yeah bump....can you fix the broken links?

wow jaw dropps....

googles definition of awesome to see if its good enough a word as a adjective for this thing

thats simply incredible....amazing .....

been looking at that on my page for about 20 min now

awesome stuff...so complex...

high definition is crazy good

BUMP THIS THREAD

of course it would/should be possible

but yeah complex stuff

look at the source code

https://github.com/haxiomic/GPU-Fluid-Experiments

and see whats there if its adaptable to C2

im sure someone who knew how would probably take a crack at it sooner or later

as for me...well beyond my pay grade <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz">

jimutt.......You are most welcome ..hope it works out

First of all ...there are so many ways to do this...

the fastest way would be to just add the pathfinding behaviour to your player and use that..

making sure that you add out all of the walls etc as obstacles

but because this may not look right..your player would in some places..take the shortest route ..which may mean 'FLYING' in places they shouldnt

to solve this if and only if it suits your game

you would create a maze of blocking sprites that are invisible at run time.

making sure that your character fits between the maze walls as required with no room for "flying"

and of course you would still have to change animations when the player reaches a ladder but this should be easy and not affect the pathfinding at all ..because its just animations not mechanics

one other way could be to mod a platformer sprite and add pathfinding behavior to another object that the platformer 'follows'

basically using the pathfinding object to find the path or waypoints then make the platformer follow the pathfinding objects x po

and if and when the pathfinder moves up or down a floor level..then and only then does the platformer climb

you would need to create a sprite with 'PATHFINDING BEHAVIOUR'

you may as well use the built in features..there is no reason why you cant modify its usage to suit your game

then secondly make your Player controller sprite and add a 'platformer' behaviour or custom movement ( based on your layout above you seem to require this..not 8dir)

the movement speeds of each should be the same for each object so that they cant get away from each other

you could even get the path finding object to spawn waypoint sprites which either drop to the floor or spawn at a fixed height depending on which floor the pathfinder object is currently on and spawn every second or so..

which the platformer then moves to these objects waypoints

these are just some ways...that use the built in pathfinding...

just mod it to suit your needs

its a pretty robust behaviour like all c2 behaviors there is alot more ways to use them than you might think

be flexible...let your mind flow with ideas...do lots of tests/experiments..you will see so many other ways

one of the will suit your game perfectly

hope that helps

You are welcome...etaprime

of course its just a teeny fix...you may want to play around with it to see what it does...

I also expanded the size of the layout and i think i set unbounded scrolling to "yes" because it may help

hey etaprime

had a quick look at your capx..

the main issue i can see with the scrolling issue is your events in the scroll group

using the viewport as the base is restricting the scroll...because even though the layout is bigger..the viewport size is fixed..

so if you use that value ..it will always stop at the viewport x distance and go no further

does that make sense?

tried a little fix for the scrolling in your capx and commented my changes...

the spawning issue is more complex because based on what I can see...you want different distances between each spawned ground block

you would need to alter the spawning to take into consideration the position of the last ground block and a random range of values to add to the new x spawn position.

I didnt change this because you may have other ideas for generating distances (a formula of increases perhaps)

hope that helps alittle

you dont have to do that..

there is always a simpler way,

use helper sprites

most game devs use helper sprites to show what the player is looking at during run time

you can set the opacity of a helper FOV cone to zero

heres a capx to illustrate what I mean...you can change it to suit your needs

https://www.dropbox.com/s/tvr5ucp9124iut2/FOV%20%26%20LOS.capx?dl=0

there are hundreds of applications of this idea ..

hope it helps somehow

we would need to see your events to see what problem is

can you post a screenie or capx of your events

This is a very vague question JeonCrack..

You need to explain what you need in more detail

before anyone can answer it properly

Katala ...thats awesome

The good thing about 'unfinished' things is that are full of great new ideas and inspiration for new ways to do things

even the world is in a state of perpetual 'unfinished-ness'

thats what makes it so beautiful

Is it possible to Minimise the Collision mesh of the object on the layer below....I would say if you could...that might help...

If you can flatter your base layer to a singular object ..you may have no collision

Other wise ..we would need to see your capx to see exactly what is going on

hope that helps
