Fluid Physics

Hello, can I just ask, are true fluid physics planned in a future update of Construct 2? I see that GameMaker Studio has them, see here.

It would be cool to see our favourite program support this feature too.

Also, is it possible to simulate reverse gravity for things like balloons already in C2 whilst still maintaining normal gravity for other objects.

Thanks for reading.

I don't think it's real liquid physics, because it never settles flat. It's most likely lots of small round physics objects with an effect applied to make it visually look liquid-like. You can probably do the same in C2.

I noticed that too.

Real water physics would be nice though.

I had to trick a bit but once we get shaders this will look even better and will probably run smoother :D

Hold down the left mousebutton for a few seconds.

Kinda hard on the performance but i like the result...heh <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle">

Yeah, it figures game maker would cheat like that ;)

Wouldn't it be better if you made the dots smaller? I think it would look more liquid.

Also, those are definitely not real liquid physics. Though it would be nice to have them.

I created something similar to this as well! Mine was inspired by a level from Gradius V for the PS2. I'm pretty sure they did it the same way.

Hold Space for Goo.

Hold Right-Click for Lasers.

The performance is already a problem with large dots, small dots would look more like water but you'd barely be able to see it and the frames would start dropping.

This is cool -- pretty similar to the effect in Gradius. Wasn't able to get it to drop frames before filling the container area, I'm guessing because the physics calculation is less complex than in Ize's example. It gives me an idea for simulating a stream of water without revealing the individual droplets.

Something to experiment with when it's not past 4 in the morning, I guess. <img src="smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Good job to both Ize and Zero6.

Zero, the goo doesn't settle though, it would be nice if it settled like liquid!

True, performance is still an issue with html5 with less powerful/older machines.

Wow! effects are very good! :D

Ize of the link. Capx is broken :(

Wenaptic, if you are interested in liquid physics now, you should have a look at the awesome Alpha Threshold effect!

sqiddster thx!!! is amazing! :-)

I made one, see
