  • Scheduled to be wrong? Post your CAPX please, I'll see if I can tweak any settings :)

  • How many layers do you have? I didn't think it would cause an issue. I had about 19, but after seeing your post I tried my game out on Cocoon. It was so slow. I was getting about 20fps.

    I then recreated a level, reducing it to only 3 layers, and I'm not getting 62fps with full physics. Things start to slow down when I have around 10-20 physics objects moving at once, but when the settle it jumps back up to 62 until there is a collision again. When all but one of the physics objects are set to immoveable, it doesn't slow down at all.

  • Thanks ASHLEY. I'd prefer it the other way, where it recalls the status, so an immoveable wall is immovable by default once set, but to each their own. When I duplicate the layout, it's a lot quicker to CRTL-A delete everything and build from scratch, than pick and choose the elements I wish to keep. It's fine, I just have to remember to set things up each time. Not 100% sure what the benefit in having the settings revert to default each time is, but I'm sure there's something I'm not seeing.

    Any idea what's going on as shown in the video above?

    Yeah, I have a copy of each sprite on at least 1 layout, and each sprite on all of the layouts has the same settings. Maybe it's happening by design. Just erks me a little, lol.

    Have you watched the video? Any idea what's going on there?

  • Also, just figured out how to replicate what I was doing. I missed a step out in my explanation I'm afraid. Stupid me!

    When I duplicate the level, I delete all the objects in the layout and reposition them. The only reason I duplicate is so that I retain the names of the layers.

    So when I reposition the sprites, they do not retain the object properties, I suppose. So I guess this isn't a bug... but it's pretty frustrating. If I create a wall sprite, give it the immovable physics in one layout, place it down, it remembers the behaviours applied to it, but not the settings, which means I have to remember to set them all back up as their correct settings. Fade on start set back to no, immovable set back to yes, etc. They default for some reason.

    Just duplicate, delete, and add the sprite again.

    Like I said, probs not a bug, just a bit of a pain... but the attached above video certainly has me stumped, and looks like it actually could be a bug.

  • Ashley - Figured as much. I'm more than happy to send my project over to you, but I can't figure out how to narrow down what might be causing the issue. I do many many layers at the moment, around 19. Not sure if that's way too many. Can I PM the CAPX to you maybe?

    Also, it looks like I'm seeing another bug happening, which I can not figure out for the life of me.

    I've created an unlisted video for you or anyone else on here to have a look at and see what I'm doing wrong. The colour looks a little off, but I'm sure the content is viewable <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle">

  • Not sure if this is a bug.

    I have a very large event sheet, which contains things for all other levels, and therefore when I need to create a new level, I just need to duplicate my layouts, and then change the objects.

    Now, this is fine, and has worked in the past as far as I am aware, but now, when I duplicate it, it's not copying correctly.

    My physics objects which I set up as immovable, suddenly revert to being moveable, and objects with the fade behaviour with the 'active at start' as "no" become "yes". I spent a while trying to figure out why certain objects were invisible.

    Now, is this a bug? It's easily fixable, but undesired, surely.

    Ashley - Sorry if this should be posted elsewhere, but I wasn't sure it was a bug. I also don't have a capx to upload, as it wouldn't look like anything.

  • 2nd bunny killed me. Found the wall jump a little tricky. The art style's not too bad, and the animations are very fluid. Very interesting game. Where will this end up? I assume PC, but I think the style may suit a mobile device if you can get the controls working on that.

  • Interesting... using this method I have been able to keep the speed up, thanks! What an unusual bug. Oh well, only required a couple of extra lines :)

    Thanks a lot!

  • Hi guys!

    Just wondering if anybody can tell me why my game slows down if an object with physics if it plays an animation?

    It just seems odd. I've tried to set it so that the collision polygon is the same throughout, but it does seem to automatically stretch every now and then to fit the character. This would make more sense to me if the object was touching a wall or something while it is animating, but it's just falling down.

    Maybe it's just my PC. Can anyone else check this for me? Just load up the game and click somewhere on the screen.

  • Fantastic! It's the exact art style I'm looking for if you ever want to collaborate on a project <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  • Fun game. Really love the artwork. How long does it take you to create each one of those ships?

  • fassFlash

    Any luck on this? Or is it working fine for you? I thought a turret defence games would be easy with C2. If I have predetermined levels, then yeah, it should be easy, but I wanted to have the player be able to change the path on the fly.

  • fassFlash

    Sorry, yeah, it's in Beta. I haven't noticed any issues. It's pretty good so far. If I change it to every 0.1 seconds rather than ticks, it seems to work quite well, but it doesn't look that great. Also, sometimes the units (otherwise known as arrows at the moment) just walk through the turrets. Not great at all...

  • fassFlash

    Doesn't work when I change it to Every Tick. The arrow just sits there. Can you replicate it using the attached example?

    Not changed my Avatar left, still working on it :)
