Smart Parallax

the parallax effect is a great effect to give depth and visual interest to your 2d games. if you set a simple parallax into your level however, you will face critical issues:

• things start to move to places they should not be, messing up your long hours of level design
• performance drops down as levels grow up
• and little or no control per actor

so we created this complex yet simple to use blueprint that addresses these issues.

smart parallax uses user defined actor layers and manages these actors smartly. utilizing things like:

• update only when player moves
• having a movement step and tick limit.
• update actors that are within the parallax bounds 🚀
• auto detect what should be in the foreground and what should be in the background
• adjust the movement amount for each actor based on custom distance checks
• support for Z and X axis parallax
• support for unlimited amount of layers
• easily adjustable parallax values globally or per layer
