  • The mouse/touch should automatically work with the 3d position, but I don't think it will return the 3d value. The formula with the expressions canvas to layer, and layer to canvas will return the translation for a 2d object.

  • CanvasToLayerX("2dlayer",LayerToCanvasX("3dlayer", 2dobject.X,2dobject.Y),LayerToCanvasY("3dlayer", 2dobject.X,2dobject.Y)) CanvasToLayerY("2dlayer" LayerToCanvasX("3dlayer", 2dobject.X,2dobject.Y),LayerToCanvasY("3dlayer", 2dobject.X,2dobject.Y))

  • Dunno ask Brashmonkey.

    Probably more than you can have of video files playing.

  • newt there are still use cases for this, even if it's not a movie. For example, you might want to change timescale to speed up the game, but animations keep playing at normal speed. Or when the game runs below 60 fps because of the performance - animations will be slowed down to match fps limit, even though the game is not slowed down.

    Anyway, Ashley had already answered this question before:

    Yeah and he hit on another reason why its a terrible idea, you have wasted memory.

    Even if you set the frames via events those frames are still loaded into memory.

    This is why we have stuff like Spriter.

    We need tools for things like better controls for mesh deformations, not ways to show less frames.

  • Because its not a movie?

  • Try Construct 3

  • Sounds like more of a gotcha since you really wouldn't see all frames anyway.

    I mean designing it to skip frames seems counter intuitive.

  • You should probably tag mobile as well.

  • > 7000h and you Joined 16 Dec, 2021 , man that's a crazy month!

    I joined Contruct forum since 2013 , but I had issues with my other profiles. !!!

    Capx ehh?

  • We have no context of what you are talking about.

    We do know 7000 hours is a huge overestimate.

  • I found out that on some devices pixel reading from Drawing Canvas snapshot for player camera Z doesn’t work properly.

    You mean the rgb data?

    The values between browsers can vary a fair amount unfortunately.

    Probably the same for gpu hardware as well.

  • They don't have to be displayed. You can make them initially transparent in preferences, or just destroy them at the start of the layout.

    Again they don't have to be in the layout, but they should be in a layout somewhere.

  • That's how you set the objects preferences. That way you can have different preferences in different layouts. If you don't want it in the layout you have to make a repository layout somewhere, if you wish to set up its preferences.

  • There's at least three on Xbox Gamepass. There might be more but the stigma you're contributing to makes publishers a bit twitchy about sharing that.

  • Well the forum doesn't say what Scirra can do.

  • We're not intending to sell anything we make in Construct. Do we still need a Business license?

    Yes. Whatever you're using Construct 3 for in your organisation you need a Business license. Even if you're not intending to monetise your creations, you must still buy a Business license.

    The business page say otherwise.
