  • awesome. thanks pedroRocha! both suggestions worked.

    and as for the third thing oh well. it was going to be a cool feature. But I can get the core game done without. I was hoping to be able to have things like sticking to walls. But I can pull of the idea in a top down perspective

    Thanks again!

  • a few questions.

    1: my model seems to be inverted on the y(up-down) axis. But I turned off collider fit.

    2: how can I turn off all shadow casting? What I mean is one side of my object is dark, but I want even lighting on all sides.

    3: is there a way I can have 2 objects touch and pull the UV data from that? my idea is having a player's ability's change depending on what color the ground is. I hope to pick the UV cord were the player is standing and cross reference that to the floors texture.

    thanks much.

  • Awesome! that worked like a charm! Thanks!

  • Is there anyway I can save the paster object unto an image? My idea is to use this with the Q3d plug in to draw on 3d objects. But I would need to be able to edit a texture to do so. Or so I think.

    q3d lets you re-texture an object with a preloaded image. My hope is that I can edit an image with paster and then load it in q3d

  • [quote:1y63jp7p]however having to many of those bullet holes may drop FPS in future gamepla

    That is why I would like to draw them to the object's texture directly. I'm hoping to make a system that finds xyz cords and then pastes a sprite unto the objects texture at those cords.

  • Is there a way I can "draw" on an object? I want bullets when impacting the level to leave marks. However instead of leaving a decal on the wall I would like to draw the decal on it permanently. This way they won't fade.

    oh that second one is a good idea. I might try that. thanks!

  • mmm. that worked. Guess I will just have to know what sprite it's referencing. and use separate events for the pinning. Thanks.

  • the player will use the same sprites as NPCs. So I make the NPC family do it's own thing, except for the one that the player will control. one at random will become the player object though variables that state such to the game.

    I have one of each on the layout and destroy them at the start, then spawn them in a "repeat nth times" event. then when the hitbox (being in the same container as each sprite) is created I pin it in it's creation event.

    Due to my project using plugin's covered under ULAs, I can't share the Capax. But I hope this photo showing the "at start of layout" event will show whats needed.

  • Hey. I know a lot of people ask for this. I'm not asking for it to be feature as I know Ash said it would be complex and impact performance. I just want to know what to do.

    When I started my project I had one sprite for the player. I added a new sprite to it's container that I use for it's hitbox. When it is created I pined it to the player. and it worked fine. But then I changed the player sprite to a family because I would want to use different sprites for the player at different times, but would not want to copy the code. But now the hitbox object won't pin.

    Ideas?

    Thanks.

  • ah both are fine answers. thank you!

  • Hello. I want to add a way for players to add a name to there character. thing is my game supports Controllers, and I want to let them inter there name at the same time(not using a keyboard). I'm thinking the classic style we all know from arcades were you scroll up and down until you have your letter, then hit "A" to select, then move to the next letter.

    Sound simple right? Thing is I don't know how to pull letters like that. how it worked in my head was to hold a letter in an array. And if they press up or down to then replace the letter with the one above or below it. I figured to do that i would need the letters numerical value (a=1,b=2.ect) and to then increase or decrease it and reset it to one if it surpasses 26. But I can't think of a way to do this

    So I guess my question is how do I convert a number to a letter?

    Thanks
