I think it’s a bug. Or the very least I think the push out actions can be improved. As is, I don’t find the custom movement behavior useful at all with the current push out actions. The push out nearest action is mainly buggy in that if you move perpendicular to a wall the object will move along the wall when all it should do is stop.

Thank you very much for your support..

then you need to use Platform/8-Direction/Car etc.

This issue of "random teleport" just happen to me with 8dir-behavior too..........

Maybe some "opposite angle" mode is used there too..?

I am very, very tired and sorry

I do not think I'm stupid but not even a professional programmer, but I do not understand how everyone else has been planning games for years on C2 without having noticed these BIG problems that make it impossible to work on something elaborate... and if they were found and the staff knew about it, why they have not been improved and/or solved on all those years of life of C2??

I also had reported anomalies on the 8dir behavior a few months ago and something had improved with new release, but now again......

Really i am very, very tired and sorry now..

Ashley i paid for this tool that has so much potential, but for me it becomes useless if there are still these big flaws, maybe it was better to focus on fix C2 properly instead of spending so much time and energy doing C3..

As far as I'm concerned, at this point, not only C3 is not even remotely in my thoughts, but I would also be tempted to throw away C2 and ask Scirra to be refunded.

Seriously, all this is too much for me

I can not develop ONE single game as i would like, because sistematically I have to bang my head on some big-defects of the tool..

I am very, very tired and sorry, but this is impossible, this is really too much for me.

PS if only these defects were perfect, C2 it would undoubtedly be the best 2D gamedev tool of the world.

It's really a pity, do not fix all this permanently..

No, it does what it supposed to do - if sprite is overlapping a solid, "Opposite" method moves the sprite in the direction opposite to the movement direction, until the sprite no longer overlaps the solid. It's your job not to create such situation when the sprite will be pushed deeper into the wall.

Custom Movement behavior provides very basic "building blocks" for creating your own movement engine. If you want more advanced events, which will automatically prevent collisions, maintain constant speed etc., then you need to use Platform/8-Direction/Car etc.

maybe you're right but im still not much convinced

Hey NN81

I don't think this is a bug.

With "Opposite angle" the object is teleported when you rotate it very close to the wall and its angle of movement is pointing away from the wall. The behavior tries to push the sprite in the opposite direction (because that's how "Opposite angle" method works) and as a result it pushes it deeper and deeper into the wall. And finally it pushes it out at the other side of the wall.

"Nearest" mode works much better if you define correct collision polygon on the sprite. But it can still slow down the sprite, because its purpose is only to prevent overlapping. If you need to maintain constant speed, you will have to do this with events. Or simply use 8-direction

yes but in these cases it should prevent to go deep and stop the sprite, otherwise it would be a "push into solid" and not a "push out"

:( Today is maybe the saddest day for the game, but we all know:

Where something ends, something new begins.

I think you all know what that should mean. The development of Boxtory is now stopped and probably it will never get finished. It would be to much work to bring a first stable version of the game. The time with the game was a incredeble experience for me. I learned a lot not just about making games. I learned a lot about game feeling and so on, too. The thing i enjoyed most is the community aspect behind making a game. I know this game had maybe 3 guys really followed it. But guys like them are so important for making a game. So thank you a lot for investing the time. I know especially for you NN81 its really not cool that i stop making this game because you invested a lot of time into this. But believe me, im even more sad.

If you are interested in the new game idea or the studio, you can follow our newsletter: https://stonepunsh-studio.jimdo.com/newsletter/

I´m glad about every opinion and kind words but also critic. And dont forget guys: Making games is not a hobby, its a passion.

Thank you

hey nevermind, what happened to you is very normal on game developers, especially for those who are starting out, experimenting with styles, genres, developing tools ecc.

it happens to us all but as you said yourself, you have done so much experience and something new will start, then it takes advantage of the experience and go on like this ^^

good luck

Problem Description

Push Out Solid on Custom Movemente Behavior, when overlap a solid wall, work very bad.

Attach a Capx

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1r1bqT ... OpXZxG8mZA

Description of Capx

a simple .capx to test the experienced issue.

Steps to Reproduce Bug

• Move and rotate your sprite with ARROW KEYS along the walls.
• You can change in realtime the "push out solid MODE", between OppositeAngle and Nearest option, by pressing the "M" Key
• Press "R" Key at anytime to restart layout.

Observed Result

With "Opposite Angle" Mode the sprite sometimes are teleport in a X area or simply disappear of the screen..

With "Nearest" Mode the sprite sometimes it slows down, others accelerates abnormally, others even reverses the motion direction..

Expected Result

the sprite should not teleport or disappear or behave abnormally.

have you tried clear browser cache and restart Chrome?

Thank for your help. I have tried but it is still not working (((

try with a clean re-install of chrome or download a portable version and try C3 for there

Hi Guys;

My game have some static scenaries, without no scroll to action.

I was wondering how can I do some camera shake effect, something like [when enemy touch player] > [camera shake].

With scroll to action I know how to do this, but I can't figure out a way to think the effect on static scenaries.

Many tks

you can simulate a shake effect for example by litlle scaling in a background sprite for a couple of seconds and moving some pixels left or right

I open the construct 3 by the chrome but I can not load the editor.

An error text appears with "Error Loading Try Disable add-ons browser..."

I tried to disable add-ons as error text but no effect.

Please help me how to fix this issue. I really feel hopeless with this.

have you tried clear browser cache and restart Chrome?

Hey mate, this worked out! Thanks i appricate it.

Just 1 last thing. How would i show that timer in a text?

for example you can add a Text object, type "60" into text field properties, then add code something like this

Hi,

im trying to create a game, where the player has 60 seconds to complete the layout. If the timer gets to 0 i want that the controls get inverted, therefore right is left and left is right.

I create a global variable of 60, created a tick event where every tick, 1 second is decreased. But im stuck now

can someone help me out? Thanks in advance !

hi, disable movement behavior "default controls" then add a timer behavior (with regular option) and code something like this (i used 5 seconds for quick test, you put 60 seconds ^^)

Upon opening the capx file, on some layouts objects appear invisible, or not the right size/color until I zoom WAY in on them. This makes it impossible to work with! I can't work with what I can't see. Please help me. I recorded a video showing exactly what is going on.https://drive.google.com/open?id=1FzhzU ... uV5BZ1GHhL

hi

I had this same problem with a old computer with outdated openGL version.

are you using an old graphic card?

in my case i solved putting this opengl32.dll file into C2 directory
