Forums » Help » Can't animate background tiles

Hello! I'm trying to animate tiles with a following code:

var starsAnim = new ig.AnimationSheet('media/stars_far.png', 16, 16);
this.backgroundAnims['media/stars_far.png'] = {
    2: new ig.Animation(starsAnim, 0.3, [6, 7, 8, 7])
};

this.loadLevel(LevelLevel1);

Tile 2 simply does not animate. Please help :)

The tile count starts at 1, not 0, because 0 means no tile.

So if you weren't aware of that, then perhaps tile "2", should really be tile "3"?

Thank you for your response. I've tried it and it does not work.

Btw, docs apparently state that you can animate even an empty map tile...

Your code looks correct to me.

Just for kicks, here's a working example:

Is your map layer "pre-rendered"? Because that would break the animation...

Yeah, pre-rendering was the culprit :) Thanks!
