Parallax background artifacting

KingFriendly

My parallax background is glitching slightly. I have an infinite scrolling background of squares. My script is a simple movement script.

func _process(delta):
        motion_offset += Vector2(150,150) * delta

Is there a way I can stop this artifacting?

Could you provide a video or a screenshot or something of the issue. Or at least try and describe it in more detail. Just 'it's glitching slightly' doesn't say much, hard to provide any feedback on that.

Megalomaniak Well, I attached a video to the previous post, I guess it just didn't work. I've given up anyways, maybe I'll come back another time. Thanks.

I see. The uploader tries to wrap it in [] which breaks the formatting. I've edited the post to fix that.

Without being able to identify the issue easily from the video I'll have to take a stab in the dark and say you are experiencing something as a result of floating point precision. The pixels can be only rendered on screen in increments.

You could try and see if some form of supersampling (MSAA) might help alleviate it or you could just try updating your motion vector as a integer cast value, making sure that the effects of multiplication by delta factor in whole numbers in the vector components. That is, the motion_offset only has whole numbers added to it.
