The Parallax Camera Blueprint System provides a quick and easy means by which to add parallaxing background elements to an orthographic camera for use in a 2D game. This is a standalone system, consisting of one ParallaxCamera Blueprint and one BackgroundLayer enum class, as well as a demo level and an in-depth Tutorial Blueprint. The ParallaxCamera actor Blueprint comes pre-loaded with four (4) parallax layer presets, though adding additional layer presets is an incredibly easy task. Adding background objects to the ParallaxCamera actor and assigning a background layer to those objects is also simple: grab your background object, load it into the BackgroundObject array, and assign whichever Background preset you wish to the respective BackgroundLayer array index.
