  • You can fake an isometric jump by leaving your movment stuff on your black box, then adding a sprite that follows above it. When the player jump, you simply increase the Y value of where it lands to appear as if its up on a higher level. So once they go up a step, they would be jumping starting from 10, instead of zero for example. The movement sprite always stays on the ground though.

  • I love C2 for the fact that you don't have to type out endless code in the traditional sense being an artist. I can visually understand the list of events much quicker and easier. Its like speaking plain english when i read through what's going on. And you can beat the immediate satisfaction of being able to play something as quickly as throwing on a platform behavior for example and a ground plane. Very few game engines allow you to immediately get your creative ideas out there and iterate.

    C2 is amazing!

  • Yes of course

    Sprite.ImagePointX(1)

    Sprite.ImagePointY(1)

    gives you the image point 1 location of sprite.

  • Hrmm, seems a a bit more difficult managing 2 seperate tilemaps.

    I guess at the start of the layout one could loop through their first decorative tilemap, and change its corresponding collision tilemap square on or off depending on what type of tile.

    seems easier from a design standpoint to simply combine the two functionalities.

    Is it too difficult to have a per tile solid checkbox?

  • Resetting the dialogs worked! how odd.

    problem solved!

  • Is it possible to call the browser File/Print dialog box from within C2? or would i need to call some external code to do that?

    I'd like to find a way to provide the option to print a hard copy of a screen of my game.

    thx

  • Sounds like you want to make some sort of endless runner, check the tutorials section, theres a few example.

  • This works fine for me in 152 on windows 7 64 bit

  • Add a tilemap object to your scene

    it will load a default tilemap bg

    use the open button to choose your own tilemap

    on the properties panel on the left side of the screen there are options to see how big each of your tiles are etc, so it knows how to break them up.

    No pick a tile by clicking on it from the tilemap menu (might be hidden as a tab next to the objects window depending on your screen layout.

    pick the pencil icon and chooose a tile in the window below and start drawing in the game play area,

    you can also pick the rentancle tool and choose an area of tiles in the tilemap window eg: a 3x3 block then click and drag to draw a 9 patch rectangle of tiles

    voila!

    Now that we have per tile collision is there a way to remove the collision box on certain tiles in the tilemap? eg: mountain tiles? The editor doesn't seem to allow you to delete all collision box points for a particular tile.

    It seems the only way to do it right now is to simply delete the tile you want to remove collision on. Thus requiring 2 tilemaps if you want to use one for a bg artwork and one on top for collisions, is that correct? or is this functionality simply not added yet.

    am i correct that you need to add a solid behavior to the tilemap object to get per tile colissions working?

    thanks.

  • Hovering the mouse over a tile in the tilemap window as described in the beta release notes does not appear to work.

    windows 7 74 bit - C2 152 beta

  • Clicking the Edit Tile Collision Polygon button in the tilemap window does nothing.

    Double clicking the desired tile opens up the image editor window just fine though.

  • You can fake a infinite scrolling space background using this plugin

    scirra.com/forum/plugin-sprite-sheet_topic78654.html

    simply connect the keypresses of flying your ship to the offset x and y of the special tiled background in this plugin.

    Here's an example file

  • box is overlapping box at offset - 32, 0

    (sub event)

    box animation frame = box.animation frame

    do action

    this checks the box next to it 32 units to the left

    then compares the box's current frame to the one next to it

    if they are the same, then it will perform the action you want.
