  • oh this is so awesome ... you basically made the controller digital ... cross-platform.. no more getting stuck to buy a xbox controller that wont work on PlayStation.. however... u need ur game to be view-able on a xbox or PlayStation browser that supports ur game ... which i think is already doable right? and also takes the problem where i want to play the game using a controller but i dont have a controller for my desktop... thats also awesome ur a genius dude... sell this design to EA and ul be millionaire ... im serious XD unless this is already on market XD

    C2 + Q3D yeahh... but sadly no. C2 was not build in any 3d features in mind and because of that it's really a pain to work with it. Bought it, have it, but can't wrap my head around placing objects on the layout (and have no time to build my own 3d editor to use with Q3D). maybe in C3 Q3D will be better supporter, which I really hope it will!

    thats because ur used with a 3d viewer editor ... look at C2 + Q3d as a 3d editor with a top view lock ... so i think that will make u understand it better .. from what im looking at ... all this stuff... might be possible in the next 3 years maybe.. not now ..

    as for 3d with C2 depends on the complexity of your game.. c2 is not meant for 3d games.. and even if u run ur game in windows via nwjs wont run smooth on browser.. since u need a browser nwjs plugin... which doesn't exists.. if u run the q3d game in html5 exporter.. will be laggy as hell ... even the featured demo of q3d is laggy .. and also all dependencies are based on webgl... so its harder to make c2 run as flawlessly as unity let say.

    anyway c2+q3d good for small games ex: 3d pinball... offline/online standalone game old halflife like (slower douh), 3d platforms and stuff like that .. as long u know how to limit ur self and not make ur game playable for people that paid 10,000 usd for a gaming rig.. most people are using a quad core 1.5 ghz .. 90% of them play games using tablets. .. see the dilema?

    garyrossiter no for now there is no official tutorials just the ones that people posted.. and the q3d official example capx files that are commented ...

    shinkan dont take it personally i was just showing some points... that most people encounter i did too and passed them but i have to agree c2+q3d not a good match in end if u want a full crossplatform game

  • dryas i have a similar problem just my issue is how do i run the lobbyof a game on a Linux server... for example ...

    if u take a look at the lobby tutorial i linked above the lobby capx doesn't require multiple instances or a client to run it u just need to host it or keep it on ur own machine opened... just .. i dont want to have my computer open 24/7 so i want the lobby capx opened on a Linux server wold that work?

    and wold the plugin u said is a fix .... wold work with that? im kinda of a noob in networking area... i only need the lobby to be opened 24/7 without a gui .. or trough a server that has the gui interface opened and i can log off and forget about it.. its essential for my project... im doing a agar.io like clone... and requires a live lobby ... then the rooms(or as clients will see "servers" ) are easy to make and everything else is just client side..

    blackhornet i think you could answer it more accurate

  • try using the bullet parameter sprite.bullet.distancetraveled >=(greater or equal) to 280 = disable bullet

    this way when ur bullet will travel 280 pixels in any direction you point it at will disable itself.

  • As far as i remember. The Mouselock plugin doesn't work with NW.js? (games for Steam for example) That's a huge bummer if its not working for that

    Latest Mouselock works with nw.js .

    Just out of curiosity, is there a way to have multiple cameras and have an object hidden on one but not the other? I'm working on a project where the player can simultaneously look through a security camera and his own eyes, and I want to hide certain elements from appearing in both (certain gui elements, things invisible to the naked eye, etc). And there are instances where both cameras will be looking at the same thing.

    not sure if that can be done, so far i know cameras are not acting like objects... so you can pick 1 by name, and you could add another viewport and see if u can pick the feed from the 2nd camera to it. the 2nd port will allow u to have real-time map feed in different scale, however not sure how you pick the camera to be shown in it! O.O the only way you can create a camera is by using the master object.. which.. is a bit short on camera parameters.

    QuaziGNRLnose it wold be awesome if there wold be a future update object for q3dcamera

    i did a quick example for 2ndary camera and a 2nd viewport check image bellow

    you dont need to place the pick-camera on everytick events.. i placed it there cause i was rushing

    viewport can also show a surtain scene... not sure how that works, or what that means... different layout? did not use it before... but.. as i see viewport does not have a Z-Axes coordinates ... only X and Y so you only be able to place its position as a 2d object... unless u use some sort of 2.5D trigonometry and make it bend towards the direction u want.

  • shinkan i see your point... however the topics, i did read them before, just they dont really say why its buggy, or what it can do... it only says its bad ... i was mainly asking what its different since its a copycat made by people around www .. nevermind consider topic closed. i cant delete it anymore.. my bad...

  • aw the link from https://www.npmjs.com/package/com.intel.xapkreader its good, however ... how does it even work? where do you upload the new expansion pack? wold it automatically download the pack if u change the app or how? dont see the correlation between the download and hosted package ...

  • hey stumbled upon some game creation tools, one of which is GDevelop, and attracted my little eye... cause looks so familiar.. i said in beginning.. and it it looking so darn familiar.. that meaning looks exactly like Construct2 just with a new face... im guessing is based on the Construct classic or something similar... which is open source... as Gdevelop.. so im guessing thats why their on open source also... they aren't that well known.. but seen a few games with potential... and they say it has a 3d element thing? not sure what that is about...

    anyone used it? what is the power inside it? what are the limitations? is it a rip off ? i know its free but i meant is it just another clone? or is something new that might have something good to offer in future?

    i kinda dont see how they are still up... since its open source ...

  • I mean, simply, select an object, click on the layout, BAM! it is there.

    click again on the layout and you place another one. no dragging, no duplicating, no copy-paste. just clicks.

    i guess another object tab that does that could work.. it makes sense if u need to copy paste things fast ... but then if u miss the position of 1 item wold be a pain to go back and find it to place it in the right position.

    i do see the potential of the tool +1

  • as linkman2004 said .. you need to keep your events as i like to call the method SAS ( simple and stupid)

    that way youl find your way around the huge code ur engine that you build.

    having small codes with comments on each one what it does and for what purpose will help you later on, when youl need to fix 1 small bug. comments sometimes are a bit to hard to read... and might confuse you... but with the help with search events.. and having he right comment placed above it.. youl find you way very fast.. and with little frustration.

    i started splitting my code in multiple event_sheets lately.. because of the same reason.. i wold had 1 big event system and couldn't understand nothing after 2 days when i wold get back to it. either lack of comments.. either to many comments which tends to get frustrating to read ... so i just used small and many method.. and i know where to find what !

    Edit: lol... sometimes i talk spaghetti English also ... so it confuses me more... like the above post i did... i guess im tired.., you got the idea now its going to take more time to keep it organized.. but we have to think that its for our own good, and also for the good health of people that works with us.

    Using C2 its so addictive, to not care of the code inside, since its wrapping everything fast.. but when u have huge projects... that doesn't work that well.. and we need to organize things! have a rad night!

  • not sure what you mean! ctrl+drag does it already .. u want a toggle tool for ctrl+drag? i never use tools not even in photoshop.. learned the shortcuts... its much faster for me.. dont have to click back on tool box and select the thing i need. i just ctrl+ or i or p ..etc

    but i guess its going to be useful for some

    nice sugestion.

  • I knew it would be somewhere in my bookmarks - take a look at: https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/1003/page-1#tuttop this may help you <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink"> (example *.capx files are included!)

    yes i did looked at it before. actually for IRC now makes sense... and can be implemented in the same window...

    last night was actually having both capx in my computer and i think couldn't see it cause i was opening them separated hahaha instead to merge them ... lobby for lobby / game for game... sometimes i think im losing my mind

    thanks that solves 1 part of the project... (talking to my self: if im going to apply the lobby for a room.. that also makes sense... oh damn yes.. why couldn't i see it before... lol ..)

    thanks a lot Proxymity i think its solved! <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy"> where is the cookie reward jar!? O.O
