrollRate (in this case 50%) * offset (as my object appeared to the left of where they needed to be but scrolled properly) so thank you again for the assistance!!

here's how it turned out :)

Cool, glad it got working.
