Isometric(or 3/4 view) is what games like Jagged Alliance 2, Baldur's Gate, Commandos, Arcanum, Diablo, etc. use. It's a way of adding a bit of depth to 2D. As such, sprites are typically done in eight facings(or five and mirroring three but that results in other problems). Just angling the sprite would make it look like the player is falling over. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" />

Create each angle you need, then use the suggested command.

Obviously you don't want to rotate the sprite, just set it to the angles you make before hand.

I already mentioned Paper Mario but i'll mention it again because it's an amazing example of a 2.5D game <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" />.

That's all I am hoping for. More 3D options within the 2D scape.

Attan: I disagree 100%. We already have several 2D gamemakers to choose from. Anything to set Construct AHEAD should be added.

Ashley: You are mostly correct, it is just for FPS games. However, they have stated in their forums they intend to open things to more genres, which they have already experimented with T3DGM.

Definately tough to do right. I just hope someday, we have such a product <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" />

timtim: And where did I suggest that Ashley stated it was impossible? I didn't.

I'm simply saying, that software already exists where if someone was creative enough and knew some programming, they could create an amazing FPS with such a program.

You are only limited by your creativity.

EDIT: I should add I really like Construct. Don't get me wrong.

berserk: I was responding more to the fact that Ashley seems to think it would be too much of a stretch to have a 3D WYSIWYG program that can compete visually and otherwise, with modern games.

FPSC X10 is ample proof of such a concept.

This isn't the only reason I hesitate to move further in to 3D - it's a nice rosy idea that it could one day be possible to make impressive 3D first person shooters as easily and flexibly as Construct - but there are significant or even prohibitive technical and design challenges to get around. It's simply out of scope right now.

Out of scope?

Looks pretty darn competative to me. DX10 and all.

Please drop by, we aim to post all our Construct work here too

You mean ... the Creations and Help forums HERE aren't enough?

So yeah, we'll finish Construct first before anything like that. The 3D box object does, however, prove the concept that it can be done.

Wouldn't hurt to add additional shapes, or at least let the box have varied angles for each side. Could definately make use of a triangle or sphere primative.

1. This really isn't needed. Make a new sprite and just import your image. You would save a few seconds with such a feature.

2. Just make a random sprite with a few colors and test them all. Quick way to see what they all do <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" />

Even better <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" />

I've been checking the CVS often.

I'm assuming we'll have to wait until after v1.0 to get these, but I thought I'd check since you seem to find time to upload updated plugins before a new version.
