Scrolling Battleback?

[Kes]

The title says it all.  I am wondering if it is possible to set a battleback to scrolling, rather than static.

If it is not, and I suspect that it won't be, my alternative would be to transfer the party to a map with a scrolling parallax.  However, how would I stop the Battle Processing command (it's an evented battle) from automatically taking me to the normal battle scene?

Thank you.

You could do them both, but I do think the first one would be tons easier as on the second one, you will need to recreate the battle system since you'd make it happen on a map scene rather than the battle scene.

Thank you for the information, but I regret that just saying "you could do them both" doesn't help me as I don't know how to do either.

Any details of the first, as that is easier?

 

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

Since the battleback is just an image created at the back of the scene, you could for example make the update call for the battle backs on Spriteset_Battle change the bitmap used by the battleback sprite or just move it to a different part of the same image.

No I couldn't because I don't even understand your answer, let alone know how to do it.  I am not a scripter.  

Although I think it's obvious from the OP, I should perhaps also mention that this is just for one battle, so any change would have to be done by e.g. a script call, or a switch.  It will, therefore (I assume, but again I stress, I am not a scripter) need some snippet or other.

Hmm, give the following snippet a try :

Well on first inspection, and following a little playing around on scrolling speed, I have to say - sheer genius.  This does precisely and exactly what I had hoped for.

I am enormously appreciative of this.  Thank you very much indeed.

EDIT

Unfortunately it seems I spoke too soon.  Although everything works fine with the battle that involves the scrolling battleback, an earlier encounter (with, therefore, the switch still OFF) gives this error message:

Unfortunately, you copied the script right as I was updating my post because I forgot to change a line of code. Use the updated code in my previous post and it should work fine.

 

[Kes]

I am delighted to be able to report that all is fine at my end.  It seems my eagerness was my undoing.

Once more, many, many thanks for this.
