  Most of the Construct Classic examples used distorts, but we don't have anything like that in Construct 2. If we did it would be a webgl solution only.

  The closest thing you could do in C2 now would be something like ray tracing where you cast lines/ stretch sprites from xy, to xy

  You can even cast multiple sprites end to end for the zigzag effect.

  Which coincidentally is much easier to do in C2 than CC.

  Well you can do it in eight directions, but the kicker is you need animations for each.

  Minimal about four frames:

  Walk

  Attack

  Run

  Die

  That's about 128 frames for the 8dir, for just one character.

  Notes for r47 say it still needs some work. Including a separate C2 update.

  Maybe.

  It's not designed for indexing, and it's not designed to replicate standard websites, so it would fall under the term "flashlike", however you can already simulate all the animations, and transitions of flash in html5.

  So neither would also be applicable.

  KaixaZero Yeah png is perfect for Construct. Besides it's not like you can resell anything from the store.

  Each, and every asset you add to your wishlist has its own license restricting its use to one project, and forbids "flipping".

  I think it might be better to get rexrainbow to encrypt the key in the plug, or at least allow users to set what the key is at runtime which we can in turn encrypt/ decrypt ourselves via some other plug.

  But you need to make a post in his thread about the plug, otherwise he may not see this.

  It's not like he's not super busy with other stuff.

  Might want to look for a javascript solution.

  That's not just plain ole text, its formatted html on different lines.

  Here's an example of lerping with set values.

  Note I think the ease out is exaggerated due to basically lerping a lerp.

  Yeah, no, but you could use unlerp as part of a timer.

  0 to 1 is a percentage, however using like you are results in it never getting to 1, or 100%

  You have to realise that current value is the only value that's changing.

  In order for it to work as a percent you would have the start value, to the target value.

  lerp(startvalue,targetvalue,0.1)

  lerp(startvalue,targetvalue,0.5)

  lerp(startvalue,targetvalue,1)

  Nice.

  Glad you got it figured out.

  We really do need have some sort of standard conversion for those negative angles.

  I mean you would expect software that simplifies game making to make everything work together.

  It's probably less confusing to users if you stick to the supported version on the forum.

  I should point out that it doesn't use mirrored, as it really complicates things for a relatively small savings on frames.
