  • signaljacker - Did that, actually. And yup, there they are. Problem is that the effects, such as the vignette, cover up too much of the HUD layer. Put it on any layer, actually, does not result in anything or the effect is limited to just the objects on that layer. No amount of normal or alternate blending modes makes any significant difference or yield the desired result.

  • Asmodean - Thank you for that. I set it up as you said and the result is the text displaying "canvas2d". I presume this means everything's working. I doubled checked the chrome://flags anyway, and confirmed that my computer is set up to override the software rendering list. The effects work on the mobile version when I use remote preview, but the effects do not load when I preview it on my computer.

  • — kindly suggested several effects I try out for my game to try to recreate the image of the GameBoy screen from back in the day...

    However, after applying any effect to the layout, while it shows up in the editor, it does not show up when I start a preview of the game.

    I'm using Google Chrome (everything is up to date and I'm using the latest beta, #103). Though my computer is probably to blame as it's around 4+ years old and does not have a dedicated graphics card. I also have not been able to further update graphics drivers.

    I'm more-or-less naive or ignorant about the finer points of graphics and computers inner workings, but any suggestions or input would be greatly appreciated. Any thoughts? Thank you, all!

  • No...no, they're showing up...Kinda. But I put them on the top-most layer but nothing is showing up clearly... Got some more messing around to do.

  • ...Turns out my computer just doesn't like effects. I can't get them to display in the editor nor in the preview/test.

  • — - WONDERFUL! Thank you so much! I will give those a try and see how things turn out.

    I'll let you know the results.

  • I'm working on a mobile game which uses the Nintendo GameBoy's (mostly) monochromatic green palette. With today's high-end computers and cell phones, motion blur on a screen basically is nonexistent and has to be forced if it's a desired effect.

    And that's actually what I'm after. While I'm not seeking a 100% faithful rendering of the GB screen effect, I would like to simulate it to a degree. I was hoping someone could make some suggestions or point me in the direction of one of C3's features to render this effect in-game.

    Thank you in advance for your feedback and help!

    God bless

    (Attached photo is an example of the WIP graphics. Still much to edit.)

  • Ashley, have you SEEN this?!

    fisholith has been BUSY!!!

    I wonder if you can incorporate his work into future updates in C3 somehow...

  • Thank you Ashley and — This problem JUST came up suddenly for me, too.

  • GameeApp - WHOOPS! Sorry about that.

  • GameeApp - Unless I just completely MISSED it, you may want to clarify that with the new addon (2.0) you just released, users will need to FIRST remove the old version, restart C3, then add the new one. I had trouble at first with that... Just in case it's not as evident to some people.

  • After a longshot whim, I changed the LOS cone to 2* instead of 1. PROBLEM SOLVED!

    Thank you to anyone who took the time to read my (clearly) long post and who was willing to try to offer help! But I think I got it now.

    If you see any suggestions, though, to help improve what I have here, PLEASE, I could use all the help I can get!

  • C3 game file

    In my game, enemies move around, advancing 24 pixels up, down, left, or right (all movement and character and level design is regulated to this "grid"). During each move segment, it will move a certain number of 24x24 blocks (Pathfinding is not used). Contained with each enemy are four sprites - I call them "MoveChecks" - that represent one of those four directions. MoveChecks also hold the Line Of Sight behavior with a 1* cone which faces one of the four directions.

    I'm using the MoveTo addon behavior, but even when the enemy moves exactly side-by-side to a solid wall object (no overlap), it causes the enemy to stop even though there's no direct collision. So the MoveCheck objects check if they are overlapping a wall and prevent further movement in that direction.

    When a MoveCheck catches sight of the main character, Buster, it is supposed to charge ahead in that direction (later I will restrict LOS to only the direction the enemy is facing).

    If Buster is more than a single block away and the enemy moves into the same row or column (establishing LOS), then the enemy moves quickly in the direction of Buster.

    However, if Buster is exactly one square away to an enemy's corner (ie: top-left) - so, 24-pixels up and 24-pixels left - and the enemy moves up or to the left so to be in direct linear alignment with Buster, the state of the enemy will change to its proper "Attack" state, but won't actually charge in the proper direction until it is one cell father in the direction it was moving when it first caught LOS of Buster.

    So if the enemy is moving to the left and is DIRECTLY below Buster, establishing LOS, it will continue to move one more cell to the left THEN dash upwards towards (rather, PAST) Buster.

    I have tried adjusting the Pin position of my MoveCheck objects relative to the enemy they're contained with. I've resized them. But this is the one issue I cannot overcome. It works EXCEPT for close proximity. I have a feeling that it has to do with how LOS behavior checks for actual LOS of an object but I'm not sure.

    Can someone please examine my event lines and help me identify (or even solve) the problem area?

    Thank you so much. (And sorry for the lengthy explanation. I was trying to make the case understandable.)

  • Asmodean - AH! Thank you for the confirmation. Greatly appreciated.

    Have a great day!
