  • That's too bad, it would make some kind of universal gameobject possible. But it is a great addon anyway, without it i had to cycle through all animationframes on startup and load each image one by one, so thank you rexrainbow ... not only for this but for all your amazing addons

    Btw i just yesterday found out that your repository has a descriptions column. Maybe you could make the standart width of your repository app a bit wider that everybody sees that.

  • rexrainbow is it possible for you to implement a way to create or delete an animation or animationframe on runtime?

    You forget paid addons, and it can get very cluttered if you dont have the control over what addons get downloaded.

    It could happen very quick that you have a huge list of plugins and you dont know what 50% of them are doing.

    Would be good if addon developers could link to a documentation, it would be even greater if there'll be a place on the offical construct3 website for addon documentations, tutorials, examples, downloads and what not, so we all have a centralised spot for that.

  • A popup window would be good when you open a c3 .capx with an addon that you dont have.

    It contains a list of missing addons, optimaly its a direct link to a marketplace or something like that.

    sadly pathfinding doesnt work outside the layout even with unbound scrolling

    Yes you are right, some are more like feature request, i guess.

    But for example that all random functions work with a global seed and you are able to choose this seed, is very important if you want something procedural generated in your game.

    On a personal note, I really dont want c3 to get like unity, where u have to buy plugins for everything.

    For really specialised things, like the "collaborative editing thingy" it is awesome.

    But on the flipside...

    • developers dont feel the need to add feature xy anymore because there is a plugin for that
    • plugins rely on individuals (updates/bugreport/compatibility)
    • plugins add costs (thats ok as long as it isnt a core feature what should be in the engine)
    • there is often more than 1 plugin for each feature and each works a littlebit different

    how can u tell which is the best for your needs? which is the most reliabl plugin dev? which is the easyest and are there any tutorials for this plugin? you dont know, so you have to start wasting time to find out.

    I know there are many pros and I think everybody in here knows that. Its just a reminder that, while we all love plugins, there are some downsides to them and that we have to consider them too, when we tell ashley what the new version of the software we all grown to love should be like.

  • Pretty much everything in here, yes please

    Somethings I didnt see in here yet:

    • possibility to set a global seed for all random functions (random(x,y) choose(x,y,z,...) )
    • build in noisefunctions (simplex, perlin ...)
    • resize layout on runtime, or else behaviors work outside the layout too e.g. pathfinding
    • possibility to get the real world time ( yyyy/ mm/ dd/ hh:mm:ss )

    Something I saw and want to emphasize:

    A dark GUI pleeeease, there is a reason why all professional software nowadays goes with a dark GUI, its mutch easyer on the eyes then retina burning white.

    I know u can create your own color palette, and i did, but you cant color everything + the icons are black and gray what isnt the best for a dark theme

    Something that will never happen:

    Online collaborative editing of your game in real-time like heroengine, run arround in your gameworld with friends sticking "post-its" on everything that needs some work ...ahhh it was so mutch fun to work with

    Something to think about:

    I know most of the things kept easy in c2 to keep c2/c3 itself easy and quick to learn, and thats a good thing. But maybe we need something like an advanced mode or tab for more experienced users that are past this first learning curve.

  • Problem Description

    The samplemode (linear/point) doesnt update in the editor.

    You have to save your project, close Construct2 and reopen to update the sample mode.

    Attach a Capx

    Description of Capx

    Steps to Reproduce Bug

    • open c2
    • pixel a sprite
    • under project properties switch the sampling from linear to point
    • zoom in on the sprite in the editor to see that linear sampling is still active
    • (to fix this, save project, close C2, reopen)

    Observed Result

    The samplemode (linear/point) doesnt update in the editor.

    Expected Result

    The samplemode (linear/point) updates in the editor.

  • Awesome, thank you ramones

  • Hi, I noticed that if I change the animation speed of a sprite every tick that uses "ping pong"

    it plays like this: frame 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5...

    This isn't the case when looping. I can work around this by reusing the images...but thats what ping pong is for, isn't it?

    Maybe I'm doing something wrong but it works with loop, and i think it should work with ping pong too then, for consistency.

    So, if this isn't a C2 bug

    How do I... do this the right way?

    I have attatched a .capx file for better understanding.

    Thanks in advance

    i haven't tryed it myself, but maybe it helps you.

    And thanks Ashley for the info about the text object.

    • Post link icon

    But the day/night cycle also depents on the type/perspective of the game. a sidescroll and a top down rts/rpg day and night cycle are vastly different.

  • You have to find a way around this problem. For example, when you unpause the game make a flashing circle with text above "move cursor here to continue" ...or some thing like that. hope that helps

  • Sounds like the 9-patch object is the right way to go for you. https://www.scirra.com/manual/151/9-patch
