  • I think this is a great idea. Construct doesn't ship with any graphics libraries at all. Sadly, I suck at art.

  • all plugins are Visual C++ 6.

    ...except 3D box, which is Visual Studio 2005, and a handful of others. Also, the runtime is built in Visual Studio 2008 (but could be back-ported to 2005 fairly easily).

  • Event 4 should read:

    Text: set private variable 'total' to 0

    This resets the counter 'total', because the next event does the counting.

    Then event 6 should read:

    Set text to Text('Total')

    ie. display the total found by event 5.

    Overall you're doing this:

    Reset count to 0

    Count the total

    Display the total

    Your current file omits the 'reset count to 0' stage, so the next time the events are read, it's adding even more to the old total.

  • It's a future possibility: 3D box was originally meant to be a proof-of-concept, that it is possible to throw some 3D in the middle of the 2D rendering. So theoretically it's possible to do meshes and stuff, but architecturally (under the hood of Construct) things aren't quite as efficient as they could be - so once it's all sorted out and optimised to be as fast as it can - we can then take it further.

    Meshes, mesh animation and such would still make for a very in-depth plugin and entail a lot of work. I think it would be a post-1.0 project - it makes sense to have a solid 2D base before we go hiking off in to 3D land.

  • Well when I run it through the debugger it memory leaks and hangs which means I'm gonna have to spend some time on it. You could, however, go for the old trick: delete stuff until the problem goes away, then work out which deleted thing fixed it. (Don't forget to backup!) If you could give that a try and let me know what "fixes" it, it could save me a lot of time...

  • This looks like a tricky bug. Could you post it to the tracker?

  • [quote:jjcs4cho]Yay! Btw, when does the new build come out? It has been already nearly month since last build.

    It should be out soon. A lot of good stuff in the next build!

    [quote:jjcs4cho]Maybe you could still add qarp() (quadratic interpolation: lerp(lerp(A, B, x), lerp(B, C, x), x), that's useful for smooth curves. People could make smoothly curving paths etc. without math.

    Sounds good. Will try get it in the next build.

  • As I said, it's created automatically but you have to move it on-screen yourself before you see it.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

  • You can tint objects using the colour filter in common properties, though. You might be able to work out something with that.

  • It runs fine here but only red squares appear - this is to be expected because the blue objects created with it by default are created offscreen - if you immedately after 'create object' set the blue object's position to just below the red object's, then you can see it as well.

  • I'll add an angle-of-motion thing to the bullet movement for the next build... but as a workaround for now you can make the bullet object invisible, and put a rotating sprite on top of it (always set position to another object). Put them both in a container and the paired creation/destroying is done automatically.

  • Drasa: beautiful! Great mesh!

    David: disgustingly brilliant
