Luckily for us, Construct Classic makes parallax very easy with the scrolling rate values of each layer. Previously, we set these to 0% to stop scrolling completely for HUD layers, but now we can use it to add depth to our levels.
1. Change the
Scroll X RateandScroll Y Ratevalues of theForegroundandBackScenerylayers to120%, 120%and80%, 80%respectively.2. On the
Foregroundlayer, create aSpritecalledStraightChainand paste in our vertical chain sprite. Size this up large and set itsCollisionsmode toNonebefore placing a few copies of it along the map.3. Create a similar
SpritenamedHookwith our hook sprite pasted into it at the ends of some of the chains.4. Add a few more of these chain objects to the layers
FrontSceneryandBackSceneryalong the level. Remember that when the player sees them, they will be slightly offset to how they look in theLayout Editor.5. Next, use the horizontal chain image to create the sprite
