  • And more issues. This time with shadow colour.

    Edit. PS: I get now that shadow colour is set from 0 to 1, right? Would be much better as standard RGB, then I can copy colour from my graphics.

    Made a video for you with some shadow issues.

  • R0J0hound Cool. Maybe you could create those features as addon plugins to your 3d plugin? Would that maybe minimise chances of breaking projects?

  • So as I said earlier, plug-in is great. But, and it is a request, it really needs few extra addons: raycasting and shader support. One of the reasons for raycasting is testing for collision with poly's of something like an uneven terrain (unless there is another way to do that?). And shaders to enhance or generate textures or alter meshes or be used as a full texture replacement. Complementary lights would be welcome too. But it's the raycasting that is important to me more at this particular moment, and is critical to my project. Best.

  • R0J0hound Got it to work! Not sure if it's best way, but it's working. Maybe I could make it bit smoother. Should I use Lerp?

    Also, to my understaing vector Z is the pointing vetor of the camera in that setting, correct? What orientation from the list it is: XZ, YZ, ZZ, ZX, ZY? Thanks!

  • R0J0hound I can't get this to work. I did exactly the same thing before actually, but with two rotation events using gamepadaxis for x and y rotation, but either there is a bug that causes camera to go off balance, or I'm doing something wrong. I just need standard fps camera with free view and ability to play with gamepad and mouse/kb and can't figure it out. In q3d I had it set like this

    If you could help me out with this, maybe email me m.a.holowkomlz@gmail . com

    There are probably multiple ways but this works:

    set orient to (-90,0,0)

    rotate xrot by axis (0,1,0)

    rotate yrot by axis (1,0,0)

    I found it by trial and error. by default the camera looks into the screen. we rotate by -90 so it's looking up. Then from that viewpoint we can rotate left and right, and finally we rotate again for up and down.

    Thanks a lot. Could you maybe give an example for controler left stick free view?

  • R0J0hound I also tried to stear the head with two events for rotating camera one after another, one for horizontal movement and another one for vertical movement. But results are weird, and camera is changing horizontal angle when turning.

    Can you please show me how to get first person camera working? Would really appreciate it!

  • Could you also help me out with fps movement free look? Left and right head turning works, but can't figure out up and down.

  • Nice. Yes I like it a lot! I like how minimalistic it is, yet all features are there. I like it's in canvas too. One less object to worry about. Thank you!

    I've played with vertexes but still can't get them right. And since I'm forever noob, i don't get it. For a moment I had this idea, to use those verts in creating level editor for that infamous top down editing.

    But I do think, some sort of basic shader support would be really cool. For example, I'm only planning on having few objects for the whole game, just change textures. However If I could copy/paste shader for wall or water from an online library, that would be so much more awesome. And raycasting cause without it objects can move only on flat surfaces, with it can make hills etc You know what I mean?

  • This is fantastic :) I will definitely give it a shot. Seams like it is much more efficient to work with then q3d. I do agree with the addition of blend modes and couple more lights, and raycasting(unless there is an alternative to that)

    Some questions:

    - I would like to know how exactly relto works? if i have two objects: player and camera, if I want camera to be the eyes of the object I just set it's x and z to 0 and specify id of the relative object?

    -Are there 3d particles?

    -How to get animated textures?

    -What does setting rectangle do?

    - I noticed you can create verts and store them as mesh. Is it possible to create plane that would work as a wall for example?

    I also would like to know how it is performing against something like three.js just out of curiosity.

    I'll be researching that myself, but answers are welcome, and an example capx would be even better.

    Best

  • Sure! It has been three years since I looked at it, and don’t currently have a computer that runs Construct 2. My memory might be a little rusty.

    Cool, thx. Mail me: m.a.holowko gmail . com
