Introduction
Backgrounds are the method of displaying a battle. Depending on the configuration of the Battle, backgrounds will render differently.
Occurs on Current Map
Background Layers and Foreground Layers are ignored. Hero Positions and Enemy Positions are measured in tile coordinates. Map is used only for sampling the background. The battle will take place around a Battle Focal Point on a Map?.
Camera is ignored if the map is rendering in 2D.
Occurs on External Map
Background Layers and Foreground Layers are ignored. Hero Positions and Enemy Positions are measured in tile coordinates. Map will be used as the background in game. The battle will take place around the first Battle Focal Point on the Map?.
Camera is ignored if the map is rendering in 2D.
Occurs on User Interface
Background Layers and Foreground Layers are used in either pixel or relative screen coordinates. Hero Positions and Enemy Positions are measured in pixel offsets from the center of the screen. Map is ignored. Camera is ignored.
