  well, if you wrap everything with the wrap behaviour except the player ,

  and you move everything in opposite direction of the player then it would have that effect.

  but i see the catch, hmm best bet is to try the wrap behaviour

  this one is for background looping with wrapping, press right key and background will loop indefinetly

  this could be used for active content looping i guess

  (and could be much improved)

  hey, made this with physics and particle attachement,

  when i made it it gave me alot of ideas so i thought i would share it

  controls are with mouse

  scroll up

  scroll down

  =control power of force , if you scroll down a couple of times it pushes away the particles

  space = create new physic object

  hold leftmouse = add force with extra force when coming close to pointer

  hold rightmouse = add force

  hey guys, so i wanted to create some kind of squadrons, based on an image with imagepoints

  on creation of the squadron image , 5 ships are send to each of the imagepoints,

  that works, but i have trouble to get the next ships to go to the new squadron

  the picking seems right, but i cant get the imagepoints from the next squadron

  press "a" for creation of squadron

  its now setup (to work) for 2 squadrons

  thanx for clearing that up

  and what about this:

  set variable targetx to

  formation.ImagePointX("pos" & loopindex & "x")

  in the text object i seems to say pos5x so thats ok but it doesnt give the value to the targetx var

  check your game in the debug mode, and check to see if there is not some number goiing crazy in value, global and private , you should always have a reset counter event.

  but i also had crashes with has to do with collision per pixel i think, so i try not to use it, until hopefully a better version arrives

  no the offset works

  i just tested it by adding a global var 'counter'

  and always add 1 to the counter en put that var in x offset

  you could do it like this, it uses two background/sprites set next to each other moving at the same x speed - at the end of the screen the first one sets it back to the beginning,

  done it quickly, you could much improve it using vars, you could even use the same sprite i guess, with some picking event

  but just shows the idea

  well if its of by only a couple pixels, its likely to be the hotspot of your sprite is not exactly at the centre, so it points a bit more to one side
