Solved I have a question about the movement of the vehicle.

[DD Tokki]

I would like to know how to make the cars that pass by in the game background reappear after a certain amount of time, rather than just appearing once and then disappearing.

 

[O Ilusionista]

if they doesn't have animations, you can just use a fglayer and give it a velocity.

You need to, first, set a bg velocity

bgspeed -10

Then you set put the velocity on the "move" value of the fglayer

On my example, I have cars moving left to right and right to left, in different velocities

If they need animation, its better to use entities in this case.

The background is fixed, but I want to create a car, make it move, and repeat the movement. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to implement this repetitive movement.

yeah, but will the car have moving parts, like the tires? if the tires are static (or you can't view them) you can use the fglayer trick and it will do the job.

The car tires will be hidden as they will appear at the very front (bottom) of the game screen.

ah, so use the method I told you above
here is the code in action

Success! I now know that the "-1" in the layer settings is an infinite loop. thank you

yep
Btw, try to use a higher value in xspace (5th value after the image path), as they cars are repeating too frequently.
other than that, nice work

ah, a tip: when you use this method, if you have an image used as background, it will move too.
If you don't want to make it to move, you have to replace it with a fglayer and turn off the "move".
This is the magic of fglayer - you can control each one
