Problem Description

The shadow light object casts a non infinite shadow when height = 0, and the shadow also scales with the window in relation between the distance between the shadow light and the shadow caster

Attach a Capx

ge.tt/4dgFRkm2

Description of Capx

Its avaible for 30 days, the capx shows how the light, with a height of 200, casts a shadow only up do a certain shadow length, it also casts the shadow up to a certain part of the window, so if the shadow covers 1/3 of the window, when zooming out it will cover the same ammount of window

Steps to Reproduce Bug

• preview the capx on any browser
• it adds height to the wall every tick, just sit and watch
• if you press A it will zoom out, you will see how the shadow length is measured in % of the screen and not in pixels

Observed Result

the shadow will not go beyond a certain point no matter the height, it can be patched by not letting the light get close to the wall, but its not a fix to the problem

Expected Result

with height 0 the shadow should go, at least, further away than the window, Im not sure if the shadow being cast according to how much of the window covers rather than how many pixels was intentional, but imo it shouldnt work like that? like this, the shadow light and caster combo dont work correctly

Thanks ashley, what about the free license, the 100 event limit is still there? or are there different/new restrictions?

are the full changenotes somewhere to be found? or do we have to ask in the forum?

Im finding it a real nuisance that I cant just copy paste sprites from paint.net to C3

also, whats are the limitations with C3 free license? Im a student so I cant really pay for 100$ a year, thats a lot in my country, so I have to stick to the free license, wish I could get more than 100 events tho

the problem wasnt the parallax, just the layer, dunno why it happened but changing it from background layer to MC layer and sending to bottom fixed it, it also fixed the pixel stars, It is a ludum dare (was) so I cant give full quality on everything from scratch, anyways, thanks a lot, those were the problems

bleh

it aint, I already checked, Im not so new to c2, and the background is still a problem, it wiggles and giggles, and it isnt moving or rotating, its changing its shape

Im having 2 problems out of the blue

remove smilies

when I right click target sprite is spawned with a weird offset, looks visually wrong

when the camera moves the background starts giggling and messing itself up, whats wrong with this?

too bad that I couldnt finish the game before ludum dare 38 finished :c

yeah, I give up, tilemap with shade caster is too flawed to use, Ill have to use big ass squares for it to work properly

I know it works like that, but Im looking for a smooth shadow with tilemap, and it seems its not possible, no one knows how to bypass the small space between tiles?

htt #p://ge #.tt/81I #zMhj #2

capx file, remove the space and # and you have the link

Im making a game that uses tilemaps for the walls, if you guys go, make a tilemap, give it the shadow caster property and make a fine 8*(8*x) line and put a light next to it, it will look fine, but if you give it a 1 radius, you can see how the light is going through the small spaces between tile and tile, it gets worse the bigger the radius

is there a better solution than using one long rectangle to block light or copy/paste the shadow caster tilemap and move it 1pix to the left and up?

I dont know, I would like for it to have no rotation but animation change, like giving the enemy 5 lines, when the player overlaps one of those line he will change animation to an animation where he aim towards the end of the line and shoots, since the player is touching that line the bullet will touch there, Its kind of complicated, and the mechanic goes more than there, the idea is that he only sees to straight 2 sides, that means 32 pixel behind him and 160 pixels in front of him, in 2 cones of 10°, the other 3 cones that are the diagonal cones and upwards cone are inactive so it wont trigger an alarm,

any ideas for making this? besides using an event that goes ''Enemy>on collision with sightcone = sightcone > pin to enemy" and ''enemy > is on screen = spawn 5 sightcone'' because I dont own c2 so Im really limited with everything
