Tylermon - I don't believe that's making it specific, it should be the default movement. Also, you can shut off rotating the sprite.

R0J0hound - Thanks Ill check that out tonight.

Ribis - Yes, as stated in the OP the behavior does work well, but sliding against angled walls seems like it should be part of the behavior similar to how the platform movement deals with slopes without extra code. The Platform Behavior has received many improvements to increase it's usability but 8 Direction hasn't gotten much attention.

I’d like to request an update to the 8 Direction Behavior and collisions. The behavior works well when colliding with 90 degree angled solids, but really fails when dealing with off angle solids. Here is an example:

When hitting an angled solid, the movement just stops. Here's how I think it should work:

The object should move with the angled solid until it hits an angle limit - probably anything > 45 degrees. I feel like this update would make the 8 Direction Behavior act more like professional games with top down movement.

And here is a capx to save some time in setting up a test:

Still would love to have this functionality. Based on the response to this thread though, it's probably low on their to-do list.

Node-Webkit doesn't fix the issue. Putting a simple 1 frame sprite with platform behavior and running back and forth causes random jitter. Tested on multiple PCs.

We differ from the Assassins Creed dev because they chose not to fix the issues. We have to wait for a possible fix from a third party.

I'll wait and see what happens, but I'll be checking out Stencyl in the meantime. It's tough to wait for a fix that might never come while another engine runs high res games perfectly right now.

So, just to be clear, to fix this we are depending on browser makers? Has there been a response from them and does it seem like it's a priority? The jerkiness is really a deal breaker for me even though I am a huge fan of Construct.

I just played the beta for a Stencyl game called Ghost song. It runs incredibly smooth with a res of at least 720p if not higher. I really don't want to learn a new program, so if this seems like it will be fixed in a reasonable time, I'd be happy to stick with Construct.

Fimbul I originally tried that and it does kind of work. Though like you said, you have to place the light way far outside the layout, which is kind of messy and also makes me wonder if its very resource intensive to have to calculate a light that far away. Not sure on that...Thanks though!

eli0s Thanks for the capx! I'll try that out tonight.

Just played around with the shadow object and wanted to add some feature requests. I don't think I saw these on here.

1) Falloff Distance. It would be great if the light object could have a distance set to where it no longer casts shadows on objects outside of that distance.

2) Directional Light. I would like a light to mimic light from the sun, so that all shadows go in the same direction.

Great effect! Animmaniac is there a way to get transparency in addition to the effect? For example, water that you can see through? I tried changing the opacity of the layer, but that only affects the edges of the effect.

Any chance Google Cardboard can be supported? http://vr.chromeexperiments.com/

QuaziGNRLnose I am very interested in this plugin. However, I do have a question. Can a sprite be drawn in the 3d scene? As it's described, "Overlay the 3D canvas with 2D elements like text and sprites." it seems like you can't and the sprites will just be drawn on top. So is it possible to create a 3d level with 2d characters in it? The functionality I'm looking for is similar to Construct Classic's implementation.

Edit: I think I found the answer, you need two 3d canvases and a 2d one in the middle so they can't actually interact.

rozpustelnik thanks. It's just me working on the game. However I had to stop development on it because my current job has a non compete agreement.
