Scrolling Tiled Background.

I'm making a game where you drill into the earth and I'm using a scrolling tiled background that breaks away as you drill through it. My problem is that when I increase the scrolling speed (to have the effect that you're drilling faster) the newly spawned tiled backgrounds start to show gaps between them.

If your background is actually a Tiled Background Object, I recommend using just one tiled texture and resetting it instead of spawning one object after the other.

-IF-

[Tiled Background] Y is less or equal to Self.Height

THEN

[Tiled Background] Set Y to Self.Y - Self.Height / 2

Just set the height of your object match your LayoutHeight * 2

(I am assuming you are scrolling vertically. Otherwise, set Y and Height to X and Width).

For reference, check the Auto Runner Template that comes with Construct 2, there is a horizontally auto scrolling background in there.

Let me know if this help

I had the same question once and R0J0Hound got me a really good one-line code for this.

The code is:

Every tick -> Set tiledbackground Y position to (self.Y+10*dt)%256-256

Just switch the 256 for the height of the image. If you want to change the speed, just switch the 10 for something else.

Here's an example:
