  • How to Construct a Snap Build system?

    Like the game Reaseemmbly or Nimbatus. I tried to mess around with it but im not good with programming really.

    The system for Reaseemmbly has a build mode so I guess Id have build mode then it will save the ship and load it in game after editing the ship.

    But the actual snapping and building of the ship im not sure the best way to do it at all. It has modules like a square or rectangle and each side has a snap point.

    So while building if you move a part near another part it will snap to the 2 nearest points together. How do I manage having multiple parts with snap points? It seems like they would need to connect to multiple snap points

    Somehow would need to be able to save the ships config to reload later.

    All the parts would be physics.

    I have a project file I can upload maybe but its just a sprite with physics on it to move around and some sprite like square and rectangle.

    This video shows the snap building system.

    I was working on a Multiplayer game you might want to look in to Photon, or Colossus I tried using them and got no where but they are supposed to be easier to make multiplayer with then without. I Dont know JavaScript, so I did not get far.. Im sticking to single player until there becomes more knowledge about multiplayer.

  • Hello Im trying to make 2 armies of units fight each other. So I have simple "Unit" that is like a Spearman. "Unit" is a Family I made in C3 in the layout there is 2 armies of Spearmen each in a line. On startup the "Units" move towards the opposite side and should detect any Unit that is on the other Team within range then call function "Attack" to the nearest enemy. The Attack would be a simple spawning of a Missile\attack sprite on the attacking Unit like a bullet.

    I have tested this having Team 1 Units, Team 2 Units as family's and objects and it works. But If I use this method I have to have multiple Units for each team. There must be a way to do it by Comparing Variable Unit.Team not= to other unit.Team variable but I can not figure it out. ]

    What is the best method of doing this?? Ill post a example If you dont understand what im asking.

  • how do I use plugin in C3?

  • Ill join but only if the % is equal according to the amount of people working on it. I can make and rig sprites if you can do the programming. Will it have online multiplayer?

  • Thanks I could not get the Search to work, didnt know it was there!

  • Can some one send me the Skend Effect for C3?

  • Hey I just wanted to say Lasmelon did some work for me and was great to work with. He did Great work! Also his art style is awesome!

  • Hey I was doing the project in c2 but recently ported it in c3. That's good cause I am more of an artist, but I can't focus on the art cause I'm busy trying to get the programming working!

  • Hey I just sent you a Pm with a link for discord, but I had to make a new account or something.. use this discord cause I am not logged into the other now

  • 8 direction with different weapons. Some weapons can follow mouse some shooting straight. Its supposed to be like Gradius \ Rtype Each ship will have multiple weapons and upgrades. There is 3 different types of Energy pickups you can get "Weapon Energy", "System energy", and "Time module energy". You can slow down the time of the game using the 3rd type of energy. Thinking about making so that if you speed up time you can get more Time energy, not just from pickups. It will have to be tested. Will be able to pause the game to select the upgrades while playing. Id like to make it more so that it will be more random and not just the same enemy spawns from the same spot every time.

    Are you more of a programmer or a artist? If you want to work on it with me Id be happy too. I am wanting to work with someone so that i keep interest and can have someone to relay ideas back and forth with. Do you want to talk through Discord?
