Cut (or Slice) an Object...

Hi there,

do somebody know how we can slice a object in pieces (maybe with an laser or something else).

Hopefully we can do this with C2.

It will be perfect when somebody have an *.capx Example...

Thanks

Not possible, unless R0J0hound knows some magic with the canvas plugin.

For a quick work around - maybe you could use pre-sliced objects? Two halves of same sprite pined together. But it all depends what you are trying to do and what complexity of slices you want.

Nothing is impossible...

It's a nice example, but it's not "real" slicing or anything close to it.

I saw a game before, made with C2, a spaceship cutting the earth to go ahead, but didn't found it anywhere. It was 1 year ago.

Oh it's possible alright. <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

You'd need to have two copies of the sprite and then make use of the blend modes (check out the example capx for that) to make part of one sprite invisible and the corresponding part of the other sprite invisible. It gets trickier if you want to make the cut at an angle or off-center, but definitely doable.

I can't make an example right now because I'm on my phone, but let me know if you need one later on.

A little example will be perfect!

Here's a commented example showing it off. Unfortunately, making the cut at an angle (probably) takes some math which is just too extreme for me to be doing at 6 in the morning. <img src="smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Edit: I actually just thought of a simpler way that cuts out all the math! But now I'm passing out on the couch, so gimme a few hours and then I'll do it

Nice example ^^

Looking forward to see the complete sample file!

Here is a example that uses the canvas object. I made something similar in CC.

You will need to re-download the canvas plugin as I added some fixes to make it work.

Thats awesome example!

Tricky :D

R0J0hound, I got an issue. When i played your example, it suddenly stopped after the 9th or 10th cut. Then I tried showing the fps n the result's that the fps is unstable after the 9th or 10th cut. In the end before it stops, it reaches 1. Am i the only one experiencing this?

Thanks

Every cut doubles the amount of objects so after 10 cuts there are 1024 objects. So it's going to have lower fps the higher the object count gets.
