Scale a Tiled Background

Shall be nice if there was a option to scale the tiled background, most png's you can scale 200% and it still looks verry good, you save a lot of Vram and a lot of work to fill your levels , at least in my case, now I have to copy a few hunderd sprites for each level at scale 150% to 250%

while else I did the same with 50 tiled backgrounds

Forgot to tell that it was nice if you can rotate it to.

Hoply a good idea for C2, and..... nice to have in C1 as well

These options are already there. The actions are called

Set image angle

Set image offset

Set image scale

The wiki isn't all that bad

Thanks Tulamide, did not think about to check to do it with events but it's not what I want.

If you build levels in the layout editor you wanna see what you get, why its posible with sprites and not with tiled backgrounds that easy?

Its a solution what you give here but if you dont see it right away when building a level in the layout editor......

I dont see me change the rotation of a tiled background in the event sheet every time and jump back in the layout editor to see how it works out.

But I just see it from my point of view, and maybe for others it works out, it all depends also what kinda game and levels you build I think.

Don't take it negatieve, I appreciate youre help and I have learned from it, but I wish it was working the way I can use it at the moment

You can always try something like this to check the results at runtime :

Only works for power of 2 images though.

Thanks Prawnsushi, its a nice .cap example to learn from.

My pleasure

You can check the PVs values with the debugger. Once you like what you see, just set the values at start of layout.

And actually i made a little mistake : "on middle button down" should be 'on middle button clicked".

bleh.

Thanks again Prawnsushi

Is it possible to lock a tiled background into place, say if it covers the whole screen?

You can either lock the layer it's on (say it's the "BG" layer).

Or, you can right-click it and go to Lock Selected.

There is no 'Lock Selected' when right clicking on it, that's the first thing I tried.

That's very odd, since it should be an option in the right-click menu.

There's still locking the entire layer with the BG TiledBackground in it- I usually do that when I have an entire layer dedicated to Tiled Backgrounds.

The Right-Click option is under Hide/Lock>Lock Selected

Maybe that's how you missed it.

Err, where?

Uhh not in Construct 2.

Yeah, you've posted your question in a forum that's for C1, in a thread that's about C1, so you should really have posted a new thread in the C2 section, or at the very least, stated that you were talking about Construct 2.
