Parallax pause problem

GhostLeader

Hi im new to gideros i buy the book Gideros Mobile Game Development from iBook and i read too much and im in chapter 3 learning about physics in gideros, it was really great and easy to understand but i was planing on doing a parallax scrolling game so when i searched for a parallax tutorial
i used this one http://giderosmobile.com/forum/discussion/1158/class-and-example-for-parallax-background/p1
and i add this parallax ground to self but when i use the pause button the ground is always moving

Well, this is something you will need to implement into ParaBG class
you could for example add setPause method and on moving bg check if it is paused or not, something like this:

--define pause variable in constructor function ParaBG:init(bgs, bgspeed)   --by default is not paused self.paused = false   -- Far Background Images--repeat self.bg1 = Bitmap.new(Texture.new(bgs.bg1),true) self.bg2 = Bitmap.new(Texture.new(bgs.bg1),true)   -- Closer Background Images--repeat self.bg3 = Bitmap.new(Texture.new(bgs.bg2),true) self.bg4 = Bitmap.new(Texture.new(bgs.bg2),true)   -- Set the starting points. self.bgFarY=0 self.bgNearY=0 self.bgspeed = bgspeed   -- Add sprites. self:addChild(self.bg1) self:addChild(self.bg2) self:addChild(self.bg3) self:addChild(self.bg4)   --Event-- self:addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, self.DrawParaBG, self) end

Then add pause check in enter frame event:

function ParaBG:DrawParaBG(event, container)   if not self.paused then self.bgFarY = (self.bgFarY or 0) - ((self.bgspeed or 4.0) / 4) self.bgNearY = (self.bgNearY or 0) - ((self.bgspeed or 4.0))   self.newFarY = self.bg1:getWidth() -(-self.bgFarY) if self.newFarY <=0 then self.bgFarY = 0 self.bg1:setX(self.bgFarY) else self.bg1:setX(self.bgFarY) self.bg2:setX(self.newFarY) end   self.newNearY = self.bg3:getWidth() -(-self.bgNearY) if self.newNearY <=0 then self.bgNearY = 0 self.bg3:setX(self.bgNearY) else self.bg3:setX(self.bgNearY) self.bg4:setX(self.newNearY) end end end

Add additional method to control pause state

function ParaBG:setPause(pause) self.paused = pause end

Then in your own scene, when you pause your game, also set pause to paralax class:

self.paralax:setPause(true) --then when needed unpause it --self.paralax:setPause(false)

Hope that helps
