Destructible terrain (0.95)

Example showing destructible terrain in 0.95 using the Canvas object and Update Collision Mask. Control the red sprite as a platform movement, and click to cut a circular chunk out of the terrain. This is done by pasting a sprite with an Erase effect. Updating the collision mask then allows the platform movement to respond to the change.

Nice now we can do things like destructible walls or make worms-clone.

Nice work.

VERY nice

Well I guess I already mentioned it, but 0.95 is just great!!!

This cap is crashing when I run it. Have installed 0.95 and also the new fancy update fixes dialog box has been updating all components. I have not yet tried to restart the computer. I will do that when I get time.

The error dialogbox has Microsoft visual C++ runtime library.

Can only suggest you uninstall and delete all previous builds then reinstall. Nothing else I can think of could cause it.

List your specs, anyway

How do I remove previous builds?

I have tried uninstall and install. Same thing happends.

I also notice that if I edit a sprite I can't copy or save it. The save button is grayed out. Tried ctrl+a to select all and nothing happends. Tried selection box and ctrl+c but no image could be copied.

this rules

I'm sure this is nice if it could work on my machine.

Does somebody have a video clip I can view?

I also removed all sprites and scripts but the cap still crashes.

What properties is using the latests features?

Happy day friend! Have an EXE! http://www.mediafire.com/?nyzmynlnz9s

Thanks!

This is really cool.

Is there any way to make it so when you do something like this:

The floating portion that is left behind falls down, complete with physics and all?

E.g.:

That would be pretty awesome...

WOW! I was shocked when i seen it!

This seems nice, but is there any way to get it to work without the mouse? The Canvas object seems to be very strongly tied to the mouse co-ordinates, and I can't find a way to paste in the 'damage' object wherever I want (i.e. without clicking somewhere).

Any advice on how I could do this? I guess I could use the DrawPoint function to draw an array of pixels, but that really seems like it shouldn't be necessary.

Well I am still very new to construct, but after trying out this example I was amazed at how simple destructible terrain could be. I was excited to implement it into my games. Then I read your post and thought to myself this doesn't sound right, if this is true that doesn't make it very useful at all. So really quickly I thought I would open up construct and see if I could do it without the mouse.

I attached what I did, its nothing special but press "Z" to drop metroidesque bombs lol.
