Unity Parallax Tutorial - How to infinite scrolling background

A quick tutorial on how to achieve a cool parallax effect with infinite scrolling. This method uses a simple script, which means you don't need to mess with the z-axis. Personally, I think this is much better for a 2D game, and couldn't find any easy tutorials on it, so figured I would make my own. Go to my discord to download the tutorial resources!

Hey! If you're new here, welcome! I'm an indie game developer, currently working on a physics based game using Unity. This is my devlog / devblog where I show off the progress I make on it. I'll try uploading every week, but I'm pretty busy with university and part time job, so I won't have time every week. But I'll do my best!

**CORRECTION*** I have no idea why I put the code in FIxedUpdate. I'm a dummy. USE Update() INSTEAD!!! **WHY DO I PUT THE BACKGROUND ON THE CAMERA??** To answer this commonly asked question: *Usually* your camera follows the player. So when the player moves, the camera moves. This method is perfect for that, since the background only moves when the camera moves. Meaning the background moved when the plsyer moves. You don't have to put the background on the camera, but you would have to reverse my script to get it working outside of the camera. BUT if you want a moving background where the camera stands still, this implementation is not going to work. Luckily for you, that's way easier, and you just need to repeat the backgrounds at different speeds, using something like Mathf.repeat If you have any questions regarding this, the easiest way to ask me is in my discord. You can ask me here on KZbin too, just don't expect an instant reply. Thanks for watching!

[@aaronswords404]

About your correction. I was having stuttering in my game (only after building) by using Update(). Using FixedUpdate() actually eliminated the stuttering so I would recommend it.

[@andrewpulle315]

@@aaronswords404 Fixed update is usually used for physics based needs since it updates either never, once, or multiples times a frame depending on the amount of physics changes and frame rate at that specific time

@@ethicalrevolution3294 well, here are some points I might guess: - 5 textures (sprites) duplicated 3 times, 15 entities in total for background - all this textures are being transformed on CPU (via C# script) - if the game lags, the difference between temp and |startpos +- length| might be too big, causing a weird visual effect Much more efficient solution would be just by changing offset of the sprite-texture in shader code per frame, executed on GPU

To people viewing in the future, if the ends of your background asset don't match up (as described in the start of this video), a possible solution could be to import the same background twice, where the second background is flipped horizontally. This will ensure that either end of the background meets another at the exact same height.

[@semirukiya5308]

I know this is not the most recent video, still I would like to point out one thing You've missed: What if camera is following player when he jumps? With the current script, the whole BG would jump with the player which wouldn't look too nice. Everyone who use their brain or know some basics would find the solution in an instant, but here's some tip for complete beginners: You need to add another float for Y axis and define its parameter, then put it in line: transform.position = new Vector3(startpos + dist, transform.position.y, transform.position.z); replacing ,,transform.position.y". That way Your BG will stay in place at Y axis. The video is great anyway, cheers to that!

[@christopherthomas7460]

Could you give an example of this

[@semirukiya5308]

@@christopherthomas7460 Of course. Well, it actually highly depends on if You want the BG's position to change from time to time or not. In my example You don't want to do that, but the difference in code wouldn't be that big anyway. You could also make it adjustable through the inspector, but I will just use the solid amount as private. In the line You define Your parameters: private float length, startpos; You want to add another one. Let's call it posY, so the line would look like this: private float length, startpos, posY = 9.32f; posY represents the Y position of Your background - take a note I'm not talking about the Backgrounds container, but about one of Backgrounds sub-containers, so taking as an example from the video it would be any of 0 - 4 containers in hierarchy. I did use 9.32f but it is just an example. Then in the Update method, in this line: transform.position = new Vector3(startpos + dist, transform.position.y, transform.position.z); You want to replace transform.position.y with Your posY, so it would look like this: transform.position = new Vector3(startpos + dist, posY, transform.position.z); And that's it. I'm pretty much sure there are other ways to achieve that, but this one is the simplest one that came to my mind. As a summary for those who would still have a problem with understanding how it works: The first version of the line (from the video) will update Y axis of the background based on the Y axis of the camera. What You've changed here is that You said to the program that You want the BG to stay at the solid position You want, so in this case at Y = 9.32f.

If you'd like part of the BG to auto-scroll use this: (NOTE: paralaxEffect should be something like 0.01 in the editor) using UnityEngine; public class Parallax : MonoBehaviour { public GameObject cam; public float parallaxEffect; public bool autoScroll = false; private float length, startpos; // Start is called before the first frame update void Start() { startpos = transform.position.x; length = GetComponent().bounds.size.x; } // Update is called once per frame void Update() { float temp = cam.transform.position.x * (1 - parallaxEffect); float distance = (cam.transform.position.x * parallaxEffect); float desiredXPos = startpos + distance; if(autoScroll) { // this will push bg to the left desiredXPos = transform.position.x - parallaxEffect; } transform.position = new Vector2(desiredXPos, transform.position.y); if (temp > startpos + length) { startpos += length; } else if(temp > startpos - length) { startpos -= length; } } }

[@rianahazra9945]

TYSMMMM

[@HypnoticMemer]

Hipoty hopity your code is now my property

[@UrFriendXD]

A few things to help anyone who has these problems: If you're seeing the edges of the backgrounds when reaching the edge (it means your backgrounds are too short) replace the respecting code with this: if (temp > startpos + (length - offset)) { startpos += length; } else if (temp < startpos - (length - offset)) { startpos -= length; } This will make it so it moves earlier than needs too. You'll also need a public float of offset and just fine-tune it to your needs. If there's small jumping or the size of the children are not all the same (or you're lazy to find the correct X positions for each), have this script attached to each parallax child image (the dupes) and have one of each set to be marked isRight. This will automatically find the size of the image and offset them in the right X pos. public class ParallaxChild : MonoBehaviour { [SerializeField] private bool isRight; // Start is called before the first frame update void OnValidate() { var length = GetComponent().bounds.size.x; if (!isRight) { length *= -1; } transform.localPosition = new Vector3( length, 0, 0); } // Update is called once per frame void Update() { } Good luck with your Game Dev endeavors!

Mainly because I've had some problems using the normal Update method when working with cameras. Sometimes the background moves in a choppy and jittery way, but using FixedUpdate() fixed it for me. But in theory normal Update should work fine.

[@edwardharks]

@@Danidev I'll keep that in mind next time i'm working with the camera!

[@PiyPowKachou]

@@Danidev It was probably because of Physics related things. Physics run in a fixed update, thus when moving stuff with Rigidbody, for example, you get choppy movements because while Update has already updated position for camera and new renders come from a different position. Other stuff is still standing still until physics update. So it's kind of 3 frames freeze usually depending on the frame-rate ofc.

As you put the BG under the cam , when you try to adjust the cam you also move the background images , it makes designing very hard.

Float is a datatype where you can insert integer variabal with decimals also . Cam is the short form of camera and cam is a function which specifies the position and direction of the camera we use x for storing position value . There are vector 3 where we can use x y and z . In vector 2 we can store value of x and y .'transform' is basically a function you need to write before storing value x or y or z . You first need to learn coding unity c# before doing this there are a lot of videos on unity c# coding watch it they will surely help you👍

I cant do art dani, so can i use this for a game?

[@monkizaki1440]

Uniqueness brings attention. Download free tree, bush, rocks, mountain brushes to make the background.

​@@dittodolphinoI was gonna say the same thing rip Dani

[@SassyCassi]

i've tried so hard x.x and it's just not repeating the layers at all

[@aryanhavrest]

Yupp, same for me. You gotta use this length = GetComponent().size.x; so dont write bounds

[@TheOneDemigod]

Works awesome, thank you!
