Background

背景的命令允许你通过特效(effects)，为你的场景带来生命。

改变背景

为你的场景设置背景。

File - 将要运行的图片文件。
Layer - Sets the order of priority that your backgrounds will be. The higher the number the more they will appear above.
Duration - Sets how long the change-animation should take. Setting it at zero (0) ms will make it appear instantly.
Wait/Continue - Setting the command to wait means that the scene will wait for the background to appear before it executes the next command.
Effects - These options affect how the background will appear.
Easing sets the tween movement of the background. More information can be seen in Easing Effects page.
Animation 设置背景动画。
- Movement is the origin point of the background where it will appear from Left/Top/Right/Bottom.

Anchor sets the anchor point of your background between top-left and center. Setting the anchor to center is only important when the zoom and rotation commands will used and will not affect positioning.
Z-order sets the display order of the background.
Viewport - The viewport the background will be assigned to. The viewport determines if the background gets affected by camera-movements or screen effects or not.
- Scene - The background is assigned to the scene-viewport and behaves like an object which belongs to the scene so it gets affected by camera-movements and screen effects.
- User Interface - The background is assigned to the ui-viewport and behaves like an object which belongs to the user interface so it doesn't get affected by camera-movements and screen effects.

Layer - Set which background image will be affected. For example, if you have more than one, you can shake layer two (2) without affecting the background displayed at layer one.
Range X - Set the horizontal movement of the background image. It randomizes between the negative and positive of the value you set.
For example, if you put 5, it will shake the background from -5 to 5.
Range Y - Set the vertical movement of the background image. It randomizes between the negative and positive of the value you set.
For example, if you put 5, it will shake the background from -5 to 5.
Speed - Will determine the power or intensity of the shaking by setting a pixel offset.
Duration - Determines how long the background will shake.
Wait/Continue - Setting the command to wait means that the scene will wait for the background to stop shaking before it loads the next command.

Background Effect

Applies an effect to a character.

Type - The effect that will be applied to the background.
Wobble makes the background move in irregular and staggering motion. That only works if looping is disabled.
- Power sets the intensity of the wobble. It makes the wobble effect more visible the higher it is.
- Speed sets the speed of the wobble. The higher it is, the faster it is.
- Orientation - Sets the wobble direction.
- - Vertical sets the wobble direction to the vertical direction.
  - Horizontal sets the wobble direction to the horizontal direction
  - Both sets the wobble direction to both directions.
- Duration sets how long, in milliseconds, the effect will take place.
Blur has no effect on backgrounds..
Pixelate makes the background appear pixelated/blocky.
- Width sets the width of a single block/pixel.
- Height sets the height of a single block/pixel.
- Duration sets how much time, in milliseconds, it takes until the pixelation reaches the specified block/pixel-size. Use this to smoothly pixelate the background..
Easing applies tweening to the effect animation. More information can be seen in Easing Effects page.

Mask Background

Applies a static mask or executes a dynamic mask animation on your background.

Layer - Set which background image will be affected.

File - You can choose what sort of mask to apply here.
Picture allows you to use a Mask image file in Graphics/Masks.
Movie allows you to use a movie file ask a mask. Your movie file will need to be imported to the Movies folder in .webm format.
Even if your movie file contains color information, only the red color-channel is used.
Type- Select what kind of masking you would like to do.
Static allows you to overlay a mask image which is applied with alpha.
- Offset X moves the mask image left or right depending on the values set.
- Offset Y moves the mask image top or bottom depending on the values set.
Dynamic masking allows you to use mask to display specific parts of the image.
- Value can be any amount from 0 to 255. It controls which pixels from the masked image will be visible.
  If it's 0, then it will display none of the image mask. The more values you add, the more of the image mask is visible.
- Vague allows you to apply smoothing on the mask edges. Here is a comparison with Vague values 0 (minimum) and 255 (maximum).

Duration - Determines how fast the mask effect will take place.
Continue will make the scene immediately continue.
Wait will make the scene wait until the masking effect is done.

Background Motion Blur

Applies motion blur to your background. This must be set above the background’s movement commands such as [Scroll along path] or [Scroll Background to].

Layer - Set which layer is affected by motion blur.

Motion Blur - Set Yes to apply motion blur, No to turn it off.
- Spawn Time - The amount of frames after a new copy is created. By default, the amount is 2.
- Dissolve Speed - The rate at which the spawned copies dissipate. Specifically, the opacity of the copies are dropped every frame.
- Opacity - The opacity a copy starts at the time it is spawned. By default, it is at 100.
  For example, if the dissolve speed is 2, the shadow/ghost/particle is completely invisible/dead after 50 milliseconds.

Scroll Along Path

Allows you to create custom path of movement through the use of points and curves to move the background.

Layer - Sets which background layer will scroll on custom path.

Path - Opens up a path editor that allows you to define the path via curves. You can press right click to delete a motion point or click at a free area to add a new motion point.
The S circle () is the start point of the motion.
The green circle () is a point in the motion that allows you to have a more dynamic motion.
The yellow circle () adjusts the motion curve. If you press a green circle (), you can adjust the motion for that path as well.
The E circle () is the end point of the motion.

Mirror Vertical - Flips the curve vertically.
Mirror Horizontal - Flips the curve horizontally.
Rotate 90* - Rotates the curve at 90 degrees.
Effects - Allows you to set sound effects at timed intervals while the background moves along the path.

Loop - Allows you to repeat the path for the extent of its duration.
None - Turns the loop off.
Normal - Loops the path from the end point.
Reversed - Loops the path in the opposite direction from the end point.
Duration - The time the motion has to finish in milliseconds.
Wait/Continue - Setting the command to wait means that the scene will wait for the motion to end before it loads the next command.

Background Defaults

Allows to override default values for Background specific commands.

Duration - The default time for background appear/disappear effects to take effect.
Effects - These options affect how the background will appear.
