  • set a global variable for centerX

    do you want them to move like a foosball table? one goes right, the other goes with it.

    like a foosball table. 0X000c0X000 00X00c00X00 0000Xc0000X

    striker1.X-centerX= striker2.X C=500 S1=800 S2=800-500=300

    striker1.X-centerX= striker2.X C=500 S1=1000 S2=1000-500=500

    or.. like a mirror? one goes right, the other goes left? X0000c0000X

    centerX*2-striker1.x

    striker2=0 c=500 striker1=1000

    0X000c000X0

    st2=100 c=500 st1=900

    hope i mathed this out ok. i assume striker1 is right of center( as you said he has 100 pixels)

    fantastic youtube video about setting up camera for 1st person.

    i was new to 3d in c3, but, this video is so simple i got up to speed on it very quickly.

    tips for you: check out "billboarding" there is a free example in the start page tab on c3. it will rotate objects to camera in a 3d plane.

    dude, hell yea i watched your clips! honestly, they were a huge inspiration going into this project.

    my sprites still have variables from a kenshi style game i was working on, but i shifted to dungeon keeper after seeing your posts

    maybe i can find a use for detaching limbs in dungeon keeper...

    was thinking on going down a pokemon route, where creatures can evolve

    either way, i see you are still active! and will reference your work if i get a problem!

    my major concern going forward is checking room size. i saw a fill example. that basically filled a set area walled off, within a tilemap.

    did you ever work with tilemaps, and get into doing a "size/area" as dungeon keeper did, to work out room efficiency. what creatures share a bedroom.

    understood it was a few years ago.

    just a look at where im at. seeing as you guys are a huge help thought i would add video of progress

    i made the video on mobile... sorry about that.. ill do it more professional when the sprites are in

  • BaconSwagg

    wow wow wow. yup exactly what i was doing, and a great solution!

    if i sense the sprites are causing lag, im defiantly doing as you suggest!

    didnt see your post.. just wackytoasters.. or i wouldnt have spent half a day using sprites...

    at least its working right now. see how well it gets implemented into main game

    got it to work using spites! sorry its a video on my phone. for the main game, everything is scaled up, so pathfinding is easier

    yes... digging ming and map done.

    building should be easy now

  • ok, so, i have a digging game. like dungeon keeper.

    imps break 3d blocks. and i want them to then go claim the ground once the block has been destroyed. (they can already dig)

    i used a tile map. with all the different floors and room floors. Right now, there are 3 floor types:

    ground, ground that can be claimed, and claimed floor.

    i have made it so only ground next to a claimed floor can be claimed, once claimed, the surrounding "ground" tiles become "ground that can be claimed" tiles (simple code. just on click change tile at x,y+1 etc)

    as any pattern can be cut from the rock, making the tilemap reactive. i will never specifically know which tile where is "ground ready to be claimed". (or.. maybe i can?..there isnt an option for "for each" tile. only "for each" tilemap)

    i half thought about running a loop to check each tile. but, that wont get me the nearest.

    i suppose... the imp will always be on a certain tile... so i could reference its x,y to the tilemap... claimable tiles will always be reachable... meh, again i cant pinpoint tiles that have a certain tile.... unless... i have a second tilemap that logs imps location, and have a flood function to check area around the imp... but, i would need a tileset per imp so checks dont overlap.... i .. could maybe just set it as the imps child...but at that point i have spawned in 30 tilemaps... maybe i would be better just spawning in a sprite on "ground that can be claimed" and have the imp go to the nearest sprite

    im running with the spawn in a sprite on "claimable tile" atm. then imps go to the sprite, start work and hoping the tile at imps location changes instead of using an on click event.

    hope this elaboration helps lol.. hope you can see my train of thought on ideas, and any input or suggestions you have would be appreciated!

  • newt

    oho! this is very good info! thank you so much!

    im completely new to zelevation! never tried layer to canvas. top man

  • You do not have permission to view this post

  • yeah, so i see. thanks for your thoughts. just had to work around it knowing its not a thing.

    i use a 3d highlight tool pinned to mouse position. just makes it clear which block is selected.

    2d selector that drags out. just hard to pinpoint what you are selecting on a 3d block.

    but, i could totally do a 3d selector tool! thanks for bringing this to my attention lol

  • i have a tile map that will only let you click on an adjacent block. once clicked, the surrounding tiles can then be clicked

    (red yellow green. red is no, yellow can be clicked, green has been clicked)

    i need this to run without clicking, but on a playerbase arriving.

    ill need the playerbase to be able to pick a path to the corresponding nearest tile.

    i could: spawn a sprite at each tile, once it changes tile type. delete it then i could just pathfind to closest sprite.

    but.. it will be a big map, potentially hundreds of these sprites. is there a more efficient way?

  • BaconSwagg .

    can you help me again. how do i change a tile on the tile map by clicking on it?

    fyi, i post a ton of questions so i have info when i get to what im doing. basic programming done! time for building

  • thank you so much! had no idea

  • ive seen it before. cant see it now. how do i open the tilemaps tool bar please. so i can start tiling the tilemap.

    i read the manual for 30 minutes, cant find anything about opening it

  • C.x= A.x+R((B.x-A.x)/√((B.x-A.x)^2+(B.y-A.y)^2)

    for the X

    wow, it works beautifully and smoothly
