[Effect] 2.5D Platformer

Is it possible to create a top-down view of the tall buildings with this fx? I mean really tall, like skyscrapers.

Something similar to this, maybe? -> https://www.scirra.com/forum/red-riding-hood_p741850?#p741850

You mean like a city view from sky ??

I am not good at perspective ..

Gigatron

Yes!

I'm thinking about high speed air-racing in a city environment with use of this ->

It will be hard to set the collision shapes then...

Gigatron

Yes! <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy"> Exactly like this. The buildings should be taller, even without seen rooftops <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink">

have used lastv8 map just for fun... <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

For the collision you must follow this topic, it will be hard;

Don't forget this fx is just visual ...

Better than word, i would like to share the .capx you will understand the formula and how it's made. No math or complex formula.

Really easy for use... http://gigatron3k.free.fr/html5/C2/25dc ... ytest.capx

Have fun ...

Gigatron Thank You. I will test it next week. Have a good one!

Just forget something like threejs camera rotation in this fx;

x,y,z axis and rotate angle params were added ..

The latest version 1.27 of this fx was updated, download link is in the first post of this topic.

Interesting to make 25d board games ???

Have fun ;

Gigatron nice going wonderful work

Gigatron If only the effect could be working outside the square ->

You must set parameters for fx working inside the square; if you read this post, i said all squares are like a "screen"

and inside this screen the FX.

If you set the correct params it will working.

Gigatron Aaaah. I see now. Thanks! (It would be great to have the explanation for every parameter of the effect, directly in C2)

I understand your goal, but i will try to do something similar for you....

Quickly...http://gigatron3k.free.fr/html5/C2/25dcity2

Look carefully all params ; depth.. etc.. used layout scale too..

In your request i must use some sort of 3d like z component (depht).. will see later .

I will explain all parameters soon...

Gigatron This spot-on! Great work! As a sidenote I wonder how far this effect can be pushed - with C2 implementation of quasi 2.5 purpose. Once again - thank You.

If we continue with 25d platformer fx, we can do many many good games..

Here are spaceinvaders behavior(unpublished) + score counter fx + 25d fx in action.. with music;

Gigatron I have one more request. Could dynamic shading be optional (on/off toggle)? I would like to use textures with already baked-in shading, like foggy, gray bottom (imagine skyscrapers growing out of the fog).

The other thing is when buildings are placed close to each other, sometimes their perspectives overlap the wrong way, but I think it could easily be corrected by some kind of sorting in regard to player's position...

I'll see what I can do for it....
