  • It does add up in processing tho.

  • Yes, but what about for x = -100 to 0 step 5?

    Could we do that too?

  • Without downloading the cap....

    I'd say how wide is the text box?

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Don't forget step.

  • secondededed

    A check box for ascending/ descending, or even a flag on a for loop would be awesome.

  • Lib for vector animation.

  • Platform behavior should work.

    Works quite well actually.

    Just use a start of layout to set user input ignored.

    And set the attribute solid.

  • It helps to not think of it as coding, for me its more like thinking of it as an idea, or mental construct.

    What you needed was a graduated timer, and lerp does that, among many other things.

    So basically all your doing is saying I'm going to put a graduated timer in here, and input the values I want to use.

    Or perhaps you could even think of it as a plugin, within a plugin.

    The nice thing about Construct is that, that's exactly how it's set up. It can handle all the syntax for you, and it gives you a list via the user interface of all the possibilities.

    Think of it like a WYSIWYG, but instead of what you see, its what you think.

    Check out the Wiki, there's a list of all the expressions, and luckily if you have any questions you can ask here.

  • Wut?

    Anyway, you'll need a card that does at least 3.0 shaders to do all the existing fx.

  • Well you dont have to set all colors at the same time, but to set them separately you'll need multiple variables.

    rgb(lerp(r+variablea,255,1-0.5^timedelta),lerp(g+variableb,255,1-0.05^timedelta),lerp(b+variablec,255,1-0.5^timedelta)

    add to variablea 0.5

    add to variableb 1.5

    add to variablec 0.05

    And you can also vary the timing on the timedelta multiplier.

  • If you right click on the part that lets you set the color you will get a context menu asking "use expression.

    You can click that, and in the in the box put the expression rgb(r,g,b) with the r,g,and b in parenthesis set to your color.

    After that you'll need a counter something like:

    rgb(r+variable,g+variable,b+variable)

    add 1 to variable

    You'll want to add to the values as rgb(255,255,255) equals white, and rgb(0,0,0) equals black.

  • Actually, you should update the drivers first.

    No point in uninstalling, and reinstalling stuff till your sure your up to date.

  • I'll probably regret this..

    This capx shows why the Light Saber Whip never really took off.

  • Keep in mind there were a lot of issues in C0.x where people checked "enable scripting".

    Obfuscating it like this defiantly would keep that from happening here.

    Perhaps a separate dev version would be a better option.

    Or even have stable versions with it enabled, and test versions disabled?

  • The format for svg is almost the same as xml, so as far as paths go it shouldn't be a big jump to create a <canvas> exporter.

    It would be fairly efficient to convert the svg data to something canvas can use, and store that in the .js or another .js.

    Then again getting collision detection, and animating those images would be another kettle of fish.
