  • I drew the lines in black, flood filled the areas to erase in black as well then flood filled with transparent.

  • For more planets change the "every tick" to "for each planet" and add another "every tick" event below and move the "set position" action to that.

    To make it work with the bullet behavior you'll have to covert the speed and angle of motion to vx and vy in an "every tick" before the events and back at the end of the events. Also the "set position" can be removed and the overlap and bounce event should be either before or after the events.

    Here are the conversion formulas:

    Vx=speed*cos(angle of motion)

    Vy=speed*sin(angle of motion)

    And

    Speed=distance(0,0,vx,vy)

    Angle of motion=angle(0,0,vx,vy)

  • You can, but it's mainly up to you to make the pieces.

    My workflow:

    1. clone the object that I want to fracture.

    2. open the image editor and draw lines on it to split it up into parts.

    3. duplicate that frame for every part.

    4. Then I edit each duplicate frame and erase each other part off the image.

    5. Adjust the collision polygons and crop. (don't touch the origin point)

    6. After that I had to click the Make 1:1 to fix the scale.

  • Here is a way to do it very smooth, although not terribly useful in your case.

    For your idea just break it down into smaller problems.

    * For any given pipe section you need a way to find connected pipes. My capx did it by storing the uids, but you'll probably want to do it with an overlap check since you'll be adding sections when the game is running.

    *After that the filling is much easier. You can do a method like I did or just make an animation for each section of the pipe filling from either direction. Then starting with some pipe, set it to fill. When it's full start filling the connected section.

    You could use the canvas for that. You want to be able to change the tile graphics at runtime right?

    One thing to keep in mind is you should only have only one canvas instance per texture to save vram and just position and paste into every location.

    The "paste" action already does the relevant calculations so the pasted object at the correct location on the canvas. As far as seams, if they show up you could make the tiles slightly bigger so they overlap a bit.

    For performance the tilemap object would be the best way to go, but you do get more flexibility using the canvas.

  • Here is an example of an orbit based on Newton's law of universal gravitation.

    Basically it means that the velocity of the moon is taken into consideration.

  • If your graphics card supports a texture of that size and it has the available vram, then yes it should work.

    You can't change the collision polygon with this. It is possible to do per-pixel collisions by accessing the pixel data, although it is pretty slow. It doesn't work with polygon collisions so other work would be needed to make them work together. There is an example on the forum of per-pixel collision that uses the tilemap object with 1x1 tiles. It still is a bit slow but it does work with polygon collisions.

    For the first part you can split it up by pasting the larger canvas onto a smaller one. If you resize the canvas objects in the event sheet you may also need to use the "resize canvas" action to change the canvas' texture size as well.

    For the second part, yes the canvas object should be drawn.

  • There's just the plugin's forum topic currently.

  • I fail to see how it's like spaghetti however after re-reading your op I also see I missed some details.

  • I'd like to point out that the hash plugin jayderyu mentions wasn't made by me. On another note, Yann has made a json plugin that may be useful.
