Title: Allow us to disable auto-scrolling of certain background layers
Post by: Antikore on April 13, 2021, 03:06:26 PM
Useful to create, for example, sewer-like backgrounds, where the water waves scroll automatically but the rest of the bg doesn't

You might have some success with an animated "background layer" rather than a scrolling one. You can't animate individual layers, but you could set down a background sprite and cause it to follow the x position of your view. sprite 1x = [view x]

Of course, you might run into problems if you're using background sprites for other purposes.
