Thank you, took me a while but I finally figured it out.

The title says it all, I'm simply looking for a way to keep track of the distance traveled by my infinite jumper player, and display it in the game. Thank you in advance!

Thanks, got it working, went with a different method though. Agreed, but one question to everyone. When using the infinite runner template I made sure everything was the same but corresponding to a y axis. I figured out everything including the background moving up, even though accomplished this a different way I want to know this method as well just so I have the knowledge. So with that being said, these are the problems, the background is moving faster than the player, the background does not repeat it only moves, is this how the infinitely "repeating" background works? Thank you for your time.

Thank you for the prompt reply, unfortunately I've tried this method, and the tiled background just can't seem to stop moving downwards.

Hey guys, I'm working on an infinite jumper game, it's going to be amazing. I spend hours learning as much as I can everyday about construct. I want to yield the full potential of this great software. I've tried countless times on efforts of creating an infinitely scrolling vertical background, but I've had no luck since. Please, if anyone knows a way I can successfully produce a an infinitely scrolling vertical background seen in games such as Doodle Jump and Mega Jump, I would truly appreciate it greatly. Thank you for your time, I hope that this post will allow me to gain the knowledge necessary for me to move on to the next step with my game and many others. <img src="smileys/smiley20.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
