Vector2.SmoothDamp

I want to smooth out the backgrounds movement as currently when I tap 'D' in quick succession the background almost lerps fowards which doesn't look very good. It is only when you hold the key down that the movement is smooth. I tried changing line 17 to 'Vector2 offset = new Vector2.SmoothDamp( Time.time * speed, 0);' but got the error 'The type name 'SmoothDamp' does not exist in the type 'Vector2' . Any help is appreciated

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class BackGround_scroll : MonoBehaviour {
5.  
6.     public float speed = 0.5f;
7.  
8.     void Start ()
9.     {
10.    
11.     }
12.    
13.     void Update ()
14.     {
15.         if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D))
16.         {
17.             Vector2 offset = new Vector2.SmoothDamp( Time.time * speed, 0);
18.  
19.             GetComponent<Renderer>().material.mainTextureOffset = offset;
20.         }
21.  
22.     }
23. }
24.  

 

Did you have a look at the documentation?

http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Vector2.SmoothDamp.html

 

yes, that's how I discovered the SmoothDamp but couldn't work out how to make it work

 

What you want to do actually?

So you want to animate the texture offset, what kind of effect are you expecting?

 

To create a parallax scroll effect. So as the player runs. the background moves with him. I have this working its just when the user only taps the 'a' or 'd' keys the background lerps fowards, rather than a smooth motion

 

Like in a 2D scroller. Then the scrolling should be the negative of the camera position but slower;

Code (CSharp):

1. var pos = Camera.main.transform.position;
2. Vector2 pos2d = new Vector(pos.x, pos.y);
3. float scrollSpeed = 0.1f;
4.  
5. GetComponent<Renderer>().material.mainTextureOffset = -pos2d*scrollSpeed;
