Isometrics!

Hi Guys!

I know isometrics is a tricky subject to tackle with Construct 2, however here goes.

I've got a basic isometric set up (see below capx file), which I will add the grid reference translations to at a later date.

However, what I am wondering is, in this example, if I were to add an object say in the centre of the grid, how would I make the yellow marker move behind it and in front of it accordingly?

I've started by using layers (the grid layer is layer 0, obstacles are layer 2), whereby layer 1 represents being behind an object, and layer 3 represents in front of the object, but that may be tricky for multiple obstacles?

Also, the yellow marker shouldn't be able to pass through the grid reference where the object is (this shouldn't be a problem if I use blacked out squares....

So, an easier explanation:

How would I make the object so that the player marker can walk in front / behind it? (this will have to apply to walls and doors, too)

Thanks!

Can't you simply set objects Z order by their y position? So those higher up the screen are drawn before those below them?

rexrainbow released plugins to help you with that.

like:

thanks guys!

Using the plug in, I've got it working, but there is still no solid instance

However, I think I may know how to do this

I'll upload what I have so far, so you can see my progress

can you attach plugin too ?

yeah - here it is:

First: look at the collision polygones. I changed them all to be isometric. Meaning, they only have to match the floor. After that all is easy. You do not need all the ghost objects no more.

Secondly: The easy solution is always the same. Remember the objects coordinates. Move the object. Is the move illegal? ... then move it back to where it came from.

AHA!

That is EXACTLY what I am after!

Thanks!
