  • kriand, You are right, different cell border seems to work. But then it doesn't make sense, since Ashley says there is only one obstacle map in C3. Maybe this is a bug after all?

  • Ashley

    I spent several hours yesterday trying to figure out the problem, so I don't remember exactly what I did to capx file in C3, but at one point it stopped working.

    I tried it again just now -

    capx file in C2 works fine.

    capx file in C3 works fine.

    If I create a new c3p project and copy everything over from capx file - it still works fine.

    But when I re-create the same file in C3 from scratch - it doesn't work.

    So there are definitely inconsistent results...

    Here are two files, they look identical, but if you open both in C3, one works and the other one doesn't:

    dropbox.com/s/7t7fncjm4b9efay/PF_bug_C2.capx

    dropbox.com/s/jvwwadefdy5525x/PF_Bug_C3_fromscratch.c3p

  • Ashley, It definitely works in C2. I made that project in C2, tested to make sure it works, then opened it in C3.

    Is there any workaround to use two obstacles maps? Clear and re-add obstacles between each "Find path" call?

    By the way, do I need to execute "regenerate obstacle map" after "Add obstacle" action?

    EDIT: What if I add two Pathfinding behaviors to the same sprite? They still will be using the same one map?

    EDIT2: This is a very odd limitation. Say, you are making a top-down game with many enemy types. Some enemies can't open doors, others can walk through doors, flying enemy can fly across water, ghost enemies can fly through almost everything.. How do you manage all their pathfinding needs with just one obstacle map?

  • Ashley, Thanks for the quick answer. Then why is it working in C2?

    And what should I do if I need two pathfinding objects with different obstacles?

    PS: Sorry, I logged a bug before I saw your answer here.

  • This is really weird.. I'm not sure if this is a bug or maybe there is some logic to it. See this file:

    dropbox.com/s/gwi3f4i8cerbgpu/PF_bug8.c3p

    For some reason both arrows move the same, although they have different obstacles..

    If you set "Obstacles: Solids" on the green arrow, both arrows move through both boxes! If you delete the green arrow, then the blue arrow begins to move correctly.

  • Your project is quite big and messy, it's hard to find the problem, I can't even reproduce it. Make a small test project and maybe we could help.

    If you are using charm_multiply sprite just for the multiply effect, you can make it square shape. It doesn't need to be the same shape as the original sprite, as soon as they are both on a separate layer and you set "Force own texture=Yes" on the layer.

  • You can use "loopindex" expression in all loops.

    For example:

    for each Sprite -> sprite Set ID to loopindex

    If you have 5 sprite instances, this will set their ID variable to numbers from 0 to 4.

  • oosyrag no, it doesn't.

  • Since you only have one spawner and one timer, with multiple instances of trolls they are restarting the timer all the time.

    You should probably move the Timer behavior to Troll object. When health<=0, instead of destroying this troll, hide it from the screen and start a timer on it for 2 seconds. On timer event, destroy this troll and spawn a new one. Or you can simply move it to spawner position and reset its health (make him alive again).

  • It may be something simple, like the text can not fit into the text box. Try increasing the width and height of characterName and occupyInfo_Cost objects.

    If this doesn't help, add a debug text object to the layout and print debug information into it, for example, "Debug append text array_Character.AsJSON" - you will see if the array actually contains the right data of not.

  • Did you add "Jumpthru" behavior to the table sprite? You can only add "Jumpthru" and remove "Solid".

  • What exactly have you tried? I don't see any attempts in your capx file.

    Taking screenshot is pretty easy and there are lots of examples and tutorials.
