[BEHAVIOR] Isometric

Thx for explanations R0J0hound !

Now i explore others options of your cool behavior and i have a little problem with the function "position shadow object".

My idea is to position a shadow below all my blocks of sprite to simulate shadow caster so i try to do :

system - for each Blocksprite system - create object Shadow

Blocksprite - position object Shadow as shadow

But the system create infinite Shadow ^^

Ty for help me

Either destroy them all every tick before creating them or just creating the shadows once.

Hi

I'm coming back after having made good progress on my isometric game thanks to you R0J0hound <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" />

I'm now stuck on something and I need your wise advice to handle this :

As you can see I created a snake as in this game :

The snake's head has the iso behavior and is work very fine in the isometric world. For the tail of the snake I tied sprites with the pin behavior (rope style) . The movement of snake is as I wish but now the big challenge it's about managing the rest of the body in the isometric world ^^

So my question is must I add to the sprites of the tail the isometric behavior too ? Or must I handle z ordering z ordering with the informations of the head ?

Thanks a lot for your help

To be sorted the tail has to have the isometric behavior too. When you move an object with another behavior you need to update the isometric position as well. I believe there is an included action to do that.

Hi , thx for reply R0J0hound

I have a new problem with our behavior and custom bullet movement with angle of motion collision in isometric world.

Exactly the same problem that this post :

I make custom movement of bullet with :

Iso move by offset(
Self.random_speed*cos(angle(0,0,Self.random_vx,Self.random_vy))/distance(0,0,Self.random_vx,Self.random_vy)*dt,
Self.random_speed*sin(angle(0,0,Self.random_vx,Self.random_vy))/distance(0,0,Self.random_vx,Self.random_vy)*dt,
0
)
[/code:11hm8cps]

And when i hit something 

[code:11hm8cps]
Iso overlap at offset(0,0,0) - Set random_vx Self.random_vx*-1
                                               - Set random_vy Self.random_vy*-1
[/code:11hm8cps]

So the bullet go well in the opposite direction but with not the correct angle actually.

I try to add bullet behavior or add anothers plug in like rex_pixel-collide with your plugin canvas to detect angle of collision and add it and the custom movement but nothing work  I search for a solution very simple too but I do not find... Thx if you coudl help me a little .

Again, all other behaviors won't really work with this.

Maybe try some ideas with bouncing in just events? Here's one idea that tries horizontal then vertical movement

x = x+vx*dt

if overlaps wall

--- x = x-vx*dt

--- vx = -vx

y = y+vy*dt

if overlaps wall

--- y = y-vy*dt

--- vy = -vy

Ty but if i do that and not use "Iso move by offset" to move the bullet the z-ordering not work anymore ;(

The idea is to understand how to do collisions in 2d first. It can be used in Iso by using the same idea only utilizing the Iso move instead.

If I could handle the collisions by manipulating only x and y it would go

But I think it's the function iso move to offset that I do not finally understand

Does this work for Zelda-style isometric gameplay, or just the "diagonal" perspective?

Televangelist yes you can use this plug-in to make a zelda
