  • I am using the 3d object plugin and had to disable webGPU in order to stay on the latest beta of C3. But color change effects don't work now. I tried in both Chrome and Firefox but the effect is still not visible. Any advice? Chrome gives this error 

    GL_INVALID_OPERATION: Vertex buffer is not big enough for the draw call.

  • Hello.

    in my MP game peers sometimes freeze. what's weird is their mouse inputs still work and sprites still animate. But the 3d camera freezes and does not render. they keyboard does not work either. 

    runtime.js:1 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'GetInstances')

    Update:

    This seems to happen when projectiles are destroyed. projectiles right now are synced between peers. So when the host destroys them something must be happening on the peer side?

  • I am adding multiplayer and am using the real time example project as a guide. However while it's mostly smooth peers still get a jitter when they stop moving as they align with the host. peer inputs follow the example and are a bit variable only updated on network updates. So I am not sure what is going on. I have included a stripped down project if anyone would be able to help.

  • I am getting an error that the project file cannot be opened. I get this error from the console.

    sid looks like it relates to a link. so a link must be broken. But I can't tell what sid it is referring to. when I search the project file I don't find a null

  • Hello.

    Instead of making peer objects as they join. Their ID is added to a list that the host keeps besides other information regarding the player. (their team, chosen vehicle. ect)

    when the round starts all players go to the loadout and then the host makes the vehicle for each peer.

    however peers seem to get the wrong vehicle. on their end they get the wrong peerID when the object is made. As if they get it backwards. As you can see from the photo the peers on the left see the same tank on the blue square as belonging to the same peer. but the host sees it belonging to the other.

    update:

    it seems to be related to initial objects. I removed all instances of the tank from the layout and now peers always see the correct peerID. Before when there was one on the layout but it was destroyed on entering it seemed to cause peers to see the wrong ID when an object was made.

    Some of my effects have broken. They show up in the installed plugins window but I cant add them to my project. listed is Glitch, But other effects do not show either.

    I don't mean to cause trouble. But considering I payed for both the editor and effects I don't like they are conflicting with each other. These may get updated in the next stable release sure. But not all addons are so lucky.

  • The whole point of an orthographic view is the distance from the camera doesn't affect the size. You could try scaling the layer/layout instead.

    That does not fix my issue it seems. Also the orthographic view does not fit the preview window despite being on letterbox scale. I get the point is that distance does not affect the size and that is the desired result. so that objects maybe behind a wall on the corner won't be obscured by it's relative perspective. But not being able to choose the orthographic scale limits it's usefulness.

    Blender has a orthographic scale option in it's camera settings. could something like that be added to the 3d camera object?

  • Done.

  • I am using the raycast behavior on a canvas to create custom shapes based on collisions. But when I use the Fill Polygon command (blue) it renders in a glitchy fashion. yet the Draw Polygon Outline (red) works as intended.

  • I want the 3d camera to be able to zoom in and out. but it's always stuck at the same distance. I have tried changing the fov and the canvas size. but neither produce the effect.

  • Sir LoLz Try different versions from recent comments in this post.

    For example:

    thanks. that fixed it
