Haha, I guess I did not find the movement instinctive, because I thought you could not move, I was just doing mouse clicks though, so let me go try again. I didn't make a game, just a little demo, in this demo you do not control trucks/convoy, you must protect it from the drone overwatch. I tried to post a gif it above, but it did not work, so here it is again:

Gorkhs [edit] Tried the controls - not my cup of tea, I think you are trying to match the isometric view, but good old WASD would be more comfortable for me.

C3 Addon Greengrinds

I added a new free C3 addon to support more Greenworks/Steam APIs (Cloud File, Stats, more Achievement, and DLC APIs), with an example project. I needed this for a project I was working on and decided to share in case it helps other folks who also need more APIs beyond the official Greenworks plugin (which you should definitely try out first, in case that's all you need.)

Actions and conditions:

See addon website for more details and documentation. If you see issues please report on the addon's github, so we can track and close: issue list.

Example project (using the test '480' steam_appid.txt for Spacewar.)

Other tools used for this project:

c3IDE - a great IDE for creating C3 Addons

Electron for Construct - Electron for Construct - a great tool to build Electron executables of your game.

Thanks to Construct Discord community for support and testing (InsaneHawk, Armaldio, Piranha305, Chadori, Erigatoshima and others!)

Talking to the rubber duck (or posting to a forum) debugging always works wonders!

Also, nice idea for a transition effect with use gradient and a tween for controlling the cutoff, I hope you post it up to the C3 addons site. I have done things that are similar (but different), for example, see my Alpha Range mask effect here,

GorkhsI checked it out on itch, the truck animation is really nice, fan, reflections, etc. good luck with your project. I was testing out something a little similar, but probably very different gameplay (a drone protecting a truck convoy.)

TheRealDannyyy I'll take a stab at testing out a Mac version.

Check the browser console output for some hints, can you post what you see?

You can get the full firebase rex conversion with C3 support and a lot more plugins from this collection. I have used a subset of the firebase collection in C3 and it's working (mostly just itemtable section.)

— I hope it's working for you now, how about showing some of your results?
Here's an example of some work I did with the effect that I ported from Somebody's work on a C2 version of a normalmap effect.

Read this C2 tutorial (should apply similar to C3). You need to have two sprites, one basemap, and one normal map.

Using the builtin bump map effect is described here:

Go to the '+' icon look to the right panel and click the '3rd party files' tab up top. At the bottom there's button for add/remove files (I think you can also drag/drop.) You can then also right click in the plugin.js edit window to add file dependencies in that file. Though for DOM scripts (I pity you, if you have to deal with DOMside scripts and worker scripts), you need to add those dependencies yourself. Great tool indeed.

Beyond the XML check, here's a funny thing to try:

y = -4.65 + 49.38333*x - 143.5*x^2 + 126.6667*x^3

Y is offset, X is scale.

This is a curve fit to the four points you supplied :) It probably does not work, because it goes negative as you get smaller in X and get very large quickly as you get above 0.5 in X. The fact that you get smaller in offset again implies going over some kind of threshold or wrapping.
