  Hi everyone! I'm doing my first game "Portal way". This is a puzzle game where you need to find the right path using portals and other mechanisms.

  The work still in the progress, but I already have a steam page: store.steampowered.com/app/3553010/Portal_way

  I'm currently working on a couple of new mechanics and a steam demo.

  Here I'm going to post a bounch of devlogs and my thoughts in the development process.

  calminthenight Thank you! With your help, I finally figured out how obstacle map regeneration works. This way there is no bugs and the behavior works as expected with the correct events.

  How big is your layout?

  currently its 1920*1080, but at the other resolutions the result is the same.

  Simple Games the problem is I'm not sure if it is a bug or if I'm doing something wrong.

  calminthenight Looks like you are right, it depends on number of the creeps and the region size. I've changed the region to 16*16 and the bugs disappeared.

  But the event of regeneration the whole map still takes about 7 ticks and the event of regeneration a region still takes about 20 ticks.

  You can test this by changing both events to "pick random instance"

  But in the real game there are more then 1 creep, thats why I testing on 1000 instances. Unfortunately, map regeneration for 1 instance doesn't take effect for all the instances.

  I've changed the every x seconds condition to timer trigger. Unfortunately the result is the same. To regenerate the entire map is still faster than to regenerate the region.

  calminthenight There is trigger condition above. The map regeneration runs every 0.5 seconds. I know this is too freqvently, but this is for demonstration purposes only. In a real game the player will do it himself. Here is full events sheet:

  

  Also I added a link to the .c3p file in the 1st post.

  Hi!

  I'm working on a Tower Defense game with the maze building mechanic. Currently I'm using the standart pathfinding behavier.

  When a player adds a new obstacle, the map should be recalculated. To do this I regenerated a region instead the whole map. But I fond out that the regeneration of the entire map is less laggy than than just its part. An event of regeneration the whole map takes about 7 ticks and an event of regeneration a region of that map takes about 20 ticks.

  Why is this happening?

  Is it a bug or I missing something?

  Use an anglelerp() expression instead of just lerp().

  You can set the camera position something like that:

  "W" is down -> camera set position lerp(self.Y, character.Y-500, 0.1)
