  • macube Sorry, did not finish filling in the link! Updated above.

  • Update release 0.0.2.8.

    Added Greenworks DLC ACEs (see github.com/greenheartgames/greenworks/blob/master/docs/dlc.md )

    I am mainly using Electron for Construct to integrate C3 and Greengrinds / Greenworks / Steam into an executable. Electron for Construct also has the side benefit of download and using the appropriate Greenworks binary (*.node file) for the version of Electron you are building for.

    If you need to use a later version of nw.js, you can try replacing the *.node in your output directory/package with one of these that match the version of nw.s you build with. They were built by Armaldio's nice CI build service (if you use them, don't forget to Donate!)

    greenworks-prebuilds.armaldio.xyz

    (Use release 0.2.8 from the above for all of the DLC ACEs to be enabled.)

  • Good question. I guess it's more of an user opinion.

    Right now it basically loads a skeleton and allows you to play an animation and mirror the direction. I think it needs at least one more trigger On Animation Finished or Looped, and then it will have at least basic functionality.

    However, what else would you need, looking at the flyover C2 plugin there's some more ACEs (in particular Events.)

    I suggest trying it out now and give feedback on the plugin github site (e.g. as an issue)

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Congrats on the release! It's so much fun to play with and a ton of great examples.

  • It's by C3 layer and C3 z-order. However, if someone knows how to easily enable the common Z elevation ACEs, I will gladly add them to the ElementQuad plugin also.

  • Some babylon.js 3D render using some simple JS integration with ElementQuad to integrate into C3 render and C3 events (you can put it on different C3 layers, add C3 effects, change size, position, etc. of the rendered 3d image.)

    This is a template which uses C3 JS integration to add Babylon, it's not a Babylon add / plugin. It does use on plugin to show the results:

    construct.net/en/make-games/addons/312/elementquad

    You can also use C3 JS to access/manipulate the Babylon scene/engine, e.g.:

    + System: Every tick

    | Local number alpha‎ = 0

    ----+ (no conditions)

    -----> System: Set alpha to ElementQuad.Sine3.Value

    -----> Run JavaScript:

    scene.activeCamera.alpha = localVars.alpha

    scene.activeCamera.beta = 1.55+localVars.alpha/5

    Babylon Template (requires ElementQuad addon)

    BabylonTemplateLocal.c3p

    Uses local project files for models / glb (works in preview and web)

    babylonjs.com

    Have fun with it...

  • A quick check - do you have worker mode enabled? Sometimes this changes scope available to different scripts.

  • Yes, I thought it might be relative, not absolute.

    You might take a look at this (use JS integration to access it), there are some comments on absolute orientation.

  • I have been using a relative compass heading in C3 for a 360 viewer on mobile.

    You might try and check if it's absolute though (depending on what you need.)

    Check out Touch.Alpha, Beta, Gamma

    construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/plugin-reference/touch

    To convert to a stable compass heading I use JS in a function:

    * On function 'compassHeading'

    * Parameter 'alpha' (Number)

    * Parameter 'beta' (Number)

    * Parameter 'gamma' (Number)

    -> Run JavaScript: 

    var alpha = localVars.alpha;
 var beta = localVars.beta;
 var gamma = localVars.gamma
 // Convert degrees to radians
 var alphaRad = alpha * (Math.PI / 180);
 var betaRad = beta * (Math.PI / 180);
 var gammaRad = gamma * (Math.PI / 180);

 // Calculate equation components
 var cA = Math.cos(alphaRad);
 var sA = Math.sin(alphaRad);
 var cB = Math.cos(betaRad);
 var sB = Math.sin(betaRad);
 var cG = Math.cos(gammaRad);
 var sG = Math.sin(gammaRad);

 // Calculate A, B, C rotation components
 var rA = - cA * sG - sA * sB * cG;
 var rB = - sA * sG + cA * sB * cG;
 var rC = - cB * cG;

 // Calculate compass heading
 var compassHeading = Math.atan(rA/rB);

 // Convert from half unit circle to whole unit circle
 if(rB < 0) {
 compassHeading += Math.PI;
 }else if(rA < 0) {
 compassHeading += 2 * Math.PI;
 }

 // Convert radians to degrees
 compassHeading *= 180 / Math.PI;

 runtime.setReturnValue(compassHeading);

    On iOS 13 you also need to request permissions at least when using Safari. Here's my ugly UI method. If you find a better way, please let me know.

    + System: On start of layout

    + PlatformInfo: Is on mobile

    -> Run JavaScript: 

    // Create the button
var button = document.createElement("button");
button.innerHTML = "Tap to Request Orientation Permission";
button.id = "RequestOrientation"
button.style.position = "relative"
//button.style.left = "50%"
//button.style.right = "50%"
button.style.height = "600px"
button.style.width = "360px"
button.style.fontSize = "xx-large"
// Append 
var body = document.getElementById("fb-root")
// var body = document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0];
body.appendChild(button)
// Add listenr
button.addEventListener ("click",requestT)
 
 function requestT () {
		console.log("***INFO*** RequestingDOE")
		document.getElementById("RequestOrientation").remove()
 	if (typeof(DeviceMotionEvent) !== 'undefined' && typeof(DeviceMotionEvent.requestPermission) === 'function') {
 DeviceMotionEvent.requestPermission()
 .then(response => {
 if (response == 'granted') {
				console.log("***INFO*** DOE Granted")
				runtime.globalVars.requestPermission = true
 	window.addEventListener('devicemotion', (e) => {
 	// do something with e
 	})
 }
 	}
 )
 .catch(console.error)
 }
 }

  • I like the 'cloud' the slots revolve in, very nice. Perhaps you already have it with bigger wins, but the raining down of coins for a win is a traditionally nice slots touch. I'd be interested in how you might do that with this theme...

  • There’s an example project on the github.io site. I can get 60 FPS on iPhone with a number of characters. However fewer characters at 60 FPS with my Moto G6 test phone. Use the latest plugin (1.3.0.)
