  Thanks Ashley. Understand how it works now. I was looking into using SVG just because I wanted a super large object animated and thought the vector vs PNG might help with project size and CPU. However I guess its just not supported across every platform yet.

  Yeah I made the animation in svgator and you can export with css. I had been using the javascript option. Just noticed that when I preview (double click on it) The animation plays in the preview but not on runtime. Construct does let you edit the XML file which is controlling the animation. I'll see if I can find what is stopping it from auto playing like it does in the preview.

  Has anyone been able to play an animated SVG in construct 3?

  Brilliant as always Ashley I was able to get the canvas size to work. Seems like Construct can do anything if you think about it the right way. I don't know how you have the time to answer everyones problems & questions. Real commitment to your awesome platform!

  Maybe zoom is the wrong word for it. Orthographic scale might be a better term. I want the player to see more or less of the isometric/orthographic map.

  When in 2d (with pre rendred isometric/orthographic graphics it was easy to just scale the layout.

  I'll test it top down as would be fairly easy. I'm guessing you are right though :)

  Looking at an camera angle and moving the camera away and closer to the player is some fairly hard trigonometry to implment in Construct

  This helps a lot:

  Much more complex than I thought it would be. Still trying to sort out all the unwanted stuff to just get down to the 3d camera zoom in and out.

  So I had been using the layout size to zoom in and out of my project with the mouse wheel and a global var (in 2d) works great! But now trying to figure out how this works with a 3d camera. I'm using the Orthographic demo:

  editor.construct.net

  How would you zoom in and out the orthographic view?

  Ok figured it out. Didn't realise the orthographic camera demo was using a tiled BACKGROUND and not a tile MAP - Sorry

  Yes tried that as its such a simple event line. It just refuses snapX and snapY now.

  Thinking it could have to do with 3d now?

  Anyone have an idea why this set to position is not working?

  Both Tilemap1 and mouse are added to layout from another project where the comand works fine:

  Tilemap1.SnapX(Mouse.X)

  

  

  Pevious:

  Can anyone point me to a tutorial on making a skill or quick action bar? Like at the bottom of most MMO games or like Minecrafts item bar.

  I was thinking 1 sprite repeated for each slot. Then give it instance varitables for all the possible skills?

  The idea being you could customise the skills or actions you want to use. Usually with keyboard 1, 2, 3, etc.

  Cheers!
