I’m trying to make an infinite background and ground but I ran into the problem that because the camera moves I don’t know the position of the background relative to the top left corner of the camera. And I don’t know how to get that position

you can get the top left corner of the camera like this:

var c= #get the camera node
var top_left=c.get_camera_screen_center()
top_left[0]-=get_viewport().size[0]*c.zoom[0]/2
top_left[1]-=get_viewport().size[1]*c.zoom[1]/2
