[Plugin]Board, Layout2Board [Behavior] Grid Move

I have a few of suggestions for future inclusions in the plugins if you are looking for input:

Diagonal isometric movement like the blue ball in this image: kirupa.com/developer/isometric/images/ball3dcompare.gif

The possibility of creating a 3D tile grid with CubeTx. So far it seems only chess can have a spatial z-dimension, which makes creating playing fields like this more difficult: filebuzz.com/software_screenshot/full/isometric_turn_based_strategy-440698.png

Finally, isometric hex projection would be awesome:

Your plugin is already fantastic, but if you are looking for ways to improve it even further, those are at least my most wanted features.

Yes, you are right. One of way to create tiles/chess is using "for" condition, so you could use loopindex("x") , loopdindex("y") to assign the logic X, Y index.

Monokkel

Thanks for the advice. These plugins could not support 3d tiles except CubeTx , so it only can display 3d tile.

I will add this to my TODO list.

Hi rexrainbow.

Is there a way to implement something like perlin noise with your plugin to generate a random but good looking logical maps ?

Thank you

That's quite the list :)

I think it would be a great addition, as much of the point of isometric projection is to create the illusion of depth, and having a z-dimension greatly increases this illusion.

I'm not sure. I need to find an algorithm to do that. It is better to make another plugin to create a random array like that.

Release chess bank plugin to help designer save/load board(chess) more easily.

I'm completely confused.

I just tried to make my Procedural tile map generation. there is a tile object with 3 frames.

for x from 0 to 10

for y from 0 to 10

create tile to loopindex(x), loopindex(y)

stop animation

tile.frame = random(3)

set animation frame to tile.frame

It creates random framed map.

Now I want to make

(Neither I can't get chess.chess.UID's sub properties nor loopindex(x)-1. sub properties)

compare loopindex(x)-1.tile.frame not equal loopindex(x).tile frame then

global.randomize50 = random(1)

if global.randomize50 = 1 then

loopindex(x).set animation frame = loopindex(x)-1.tile.frame

Which I try to do is if a tile is frame 1 then %50 chanse for tile which is on right is also frame 1.

Maybe I don't have enough english to explain my self. Sorry about that.

I just tried to make smth like perlin. Like stones pile up somewhere, irons pile up somewhere else (with high probability)

----------------------------------

I know I really have to learn math. I unfortunately suck at math.

my second problem is, Is there anyway to do smth like

if there is tile.frame = 2 then

for 5 squares range there is not another tile.frame = 2

maybe this is not the place to ask these questions. I wish if there was a way to get object's property's with for example

Chess.Chess.DIR2UID(2,0).private variable

But I can't access to exact tiles while on for condition.

Sorry to disturb.

Thanks for any advice

Update

[Plugin] board

• Fix bug when picking instance after creating chess.

Hi Rex, are some of the files corrupt? They don't appear as openable files e.g. rex_board, rex_board_hexTx, rex_chess, etc...

They show up as just 'file' rather than 7z like your other plugins

When I try and open them anyway with WinRar and unload them to the plugins folder, an error pops up: "Unable to load plugin in c:construct2\exporters\html5\plugins\rex_chess':found 'GetPluginSettings' global, but it is not a function

This plugin will not be available in the editor

EyeHawk

rex_chess is a behavior, put at c:construct2\exporters\html5\behavior folder.

Hi all,

I would like to add more SOL methods to help designer pick chess more easily, any suggestion?

Thanks Rex, I mixed up some of the behaviors when copying to the plugin/behavior directories - all is working now

Update

[Plugin] Board

• add "condition:Pick chess at Logic X,Y,Z"
• "condition:Pick chess above tile UID", now the parameter of tile's UID could be number, or a JSON string for a list of tiles. It is useful to get chess from instance group.

For example

<img src="http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j352/rexrainbow1/screen-1_zps55208f2e.png" border="0" />

The tiles with matched symbol will be saved into instance group "match 3".

Use expression: GroupToString("match 3") to get tile's UID in JSON string. Then put this string in parameter of tile's UID.

+ Pick chess above tile UID: InstGroup.GroupToString("match 3")

Update

[Plugin] Board

• Fix bug on "action:Swap"

[Behavior] Grid move

• Add "action:Swap", to swap with other chess which has grid move behavior.
