Scrolling Backgrounds

Introduction

A simple script to make tiling textures scroll endlessly.

Usage

You can use the Scrolling Background as a simple UI Background or add a border to it and make it a Window Background.

The tool includes two scenes with their respective code: ScrollingTextureRect and Window.

ScrollingTextureRect

The scrolling texture itself.

Parameters:

• Scrolling velocity: The speed and direction of the scrolling movement.
• Scrolling: Weather the texture scrolls or it stays in place.

Make sure to fill other parameters such as Texture and that Stretch Mode is on Tile.

Window

The scrolling texture used as a background, a border to hide the motion and a container for contents. It also contains a standard animation for opening and closing.

Parameters:

• Margin scale: How far from the border the contents draw. 0 means no margin, the contents draw right next to the border. 2 means the margin is twice the border size.
• Opening time: The time it takes for the opening animation of this window to end.
• Closing time: The time it takes for the closing animation of this window to end.

Make sure to mark the child nodes as editable and fill the border, background and contents parameters.
