In regards to RPG making, it isn't all that hard. I'd says it's more tedious. However, if you commit yourself, you can make something better than in RPG Maker. Especially real-time RPG like Star Ocean or the Tales series. In fact, the Tales battle system is really a fighting system with rpg elements. You can event do air combs.=P

I don't see how a shader could do this. I'm pretty sure it's not possible.

Use a canvas instead.

-create a full layout canvas, shouldn't impact performance at all in a fighting game with a tiny layout.

-create a full screen object with erase, set it to 20% or so

-always paste the erase object into the canvas so it is constantly fading away whatever has been pasted into it.

intermittently paste the sprite when the effect is needed, the opacity of the sprite should be adjusted to 50% right before the paste, and readjusted to normal right after(the opacity tweak may not work if the paste action waits until the end of the frame, but i'm pretty sure it will work.).

What about a bigger layout?

If you played fighting games, you'd know what they are. Anyway, basically it's a trail that mimics the sprite in a delay.

I would like too see a afterimage shader. I know you can do it using events, but I think a shader would be better.

Yes exactly. Thank you very much!

Well, actually, It would be it it was center point to center point.

Something like this. The laser would move stay at the center of the two laser makers.

I actually can help with that.

How would I go about doing this in Construct?

Construct still has the odd screen draw bug/error. When I'm running the game. The sprites looks deformed or appears to cutting...

Sup Shiru It's nae=P.

I'd like to see Pixel collision for the physics engine.

Thank you!

I'm actually talking about editing the controls in real time. Like a a in-game Control/Key configuration.
