Creating Scrolling Terrain - Page 9

Placing the Terrain (cont.)

Here we recycled terrain names.

    
    If (Ord(item)<%lt%><%gt%>71)
        Duplicate Movie Clip ("../"&item, name, tnum)
        Set Property ("../"&name, X Position) = 50*(column-1)
        Set Property ("../"&name, Y Position) = 0
    Else
        Set Property ("../"&name, X Position) = 50*(column-1)+25
        Set Property ("../"&name, Y Position) = 25
    End If
End If

We continue doing these things until we've reached the end of the column. Then, we reset the marker (which we then wait for until it is in the correct spot to start placing terrain squares again.)

    Set Variable: "column" = column+1
End Loop
Set Property ("../marker", Y Position) = 0
Go to and Play ("wait")
