(Webgl2 / WebGPU support) A better outline shader than the one that already exists on the C3 addon stack exchange.
Thanks for the update! Unfortunately, your plugin is our only option, we recently posted this about BBCode outlines and Ashley confirmed it's an engine/browser limitation. Sprite fonts also have weird spacing and kerning with non monospaced fonts:
github.com/Scirra/Construct-bugs/issues/8318
Even with other fonts, BBCode outlines still doesn't work. We'll need to do some tests, but good to know to keep the precision step as close to the font size. Any other recommendations? Any support for Alpha, or we need to generate it behind an effect-free text layer and reduce the opacity?
For the alpha, I keep forgetting exactly how the shader works because I've made alterations in the past to accomodate for people asking for slightly different outline behaviors.
If you know a little bit about shader dev, it should be very easy to change the addon to add a percent parameter and multiply the final outline alpha by your new parameter.
I don't have a lot of time to make that adjustment right now, sorry. If you need help figuring it out, I would recommend heading to the Construct Community Discord server where me or any other shader dev can point you in the right direction :)
Thanks for the heads up. I'll look into the file, worst case, I'll just make a quick function that finds all of the text, duplicates it a z under and adds the effect with the lower opacity haha.
