  • Remove all "for each" conditions. They're redundant in this case.

    Also don't forget that you're running many collision checks with "is overlapping", which is very cpu intensive. Instead, create your UI hierarchies directly in the layout.

    That way, you can get rid of the entire hierarchy setup on runtime.

    And you can disable "collisions" on all sprites. All this only helps for performance issues during start of layout though.

    If you actually have performance issues when clicking the buttons, maybe try a different variant to animate your UI instead of "Tween".

  • Keep in mind that it's a 2D effect, but yes it could possibly work.

    The examples shown above are all 2D.

    I've no idea how Construct handles 3D in the backend and i'm not interested enough into Construct's basic 3D implementation to dig into it.

    Feel free to test it out yourself.

  • Release - NormalMap32 v1.9

    • Added Normal Map Angle parameter to support rotated and/or rotating normal maps.
    • Added light max id parameter to keep shader iterations in the WebGL2 variant as minimal as possible. Which further improves performance if you are not utilizing all 32 lights.

    These new features shift all parameter IDs by 2, meaning that existing projects need to be adjusted.

    New example project to showcase the new features is available for download.

    Description

    NormalMap32 allows you to create and control up to 32 colored point lights that interact with a 2D normal map texture. The result is a simulated 3D lighting effect.

    What Is A Normal Map?

    Normal mapping is a texture mapping technique used for faking the lighting of bumps and dents – an implementation of bump mapping. Each normal map pixel represents the direction in which the sprite's pixel is facing.

    How Does It Work?

    You have to create OpenGL/WebGL compatible normal map sprites for each 2D sprite you want to apply the effect onto. This normal map sprite is used as a foreground effect that needs to be placed on top of the original 2D sprite background.

    You can create Normal Map sprites either automatically using Normal Map Generator software, or draw them by hand. The NormalMap32 effect needs to be applied to each normal map sprite you've imported into Construct 3. Light sources are then defined within the parameters of each normal map sprite effect.

    Please note that a light source object is not a requirement, but it's a convenient way to create dynamic lights within your game, as shown in the fully documented example project.

    Examples

    Performance Considerations

    Applying the effect to lots of individual normal map sprites can be costly. It is recommended to apply the effect to a single layer instead. Set Max Light ID to the lowest possible value for enhanced shader performance.

    Notice

    NormalMap32 evolved from the NormalMapExtended addon. Compared to NormalMapExtended, NormalMap32 offers more functionality and less complexity in an overall enhanced package.

    Features

    • Supports WebGL1, WebGL2 and WebGPU.
    • Up to 32 simultaneous RGB light sources per normal map.
    • Linear, quadratic or mixed light falloff.
    • Distance clamping for spot light effects.
    • Supports flipped and rotated normal maps.
    • Global ambient RGB light.

    Lovely guide and update, was able to create a webgl2 variant including webgl1 fallback with ease.

    Thank you!

  • You do not have permission to view this post

  • Just drag and drop the project file into Construct.

    Or if it's a project folder, import it using the Construct menu.

    You don't even need a license to open it. A project is not bound to any Construct license.

    Keep in mind that you will need the project file/folder, not an exported game.

    Their products are education oriented. It's not made to remind devs, but kids. Get over it.

  • Click the link in my last post.

  • You can try to convert the C2 plugin to a C3 plugin.

    Or you open the project in C2, remove the plugin (and all events related to it), then open it in C3.

  • Sure.

    You could seperate the leg animation from the upper body.

    Or seperate the arms as an individual animation.

    Or create an additional full body animation that combines both walking and punching. Then switch to the combined animation whenever it's needed.
