Butt or Square Line Caps? Still?? Why???

A circle Line Cap was requested over a year ago. Is this really that hard to achieve? I was able to do a circle line cap back in Construct 2, so why can't we do it in Construct 3???

Does anyone really want to draw scratchy jagged images rather than smooth images?

Who uses a square pen to draw things???

The first 2 images are done in Construct 2 with a round pen.

The final 2 are in Construct 3 with a square pen.

The problems are really highlighted in the space image, where all they've done is tried to colour it in.

So my honest question is this... is it really that hard to just add in a circle Line Cap???

I feel your frustration. My solution was to draw a circle at every "break", setting its diameter to the width of the brush.

The thing is, if I do that and draw something fast, I just see a load of dots.

If I use the line tool, it draws a line between those dots.

This is a simplified version of my implementation. Shouldn't create any dots or unwanted behaviour.

And that is the case here, we can not take advantage of an existing browser feature and just hook it up to C3, instead it has to be an implementation of our own.

Oh, I had no idea, I thought this plugin uses browser canvas.

No. It updates a WebGL texture dynamically, which while much faster than drawing to a canvas and then creating a new texture from that... we don't get to use any of the built in features of a canvas.

That's why it was possible in Construct 2 but not Construct 3?

That's the reason it took me so long to upgrade to C3, as I had made a drawing game in C2 and couldn't upgrade it because of the non-round cap.

It's not clear to me whether we're talking about the Animations Editor or Drawing Canvas here. Construct 2 had no Drawing Canvas, so I guess you must be talking about the Animations Editor?

Ashley I believe OP is talking about the popular Canvas addon in C2 from R0J0hound, where it's possible to choose round cap for drawing.

This is a simplified version of my implementation. Shouldn't create any dots or unwanted behaviour.

Hi, your link doesn't work. Could you provide another screen shot or another link? I am having issues with the drawing canvas
