Konichi wa, Fellow Kirupans!

I need help developing a scrolling terrain and backround for my game. In my other games, I have always used this wimpy coding for scrolling:

```php
 
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (_root.hero._x>268.4) {
		_root.backround._x -= 2;
		_root.terrain._x -= 2;
		_root.hero._x -= 2;
	   }
	if (_root.hero._x<44.5) {
		_root.backround._x += 2;
		_root.terrain._x += 2;
		_root.hero._x += 2;
	  }
	if (_root.hero._y>189.4) {
		_root.backround._y -= 3;
		_root.terrain._y -= 3;
		_root.hero._y -= 3;
	  }
	if (_root.hero._y<-2.6) {
		_root.backround._y += 3;
		_root.terrain._y += 3;
		_root.hero._y += 3;
	  }
}

 

```

…And I HATE that coding :ogre:. If anyone can help, that would be great. Thanks in advance!

```php

onClipEvent(EnterFrame) {
this.gamebottom = -300;
this.gametop = 600;
this.gameleft = -750;
this.gameright = 0; 
this.vx = 0;
this.ax = -250;
this.vy = 300;
this.ay = 0;
this.force = 0.07;
this.damping = 0.70;
}

```

```php

onClipEvent(EnterFrame) {
this.ax = (_root.gamebase.char._x+_root.gamebase._x-375)*this.force;
this.vx += this.ax;
this.vx *= this.damping;
this.ay = (_root.gamebase.char._y+_root.gamebase._y-190)*this.force;
this.vy += this.ay;
this.vy *= this.damping;
this._x -= this.vx;
this._y -= this.vy;
 if (this._x>this.gameright) {
  this._x = this.gameright 
 }
 if (this._x<this.gameleft) {
  this._x = this.gameleft 
 }
  if (this._y>this.gametop) {
  this._y = this.gametop 
 }
 if (this._y<this.gamebottom) {
  this._y = this.gamebottom 
 }
}

```

This is the code on my last game (before I switched to one-framing it). It’ll require some modification.

Unless I’m mistaken, you will need this on the background clip, and just have some code on the terrain clip taht duplicates the \_x and \_y of the background clip.

In my game, the player character was created in the gamebase mc, and the gamebase mc is the background and levelly stuff, so the real \_x coordinates are relative to the gamebase mc. I’m not sure how yours is rigged, so I can’t offer any more help.

the 375 is the x centre of my movie, and 190 is below the y centre of the movie, you’ll have to alter these to match your movie.

mess around with force and damping until you get the speed you want.

Hope this is of some use.

Hey _saru_, what did you say when you said:

Nan to osshaima\*\*\*\*a ka? (sogon, suru, doi) Sono kotoba wa shirimasen!? o\_O?

and

Nihongo ga dekimasu ka!?

I thought you asked me if I understood japenese.
