How to create a scroller

by Dennis De Marco · in Torque Game Builder · 06/24/2006 (6:37 am) · 5 replies

Alright. I read the tutorial on making scrollers. I just can't find the menu! It says it's in the rollout above the Screen Object in the edit tab. But all I see is Static Sprite, Scene Object, Scripting, Collision, Physics, Mounting, World Limits, Blending and Dynamic fields.

Where did this menu choice go? lol

If you want to create a scroller then go to the create tab and go down to where it says scrollers. Just drag and drop it like any other sprite. Then you can modify the scroller's properties in the edit tab.

Not sure what you mean. I can not drag a static sprite into the scroller area. I can drag a static sprite to the scene view, but not over into scrollers.

Click on the Create tab at the top of the window next to Edit and Project. You'll see a list of different objects under different catagories. Scroll down until you see the Scrollers section, and then drag one into the level. Once you've placed it down, you can then go into the Edit tab and change the settings for the scroller. You will now see the Scroller menu choice you were looking for. Hope this helps!

The trick is to use a full image not a cell or key image to make a scroller. Thank you all for the tips. Setting my image to 'full' made the scroller.
