"New X" Attribute help

cezimo

Hello, I am brand new to GameSalad.

I've been using mynameisace's template for a parallax scrolling background. However, he/she uses a necessary attribute called "New X" to make the background loop that I don't seem to have. Is this only for pro users?

Also, I realize parallax scrolling is an over-asked question here, but if any of you have links to tutorials, I would be very grateful. All the links on the forums here are old and have expired (and I assure everyone I have scoured the internet and haven't had much success, so I'm not just a lazy person). I've already downloaded Cluv's demo and that one with the cheetah, but they weren't as close to what I need as mynameisace's.

Thank you.

I don't know the exact tutorial you are talking about, but that is likely an Attribute that Ace added to the project. You can do that in either the pro or free version by clicking the plus + button in the Attributes window. Then you choose your Attribute type (integer, real, etc) and name it as needed. Then you have access to it in the game.

Thank you! It works perfectly now. For anyone interested, I had to create the attribute from editing the actor, not the scene (sorry I still don't really know what I'm talking about).
