I have a 2D project with world generation on an array, I figured out how to generate the top layer (grass) and bottom layer (dirt) and I want to add water generation.. but I don’t know how to implement it... I need water to appear with sand, that is, to begin with, one layer of sand is generated and on top of the sand there is water, and after that there is earth again... I hope I was able to explain.

How can you make ore generation on the rise?) As I understand it, I need to check the height ( Y ) in the array and create an ore sprite in place of the stone, but when I implement it, nothing happens...

I'm not sure what you mean? It does also depends on your code and weater u are using sprites or tilemap ( you should be using tilemaps), so it's hard to say just like that.

I can't open your prj because I don't have seed plugin,

But you could just randomly spawn water at x, y-1 or more. This will randomly produce a cube above sand. Make sure that you only create tiles if array cell is 0 or less.

but to have a lot of water,

waterSpawn = 0

set waterspawn to choose(0,1)

for 0 to waterSpawn

loopindex = 0 create tile sand at xy

loopindex = 1 create water tile at x, y-1

Hoe you can figure out other things from this example. you can add more loops.

If you want water pool you probably need to first make a random choice, then repeat maxWater times for y - loopindex("maxwater")

For sand above same logic, just more coding.

Wow! You are a lifesaver!! Thanks a lot!!

Since I was looking for effects, I didn't think of looking in the addons subforum...

I didn't even know effects could be packed as addons! I thought addons were only for new behaviors and object types. I always just copied the effect files to Construct's Effects folder, hehe.

Thanks again!

Your welcome!

> > > R0J0hound Hey, i think that the shadow issue in first person is due to camera frustrum making objects behind the camera disappear. Unfortunately it is impossible to set camera near to anything lower than 0.01. Do you think you could this one little tweak? Thx

> Two issue actually: 1. it flickers 2. It shrinks/expands/disappears depending on the viewing angle/ Now I know it is Z axis related. for shadows created at Z close to camera Z it doesn't happen. There's also a possibility that because of two sided mesh it generates two different shadows being casted from two opposing angles.

About the flickering:

I saw that... I didn't test, but I think that if you use rounded rotations it will be 'flikerless', what shadows map configs are you using? I think (3096; Infinty; 0.05) it's pretty good. Also, If you make your game 'higher', I mean, making your player have 300 pixels high instead of 32, for example, it might not even be noticeable.

About the second issue:

What??

But... have you tried moving the light a bit and it's angle, or making the shadows bias higher a little bit?

I'm working on 16x16 3d grid. Can't make it much larger because of floating point error on large layouts ( and I have quite big map ). Can't remember what to bias it is set, something like 0.03 maybe, best I could set. But the borders do flicker pixels. In general I did correct it to max of my possibilities. It would be nice if we could smooth it out.

Re resolution, I had to set it to 8k, otherwise it was pretty bad.

It seems reasonably busy as ever to me. Early January is often a quieter time of year though.

People usually come to the forums when they have a problem. So to some extent, well-designed and easy-to-use software should have a quieter forum, whereas complicated and problematic software would have a lot of people posting!

I can see your point! Btw. Happy New Year!

I'd like to share something with you. I don't want to embarrass you, but some 4 years ago by hand of fate, out of nowhere, I've meet and later worked for 3 years with one of the original clickteam founder and developer, and he told me story about you, that you were a kid genius making the best plugins for MMF and I think for GF. In the way he told me this I could still see his awe towards your talent. But he was also very pissed that you left and started construct ( if I recall from when I joined construct forums, it was about HW ). Funny but he wouldn't even allow me to speak about it, so sometimes when I wanted to tell him something related to construct, I'd have to say something like "you know, in that program that cannot be named ...". hehehe. He was working on new tool at the time, js engine where you use basic, and I saw a huge potential in it, because as mush as I find events simple to work with, the speed of typing something vs speed of adding events is quite big, and I wish there would be construct script, events in scripted form. Also as I'm at it creating 2d and 3d objects from verts and colouring each vert options would be great. That's in ROOJ 3d plugin, and I'm using that atm. And I recently installed CC just to check something from old project, and I got to say, native exporter input snappiness can be felt there, plus some of the solutions seamed bit more useful, then the way they were done in later version. But that's not a request, nor a complain, just something I'd personally would benefit from, as I want to make 3d retro games, but with a bit more graphical variety then just cubes and pyramids as it is in c3, and with a bit more control. That's why I was rooting for his proj, as it was gong to be doing 3d too. But it's not fully there yet, maybe will never be, and it was taken over by rest of his team while he moved on, and I, with new understandings about programming I learned from the man came back to c2 and making in it something very cool.

But yeah, a little intertwined story here.
