I'm working on a game where the player flies inside a tower while a smaller tower looms in the background.
So far I got this.
green background parallaxes a bit, while a tower made with a sequence rotates.
I've had this problem since moving to gms2. I need a background assets to remain static in the view. But I can't figure out how to use the camera variables to do this.
The tower needs to stay in the center no matter where the player moves, but not follow this closely.. I also need to have tile it vertically when the player moves up and down. I'm looking in the manual, but I don't see any way to tile a sequence as well.
right now I'm just making the tower follow the player for example purposes.
I'm also guessing the camera object I'm using is also messing with how the code works. I can't tell if if my camera creates view_camera[0] or not. as using
just results in objects and such being stuck in the top left corner.
