Looping frame/virtual frame -1 question

[Livingstone]

Hey Guys,

I'm trying to make a game with a vertical looping frame. I have this example by Jeff (link below) which shows horizontal looping when scrolling right. To do that you must make the vitual width -1 (what is the difference when using a greater negative number?)


And making the 'virtual height' -1 makes the frame scroll DOWN infintely, but how can I make the frame loop infinitely UP, or even LEFT? Of course +1 does not work and I need help to work it out please.

I have the 'Wrap vertical' box ticked.

Jeff's example is here

-1 means indefinate. -2 or any other value will not work as far as I can tell. Also I think -1 means infinite in both directions not just one (ie, not just UP but also DOWN)

I'd like to know the answer to this as well. By the way, bigredron -2 doesn't work

No, as of now it only works RIGHT and LEFT, but it is limited to (0,0) at the TOP-LEFT.

I can achieve infinite scroll right and down, but not left? I'm not sure what you mean by 'limited to (0,0) at the top-left', could you please clarify?

I know. I said that it shouldnt work.

I meant exactly what you just said, you can't scroll past 0,0 up or left. Thus it's a limit.
