I hope it gets added to construct because it will open up another genre of game that i don't think you can currently do at the moment.

Device name: NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT (laptop)

Pixel shader: 3

Estimated VRAM: 1774 MB

Motion blur: Yes

Care to post a simple example please?

I think a big problem is the collision detection of it. It can't move inbeteen 2 squares, it seems to need double the size, or it tries to go around.

Theres also the turning radious values which is a problem, as well as having to have an accel and decel speeds, i think that messes up the stopping point.

Can we please have a dedicated turn based pathfinding solution.

I'd like to make games like Battle for Wesnoth - http://www.wesnoth.org/, or Advance Wars, which just doesnt seem possible with RTS pathfinding.

The pathfinding needs to be contained to a grid or squares with modifiers etc. It's a different setup and requirments than RTS.

Thanks.

is it possible yet to do grid based pathfinding movements, or do we have to do the workaround jewsen describes?

aww, they've all been deleted.

Funnily enough both these questions have already been asked, by me! Do a search.

Pathfinding: Apparently Ashley is going to add the ability to get info on the cell squares used by the pathfinding engine, so it should make grid movements possible.

Softbody physics: Requires polygons and being able to manipulate vertex points at runtime. This may happen, but only in the future after version 1 is released.

Maybe post a another thread at the top and make it a sticky with the title telling people to use Mediafire or something for their large files.

I like mediafire, it easy to use, you don;t have to sign up, no popups and it gives you the url to paste afterwrds.

Wow that's really good. Too bad it's not the official construct front page.

Could you not use "for each" condition?

If you need to pick a specific object out of duplicates then you could use fast loops.

Give each duplicate a unique number, then use this number in conjunction with a fastloop to pick the object, eg.

Always > spread value 0 in private variables

Always > start loop "my loop"(get number of objects to loop for)

onloop "my loop"

+private variable = (which ever object you want to select) > do stuff

or to control them all with fastloops,

onloop "my loop"

+private variable = loop index "my loop" > do stuff

What about people who don't have english as their first language?

Also just because you don't understand technology doesnt mean you're dumb. They might not know what directX is or a dll.

I like CaptainOblivious's message the best.
