I am working on CoCos2d with android.I want to add an endless scrolling background to my Screen by using CCParallaxNode. I am able to add background and move it but after the completion of that move action the screen goes black. Can someone help me out?
My code is
CCParallaxNode parallaxNode;
CCSprite spacedust1;
CCSprite spacedust2;
CCSprite planetsunrise;
CCSprite galaxy;
CCSprite spacialanomaly;
CCSprite spacialanomaly2;
parallaxNode = CCParallaxNode.node();
spacedust1 = CCSprite.sprite("bg_front_spacedust.png");
spacedust2 = CCSprite.sprite("bg_front_spacedust.png");
planetsunrise = CCSprite.sprite("bg_planetsunrise.png");
galaxy = CCSprite.sprite("bg_galaxy.png");
spacialanomaly = CCSprite.sprite("bg_spacialanomaly.png");
spacialanomaly2 = CCSprite.sprite("bg_spacialanomaly2.png");
// 3) Determine relative movement speeds for space dust and background
// CGPoint cgPoint = CGPoint.ccp(0.1, 0.1);
CGPoint dustSpeed = CGPoint.ccp(10, 10);
CGPoint bgSpeed = CGPoint.ccp(5, 5);
// CGPoint bgSpeed = ccp(0.05, 0.05);
parallaxNode.addChild(spacedust1, 0, dustSpeed.x, dustSpeed.y, 0,
winSize.height / 2);
parallaxNode.addChild(spacedust2, 0, dustSpeed.x, dustSpeed.y,
spacedust1.getContentSize().width, winSize.height / 2);
parallaxNode.addChild(galaxy, -1, bgSpeed.x, bgSpeed.y, 0, 10);
parallaxNode.addChild(planetsunrise, -1, bgSpeed.x, bgSpeed.y, 600, 5);
parallaxNode
.addChild(spacialanomaly, -1, bgSpeed.x, bgSpeed.y, 900, 20);
parallaxNode.addChild(spacialanomaly2, -1, bgSpeed.x, bgSpeed.y, 1500,
30);
CCIntervalAction go = CCMoveBy.action(4, CGPoint.ccp(winSize.width, 0));
CCIntervalAction goBack = go.reverse();
CCIntervalAction seq = CCSequence.actions(go, goBack);
CCRepeatForever action = CCRepeatForever.action(goBack);
parallaxNode.runAction(action);
I see that since not a single answer worked for you. I will provide a simple code which will help you for your parralax scrolling background.
Add this code in your game layers constructor
background1 = CCSprite.sprite("bg2.png");
background2 = CCSprite.sprite("bg2.png");
background1.setPosition(CGPoint.ccp(winSize.width*0.5f,winSize.height*0.5f));
addChild(background1);
background2.setPosition(CGPoint.ccp(winSize.width+winSize.width*0.5f,winSize.height*0.5f));
addChild(background2);
and a scroll method which is scheduled every millisecond. add this in constructor
this.schedule("scroll");
and now the scroll method.
public void scroll(float dt) {
CGPoint pos1 = background1.getPosition();
CGPoint pos2 = background2.getPosition();
pos1.x -= 5.0f;
pos2.x -= 5.0f;
if(pos1.x <=-(winSize.width*0.5f) )
{
pos1.x = pos2.x + winSize.width;
}
if(pos2.x <=-(winSize.width*0.5f) )
{
pos2.x = pos1.x + winSize.width;
}
background1.setPosition(pos1);
background2.setPosition(pos2);
}
mark my answer if it worked.
