I will check that out - thanks, oosyrag!

Hi everyone,

i am working on a 2.5D game in Construct 3 (r285.3) and while i am having a TON of fun doing so - i am experiencing a few issues with 3d shapes and sprites.

A picture says more than a thousand words:

It looks like the transparent areas aren't fully transparent somehow. I tried playing around with various layers and blend modes but (especially) when applying shaders to the scene i get these results. In the above example i tried the exponential fog shader.

WHen i turn it off, everything is fine again.

But even with 50% transparent 3d shapes i have these issues:

So, i would just love to know if i am doing something wrong here? Or is that something that needs to be fixed in the future?

Thanks! <3 Construct 3!

To a Construct Developer: Any chance of this feature coming soon? :-)

I realized you can now adjust the field of view for the 3d Camera in Construct 3.

While you can set it once in the editor - is there also a way to adjust it within the game?

That would be excellent to control the "camera zoom".

Thanks!

SOLVED! I did fix my problem via using another condition upon the firing of the door close timer.

I used a System -> Pick by comparison -> Object: Player, Expression: distance(SlidingDoor.X,SlidingDoor.Y,Player.X,Player.Y), Comparison: > Greater then, Value: 50.

So, whenever the door close timer fires, it will also check if the player is not closer than 50 pixels to that door before actually closing it.

The topic says it all: I can't figure out how to achieve that.

I have multiple Doors in my layout that do open automatically using a coordinate-tween upon collision with the player. That does work great.

Then i use a timer to close that particular door automatically after a couple of seconds.

Now my BIG problem: I don't want it to "crush" the player, should it be within the door's closing range

I know there's the distance expression, and that should do the trick, however, how can i tie that to the door instance that just triggered the last (door open and close) event?

Unfortunately i cannot do System -> Compare two values -> first value -> distance(Self.X, Self.Y, Player.X, Player.Y). That would be so easy. Too easy, maybe.

Am i missing something? Do i really need to store the last door's X and Y globally for that to work? That would surely mess up things with multiple door events within a short timeframe i am afraid.

Can anybody enlighten me? Thanks so much :-)

On bullet collision event picks the family instance for you so you just need an action, set variable to Enemies.myscore

Fantastic, thanks! That did the trick!

I did read more about families and variables, didn't know before that you can have instance variables in families. Great!

Hi everyone!

I am struggling with retrieving an local instance variable, called "myScore" upon a collision of a bullet with that one to add it to a global score display.

What i have so far:

As you can see, i am trying to store the UID of the colliding instance into a local variable to then retrieve the "myScore" instance variable of it.

What am i doing wrong here or what am i missing?

Can anybody enlighten me, please? :-)

Thanks very much!
