Moving items between parallax layers....

[aholla]

HI I would like to move items between layers.

When I do this, the objects positions jump as they are now being rendered by a different camera.

Does anyone know how i can move the item to a new layer but position it so that it looks like nothing has changed.


As I write this, im guessing something like gettings the screen position based on the current camera and then applying that to the new camera...

aholla That's a good question, but I don't think there's a built-in way to do that currently. I can look into adding that helper method but I can't give you an estimate of when I could do it.

I ended up using the method below and providing the two cameras that needed swapping.

private void ConvertBlobCameraPosition(GameObject blobGO)
{
var fgPos = _camForeground.WorldToViewportPoint(blobGO.transform.position);
fgPos.z = -_camForeground.transform.position.z;

var mdPos = _camMid.ViewportToWorldPoint(fgPos);
blobGO.transform.position = mdPos;
}
