raymi100 291 Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) Hello~ I was wondering, is there a way to parallax map without using plugins? I know how to create the images, I'm just not sure how to get them in my game If someone could help me out with this, that would be great~ (There's probably a really simple solution to this, I'm just not thinking of it...) Since it's obvious I can't do this without plugins, could someone suggest some plugins I could use? Edited January 9, 2016 by raymi100 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amerk 1,122 Posted January 4, 2016 I don't know enough about MV to give a complete answer, but with other makers (at least with VX and Ace) it depends on what type of parallax maps you are making. If the parallax map is part of a tile-based map add on (like fog or smoke) I don't believe so. But if you're making a full map as a parallax, then scripts (called plug-ins in MV) were needed because: 1. You had to lock the parallax to keep it from moving incorrectly as your player moves around. And... 2. You needed an overlay so you can have things the player can move under or behind, such as tall trees. If MV offers these things by default, then you shouldn't need the plug-ins. But if not, then you will most likely need them for proper parallax mapping. Considering the comments that MV should have offered parallax mapping options by default, my guess is it's not supported by default, and third party plug-ins will be required. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriel 830 Posted January 4, 2016 I heard if you start a parralax name with ! it locks it to tiles automatically. Never tried it though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raymi100 291 Posted January 4, 2016 Thanks for the responses, guys. It's not a huge deal if it requires a plugin - I was just trying to see if I could do it without plugins. If someone could suggest plugins that would be needed, though, that would be great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
