Instructions:
1. Download the parallax system scripts and import them into your project
2. Create a new game object and name it "Level"
3. Add all of your layers as children
4. Attach the ParallaxLayer script to all of your layers
5. Set the values so that the mountains in the back are positive values, increasing the farther they are from the camera... and the foreground elements and increasing negative values the closer they are to the camera
6. Attach the ParallaxCamera component to your camera
7. Attach the ParallaxBackground component to your Level game object that we created earlier.
8. Enjoy your new parallax scrolling background effect in your game!

bro didn't even bother to explain what the code does, he just joinked the .cs into his project...

That.... was indeed straight to the point. I have to adapt it a little cause my game is weird, but the script is clear enough that it was easy to make that shift. Thank you!

This video is gonna be useful, although I find it funny you say you explain it in 100 seconds even though the video has 1 minute 😅

[RafaelAzriaiev-kvqm]

great vid.
Small question say you have 1 layer that needs to move constantly in on direction how would you add that to the current scripts?

[OmParkash-gyug]

Bro u solved the big prob of mine directly to point u gained my sub ✌🏻 keep up the good work man

[mmm_mmm]

Haven't tried it yet but I subbed immediately...

[eladperi]

[MilchoMalefic]

[GabCom]

You helped me use my time with efficency, of course i'm subscribing! ;)

[smokeback]

awesome even if am not using unity this is a good logic tutorial

[RogueSnake]

Thanks for showing this, I tried your scripts and they work great so far. Any reason why they only move in x though? I just altered your script a little to move things in x and y

Question: when designing custom art for such backgrounds/platforms - How do you size it correctly? … Would you create the blank map & then draw/paint over a screenshot in Photoshop?

[LionelArt]

Thank you very much :) but how can i do to do a parallax (axe Y) ?

[karamel]

does this still work?, didnt work for me, all the images are in front of the level

[yasinalbayrak]

how can i loop this background objects?

[turtlecrane]

Thank you so much. Can I apply your code to my game and use it commercially? I'm curious about the copyright instructions!

[VintagesoUltree]

does it still work if there's another script component in main camera?
I have a camera shaking script attached to my main camera

[wahidulsagor]

Brother, what is the name of your software? And is it support corei3 or better regulation will take pc?

[Visionary-qsuu]

Thank you! and could you tell me how do you draw long smooth collider edge for the ground?and how to avoid the height difference of sprite because my character often gets stuck😥
