  • In C2 I used pode's html Iframe plugin.

    Hopefully it will get ported over to C3 too.

    Oh excuse me I didn't know we had an online SAS comment section bad ass here.

    Maybe you can make a tutorial on how to be a witty douche to people making jokes.

    Hit a nerf aye ....

    Put That in an endless loop and you'll get a nervous breakdown.

  • You probably have no idea why it happens, do you ?

    Well ... good for you.

  • since it seems that it's only properly working for circle objects.

    that might actually be the reason a second player can bump another player through, seeing as my objects had corners etc, and during a multitude of collisions it could be at an angle where the bump direction is towards the solid; I could imagine with a circle this being easier, that it would (near?) always bump away from a solid.

    sry for the double post

    Were you ever able to get this to work?

    From what i can remember your last version of the tank game used push out as soon as you've overlapped a non-solid object while at the same time activating the solid to prevent the player to walk through.

    As long as the player was constantly touching the solid, other players were also coliding.

    Somehow you got a workaround for that but there was a bug that as soon as the 2 players touched each other, the player who's supposed to be pushed back fell through.

    Nethertheless there were always some kind of bugs which you also weren't able to fix.

    Or were you actually able to get it to work in the end?

    Not as we both desire haha

    ... too bad ... if the solid had just 1 extra filter option, either inactive on certain families with a boolean set or only active on same layer, it would save a lot of hassle ..... (or like 10 events )

    The closest you (I) could get was the example you mentioned up until the player got that extra push from another player.

    Another option was/is smart layout designing where you try to prevent such scenario from happening layout wise (often near impossible with stairs and/or up/down systems for floors)

    A few posts back you mentioned about having the entire collision system running on both ends; which will not work in a multiplayer scenario where the objects are synced, making the peer somewhat off position on another peer (not host).

    This last scenario is when I gave up, I got my examples working "ok" for my needs, up until I added a 3rd player.... then it was right back at the beginning of the issues. That tank game is a whole lot further now, but hardly has extra layers/floors.

  • My larger projects generally have a global invisible sprite with dosens of booleans and variables determining a variety of games states; where the booleans are checked whether or not pieces of code should run and the variables can contain json strings from arrays or smaller variables such as lvl, health bullets etc.

    Saving the global invisible sprite to local storage asjson gives a great save method.

    I use groups mostly to structure my event sheets and have events sheets for specific parts of the game such as controls or FX etc

  • ..... the multiplayer engine was built more for top down..

    It can be used in near all game types, it's all in the approach.

    Last (for fun) project I was working on was a RTS space game:

    I managed to pull it off, did tests with 4 players on a lan each able to create up to a dozen ships and able to control each ship individually or as group(s) and fight each other.

    The amount of ways you can develop a multiplayer mechanic are about as diverse as the options to move a sprite from a to b.

    That's entirely in Apple's hands - and they're working on it.

    Keeping my fingers crossed then ^_^

    Ashley wanted to call it Cirrus after the cloud type, but that .com was taken so he swapped a few letters about

    hah, was expecting something kewl, like nordic, especially after explenation of Skirra, it sounded a bit like Skarra, from that game vikings ^_^

  • We always say it in office as Skirra (pronounced like Skipper) but most people say Seera or Sirra

    Origin story ?

  • But how to pronounce 'Scirra' is still a mystery

    I always thought like Scirra without the C; Sirra.

    Are you talking about the Construct 3 editor, or games made in Construct 2/3, or multiplayer?

    The multiplayer object used in games.

  • I'll add some to the positivism

    Tom

    A couple years ago I thought your presence here seemed rather useless (couldn't see your contribution to scirra).

    Now I've been gone and out most of the last 18 months, but man, you've stepped up.

    Nice forum presence and arranging a wildcards of things ... Nice work ^_^

    P.s. add a new blog occasionally (personal interest ones)

  • This thread brings back some memories ^_^

    A simple basic filter approach could be; solid interaction when the objects in question are on the same layer.

  • Make it work on ios and osx and lot more developers will try harder/longer to make working multiplayer projects.

    The fact it only runs on android doesn't cut it for the more serious and devoted developers.

    Also, for those interested, I added a topic on the suggestion system to expand the plugin with audio video capabilities.

    WebRTC's forte is audio/video/data streaming.
