  • It only does it for me in the editor. When I preview it looks nice and crisp. Could be a driver issue or just some differences in the way the editor draws and how the browser draws.

    Sorry I can't help with the second issue. My graphics card can't handle that shader.

  • Updated #9:

    Removed beta from name since it's pretty much feature complete.

    Edit:

    Arima linkman2004 or Kyatric

    Could this topic be moved to completed addons?

    Also a collision layers test:

  • Are you sure your posts weren't just moved here?

  • Here's a test that plays a sound when object's collide. The volume varies by how much Kinetic energy is in the hit. You can fiddle with the equation that maps to volume to adjust it. In a similar way I added puffs of dust that spawn at the contacts.

  • It works on any length lines. It just relies on the lines being created in order. Also don't have any other lines off screen. I think I swapped some variable names so it's confusing. You can eliminate the need for variables if you add a imagepoint to the right-center of the line object and do this:

    For each Sprite
For each line
    | compare: line.y>sprite.y != line.ImagePointY(1)>sprite.y
    | sprite: x < (line.ImagePointX(1)-line.x) * (sprite.y-line.y) / (line.ImagePointY(1)-line.y) + line.x

    Well you can capture to a lower resolution image with this:

    You could change the scroll and zoom so what you want to capture covers the screen, and then you can capture a lower res image.

    Or it can be modified to capture an area of a certain size.

    Edit: It wasn't always working with webgl on. The trick is you need the canvas to redraw for it to work. So to get it to redraw you need something moving, and at least one object spinning would do that trick.

    It acts crazy because the joints are pulling the blocks into contact which in turn try to push out of each other. Floating point numbers introduce a tiny bit of error so sometimes the objects won't be in contact but will overlap a little, which causes the fighting. Offsetting the points or polygon is a good solution. I don't think there's anything I can do in the behavior code, it's just how the physics works.

  • You can do it with a z variable that you can think of as the distance into the screen. Then you just change the object's size based on how far into the screen it is to make it seem farther away. Something like set scale to 100/z would work but you can tweak the number. If you want farther away objects to be behind closer ones you could do that with a for each ordered condition.

    Here's a capx I did a while ago that utilizes that effect.

  • Update #8

    +Added world2local and local2world expressions to convert coordinates.

    +Fixed a few typos in the ACEs

    Here's another tweak of your capx using the new conversion expressions. There still is some joint fighting when there is more than 1 joint between two objects that can cause the objects to move on their own.

  • I think a pivot joint would work better than a pin. You can try the "add pivot joint at xy" action with parameters:

    Family2.uid

    Family1.ImagePointX(loopindex("points"))

    Family1.ImagePointY(loopindex("points"))

    Every other joint uses relative locations but that one uses a layout location. I think I'll add a "layout2relative" expression so we can use layout locations for the other joints if needed.

    Also according to the chipmunk forums a good way to join objects together is with two joints, a pivot and a gear joint (with a 1.0 ratio). I modified your capx to do that, also for the gear joint it needs a phase of Family2.Angle-Family1.Angle to keep the angle difference of the objects.
