  • About the only way that I can think of to make a fog of war system in the game (not on a minimap) is to use the light/shadow plugin. You could then have everything dark, and the object which is doing the "Seeing" would have a large light caster.

    That's probably about the only way I can think to solve your problem, at least with the information you have given me.

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • Here we go round the merry-go-round, round and round and round and round. xD

    It's good to see fresh life breathed back into the project again. I knew you'd come back and finish this

    Good job mate

  • Looks good to me mate

    If I can hurry up and get my butt in gear, I'll do the first issue of C-zone magazine and do some articles on this stuff, helping to break it down and categorize it all nicely. Hopefully after the Christmas mayhem rush I will be able to sit down and get it done.

    The more of this kind of stuff we can put together, the better this will all be for beginners to Construct, and more importantly, beginners in game development.

  • What do you even need variables for anyway? I vote remove them entirely! It will make construct a smaller download! SAVE THE BANDWIDTH!

  • I assume this awesome bone stuff is really only feasible in platform and top down games?

    I don't see why it wouldn't also work for isometric games as well if that's what you mean. It all depends on how you draw your character and what constraints you put on the bones. Bones are pretty much like a stick man really, and you can make a stick man look like he is facing whichever angle and direction you want depending on how you draw his parts (head mainly).

  • Will try to download later tonight once I get home. I love ninja games

    Linkman + Ninjas = AWESOME

  • Yeah I've had that happen to me before as well... not quite sure how to fix it really... I gave up in the end and made my own particle machine that just generated sprite objects with a behavior.

  • Project is currently on hold.

    Customer may be looking at purchasing a copy of Retail Manager for really cheap... but if he can't get it then I will be pushed back on to this.

    Bit of a bummer really... will be some good money if it goes through. I just have to wait a few days until he gets back to me with a definite "keep going" or "don't worry about it."

    If anything, I learned something and posted a cap that may help others as well

  • Looks cool man, but it still has that wonky cog tooth lol. I like it though, it gives a more 3dish look or something.

    ~Sol

  • Ah OK, well if it's fixed then I'll just wait for the next update and leave my events the way they are... I didn't get a chance to mess with it last night as planned since I had to go get my suit refitted for my friends wedding and didn't end up getting home late.

  • I think the "Folder Dialog: OK" is broken. Just do this:

    +On Button Clicked

    -CommonDialog: Show folder selector

    -Set edit box to CommonDialog.Folder

    The Common Dialog object pauses everything while something is up, so just put the set edit box action right after the show folder selector in the same event. Hope that helps.

    Cheers link, I'll give it a shot as soon as I get home. I'll let you know how it goes down. Thanks for the reply mate.

  • Thanks again guys... but umm... this is ME we are talking about here... I can understand the whole "good choice" thing when talking about deadeye... but I just want to invert your messages, ninja edit your posts, upside-down your avatars, and mirror your sigs...

    Well if you like that sort of thing, then... awesome! Glad to be of service xD

    ~Sol

  • Cheer vinny

    It looks like everyone is safe... for now... I can't play with anyone's personal affects at this stage. Your avatars will remain right side up for now.

  • WHAT THE?

    MY banhammer! It's so.... so.... BIG! *tear*

    Thanks guys! This is a real honour and privilege, and I will abuse it with the best of my ability! Although green is not my favourite colour, I can grow to love it, because green is the colour of many things... such as leprechauns and pea soup, neither of which I like... but, oh well I forgot where I was going with this?

    On a serious note though, cheers guys

    Always happy to help out where I can... even though I didn't think I did all that great of a job to deserve a mod position. Thanks heaps

  • Do you mean see as in, fog of war? Or see as in "detect" things within a certain range?
