  Wall climbing?

  If so that's not a regular part to the Platformer behavior.

  Best bet would be to make an example with the code you're using and post it.

  Otherwise the rule of thumb is that if the player speed(pps) is greater than the size of the obstacle, then skipping is going to happen eventually.

  C3 is WebGl only, so I guess if the game runs effects are supported.

  Ahh, I hadn't thought of that.

  Thanks!

  Always gets me in the end.

  Object indexing, where you can refer to specific indices supposedly agnostic to picking does not seem to work as expected.

  For example if try to get the distance from the first instance sprite(0).x, sprite(0).y, and the last instance sprite(sprite.count).x, sprite(sprite.count).x : distance(Sprite(0).X,Sprite(0).Y,Sprite(Sprite.Count).X,Sprite(Sprite.Count).Y)

  It returns zero.

  If I set the first reference to 1 it returns the distance between the two objects, but does not change when you add instances which should be referenced by sprite.count

  Has something changed?

  That's what the export does. It's not human readable however.

  I leave it to you to figure out all the logic.

  Connect the dots, la la la la~

  Sprite mesh.

  No idea if we have hooks for timelines.

  If you want to use expressions tokenAt() is quite capable.

  You can even keep your strings in variables, although that may not be great if there's a large amount of text.

  I would suggest writing out all the text yourself in notepad. That will get you closer to knowing how you want it to work than a tutorial.

  Start the editor. Make a new project. Download the icons.

  Then see where it says learn at the top of this page.

  Do the beginners guide from the editor first though.

  A tilemap should be used for things that tile.

  Remember that it's one atlus of objects in one texture, that usually covers the entire layout.

  So you save cpu, and gpu by having one static thing that takes up a set amount of ram.

  Multiple different Tilemap objects lower those ram savings.

  Multiple objects work the same way.

  A layout full of instances is not an issue, unless they are moving.

  Also it looks like you have a lot of wasted space. Tilemaps usually have objects close together as in a minimum of 1 pixel apart to maximise ram saving.

  You usually have to do that manually.

  You might be better off using different objects for things like rocks.

  Tile Maps generally imply that you would have contiguous tiles.
