Fake Circle Object

Actually, any shape, really.

Very nice solution, textures pull this off nicely. Kudos for scaling smoothness too!

Hint: Enable 'Force Own Texture' on the circle layer, and add the Erase effect to the green circle. You get just a nicely antialiased black ring which might be useful.

That's a useful trick.. And gets around the only major flaw I can see with my implementation. The border goes wonky in the case of complex shapes (think swiss cheese).. But those are not what this was designed for. Force own texture does not, however, allow for especially thick borders.

I just thought of something. Force own texture with lots of layers might create a nice dynamic toon effect. I will play with this idea later.

Hey nicely done

That's pretty much how I used to do stuff like that in MMF/TGF. Works good, but works even better in Construct

So basically this is just how to make a outline without using the "outline" effect?

Simple but well made. I liked the smooth scaling
