I actually don't want to open up a whole new topic just for a little question I want to ask, but I need to learn that as I plan to use moving layers in my future levels and I guess lots of people would also want to do that, so it'd be useful for a lot of people I guess. My question is, I am sure that there was a formula by which you could adjust your moving layer to move exactly how many pixels you want it to move, and even though I did lots of research (like two minutes maybe) I couldn't find it. So does anyone have it, or do any of you guys know any other way that I could precisely adjust the speed of a layer to make it move exactly as I wish? I don't want to test a level over and over again until I find a good speed for a layer, and I bet no one does. Thanks in advance.

The best way to do this is through LunaLua. You can set layer speeds (in pixels per frame) there, and if you set it to number of pixels/lunatime.toTicks (number of seconds) you can use either eventu or a manual timer to stop the layer at a very specific time.

If you don't want to use LunaLua you can calculate how far to move your layers with this: viewtopic.php?f=35&t=4928. Just make sure you use 2500/39 instead of 65
