I am trying to create a background fora game and have two background images. I can use two different SKSpriteNode(), SKTexture, SKAction.sequence..etc and some math to stitch them together but it comes out kind of choppy and also I cant seem to get the math just right. They are supposed to be able to be combined to make a long changing background but it always offsets.
Can someone tell me how to combine both textures into one so I dont have to break my head with the math. Or if someone spots some errors in my math can you please point them out? both background have the same width of 1200 pixels
override func didMoveToView(view: SKView) {
/* Setup your scene here */
var bgTexture = SKTexture(imageNamed: "bg_2_midground_1.png")
var bgTexture2 = SKTexture(imageNamed: "bg_2_midground_2.png")
var totalBG = bgTexture.size().width + bgTexture2.size().width
var moveBG1 = SKAction.moveByX(-bgTexture.size().width, y: 0, duration: 12)
//shift bg back to be able to repeat itself
var replaceBG1 = SKAction.moveByX(bgTexture.size().width, y: 0, duration: 0.0) //move immediately back to replace self
var moveBG1Forever = SKAction.repeatActionForever(SKAction.sequence([moveBG1,replaceBG1]))
var moveBG2 = SKAction.moveByX(-bgTexture2.size().width, y: 0, duration: 12)
//shift bg back to be able to repeat itself
var replaceBG2 = SKAction.moveByX(bgTexture2.size().width, y: 0, duration: 0.0) //move immediately back to replace self
var moveBG2Forever = SKAction.repeatActionForever(SKAction.sequence([moveBG2,replaceBG2]))
for var i:CGFloat = 0; i<2; i++ {
var bg = SKSpriteNode(texture: bgTexture)
var bg2 = SKSpriteNode(texture: bgTexture2)
bg.position = CGPointMake(bgTexture.size().width/2.0 + bgTexture.size().width * i + bgTexture2.size().width * i, CGRectGetMidY(self.frame))
bg2.position = CGPointMake(bgTexture.size().width/2.0 + bgTexture2.size().width + bgTexture2.size().width * 2 * i, CGRectGetMidY(self.frame))
bg.runAction(moveBG1Forever)
bg2.runAction(moveBG2Forever)
self.addChild(bg)
self.addChild(bg2)
println(bg.position)
println(bgTexture.size().width)
println(bg2.position)
println(bgTexture2.size().width)
}
}
