I started with like 5 other videos that did everything but get to the point. Thank you. Worked Great!

[@dickvanthoff]

For those wanting the scroll to be an the Y axis, this code works for that: bgRenderer.material.mainTextureOffset += new Vector2(0, Time.deltaTime * speed); When doing "bgRenderer.material.mainTextureOffset += new Vector2(speed * 0, Time.deltaTime);" the scrolling did work for me, but the speed float did not affect the speed. Thank you for this video!

[@annaliese303]

if anyone's having trouble with layering their background images make sure the material is set to unlit>transparent cutout. i couldn't see the layers behind my front layer at first but this fixed it!

[@lukechaney3718]

I'm having an issue where the other backgrounds are getting distorted over time idk why

[@plutus9274]

I've been searching for this solution for the past hour tysm

[@ZabawneGierki-ot3ts]

Thanks, the other tutorials didn't work for me, but this one does!

[@RootGames]

Glad it works for you!

[@AK19204]

Excellent tutorial, it went straight to the point and it was easy to follow. Thank you for making this!

[@emindemir6659]

This was what I exactly wanted. Thank You!

[@Bergdwerg123]

Thanks, works like a charm.

[@abbbab]

goated tutorial

[@21CenturyBreakdownX]

Works great for a level that has a very consistent background. This might work for my far back background, but in order to stitch together different stages of the level (basically just change how the road the car is driving on looks when i reach the boss) I don't see how this could be used? Is there a technique to feed in a new texture during run time without it rapidly switching texture?

[@dcry1003]

Omg! And just an hour ago i was thinking of changing how my background works cuz i just attach an image of the background i made into the camera and change the position so it wont block other objects🤣 thank you very much!

[@splityTheMonkey]

how do you make it not block stuff i cant find out?

[@Mamaco915]

to the point thx for this :DD

[@RootGames]

My pleasure 😉

[@peterpahn8705]

the only real way lol thank u dude

[@RootGames]

No problem 😉

[@SeanWonder]

Awesome tutorial but where can we find the Scrolling Background script that you used? Should we just copy/paste this?

[@RootGames]

Hi! There is no script to download, just copy a few lines of code you see in the tutorial 😀

[@varjasib993]

Done as in the video, but as I used it it became significantly darker in color, any hints why, or how to brighten it?

[@kevjn1000]

did you set the material's shader to unlit/texture?

[@sete5721]

Can I use sprite renderer instead of mesh renderer?

[@RootGames]

No with this approach.

[@sete5721]

But sprite renderer can also have materials.. Is there any difference in perfomance or something? Sorry for keep asking.. I'm noob here

[@RootGames]

@@sete5721 Actually, I had done something wrong when testing it. You can do it with Sprite Renderer.

[@sete5721]

Thank you! I'll give it a try later ☺

[@Littlelavishtoo]

can you give a tutorial and full source code of space shooter game

[@RootGames]

Hi! Unfortunately, that tutorial is an old and unfinished project. I don't have it anymore.

[@Mikaela112]

how would I make it scroll down?

[@JOMHDev]

to make the texture scroll down you want the material to offset downwards (on the Y axis) so all you need to do is just flip the two values in the vector2. remember to also make it negative so it goes down instead of up!

[@SeanWonder]

@@JOMHDevI’m unsure what you mean here and I’ve been dying to get my vertical scroll working. The Vector 2 here says (speed * Time.deltaTime, 0); How are we supposed to flip those 2 values? Or do you mean the values in the transform section there in the inspector making X 18 and Y 32 instead? Sorry I’m a beginner here

[@JOMHDev]

@@SeanWonder i forgor the context, but vector2 takes two values (x,y) and if x = 2 and y =1 for example, you should make x = 1 and y = 2. Flipping the values.

[@dickvanthoff]

@@SeanWonder for me the speed float didn't do anything when I simply did (speed * 0, Time.deltaTime), it worked when I did (0, Time.deltaTime * speed).

[@helderdaniel1563]

it is not needed a 3D object, can be used A 2D object like a square.

[@RootGames]

You can do it with a sprite renderer and 2d object,BUT Unity will give you a warning that it shouldn’t be done like that because the sprite renderer is not designed for this and it can lead to unwanted behavior

[@lokepuisan2456]

It really helps me a lot, thanks!
