I understood how the Paster Plugin works!!!

:DDDD

But I found a problem, the Paster plugin don't work to copy the text plugin 'sprite', since it's not a... sprite. Anyway, it does work with SpriteFont, BUT! It does have a clip frustum or something (srry I don't want to use translate) -- It disappear when outside layout

Anyway I searched for one plugin I saw one time, and found this: (https://www.construct.net/en/forum/construct-2/addons-29/behavior-sprite-effects-amp-46890)

R0J0hound you were here way before me, did you by any change have already downloaded this plugin? Because it isn't available anymore. If not, I might ask the guy who created the plugin and test if it works.

Afte all, if nothing works, I still can try making loading screen that would hide the Paster Plugin behind a sprite and the SpriteFont behing the Paster plugin to load every text inside the scene.

Nope, Nope, NOPE! I am giving up! I will go and try again with the paster plugin... I just asked Phinder AI to help tell me what Camera Orientation (ThetaXYZ) is and how to get it... The response:

Here is how you can convert the rotation matrix to Euler angles:

1. ThetaX (Rotation around X-axis): This can be calculated from the elements of the rotation matrix. Specifically, ThetaX is the arctangent of -orientYZ / sqrt(orientYY^2 + orientZZ^2).

2. ThetaY (Rotation around Y-axis): This can be calculated similarly. ThetaY is the arctangent of (orientXZ / cos(ThetaX)) / sqrt((orientXX^2 + orientXZ^2) / >(cos(ThetaX)^2)).

3. ThetaZ (Rotation around Z-axis): This is calculated as the arctangent of (orientXY / cos(ThetaX)) / sqrt((orientXX^2 + orientXY^2) / (cos(ThetaX)^2)).

Also in the end it will be only a shot in the dark.

Last Edit: I think I am starting to understand how the Paster Plugin works, the Tunel might have a light!

Why not have it simpler and have a speech bubble icon above object and when you approach it you'll get 2d speech bubble with text?

Well, it's a good option and I think I might use this way. Although my objective it to create a '3D Game Template' and the way I am trying could maybe save a lot of time... or maybe just be a real shot in the dark...

+ With this I could also save a lot of memory since I won't need to save all the ballons sprites if I have a complex scene or if want to add a text typing effect.

Srry, What is scrollx?

Plus, you talked about wikipedia and I search and found this:

(I forgot it was translated, but here the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_projection)

... let's see what I can get... (I should had listened to math class lol)

** I didn't understand how to get the E value {E xyz}? It's the depth? It's the FOV? How?

This is for "3D Text", like when you pass nearby a NPC and have a ballon for dialog, or to display enemy health bar or as I said '3D texting'! :)

Thanks R0J0!

I will test it right now!

This will be edited:

Status: Final result: it doesn't BUT! You gave an idea and I think I might now can move on!

Plus: I think I almost found a 'formula' by testing some other formulas and combining them and testing, etc.

* Dictionary: DedicatedTo3DConversion

* Add keys:

** DedicatedTo3DConversion.Get("Dist") = distance(x, y, camx, camy)

** Camera2D.Angle == Rojo Z rotation

** PlayerAngleY.Angle == Rojo Y rotation

** DedicatedTo3DConversion.Get("LayerWidth") = viewportRight(Layer)-viewportLeft(Layer)

** DedicatedTo3DConversion.Get("LayerHeihgt") = viewportBottom(Layer)-viewportTop(Layer)

X2d: (DedicatedTo3DConversion.Get("Dist") * cos(Camera2D.Angle) * DedicatedTo3DConversion.Get("LayerWidth")*2) /(DedicatedTo3DConversion.Get("Dist") * cos(Camera2D.Angle) +DedicatedTo3DConversion.Get("LayerWidth"))

Y2d: (DedicatedTo3DConversion.Get("Z") - DedicatedTo3DConversion.Get("CamZ")* sin(-PlayerAngleY.Angle) *DedicatedTo3DConversion.Get("LayerHeight")) /DedicatedTo3DConversion.Get("Dist") * cos(-Camera2D.Angle) + DedicatedTo3DConversion.Get("LayerHeight")/2

*The last time I tested it was almost working just have to do some changes for when the object isn't at the players angle of view, but this is for later.

I am also using something to similar to what you did. Although I am not talking about player rotation/orientation. I am trying to figure out what those guys who developed 3D things were thinking (laughs even more like the Joker)... I am becoming crazzy ;(

What I am trying to do is the function in most engines called as "WorldToScreenCoordinates(layer, posx, posy, posz)" and Construct 3 also have that, right now I just tried reading the code they have (Opening the 3d example project 'high-tech vision' and pression 'F12' to open Google Chrome DevTools and searched at 'Sources') and it was a bit complicated to find where it was since it was... well a big code :P ...

Anyway, I found it, but I still don't get some parts and for the second one I guess I have answer...

First! How do I get the value of 'viewportMatrix'

Second! How do I get the value of 'projectionMatrix'?

Is the First the values of (orientXX, orientXY, orie...)?

The second one I think it is named as 'projMat' inside R0J0hound runtime.js code, I just have to figure out how to program javascript and add it inside Construct 2 as an expression.

R0J0hound megatronx

Can any of you help me please?

I am trying to convert 3D pos into 2D pos, but I had no success...

{I forgot to completely translate the comment from portuguese to english, but

the function call is:

Function.Call("Convert3Dto2D", <layername>, x, y, z, camx, camy, camz)

and ignore the extra things that are written there, it was for testing and it failed}

*There is some events that were cut off... But it is basically:

Rojo3D.orientXX("camera")+DedicatedTo3DConversion.Get("X") +

Rojo3D.orientXY("camera")+DedicatedTo3DConversion.Get("Y") +

Rojo3D.orientXZ("camera")+DedicatedTo3DConversion.Get("Z")

...... (and similar to the rest)

* The yellow box is the image that I am trying to set the 2D pos from the 3D pos conversion.

* The 3D pos is from that mesh that looks a lot like a Minecraft piston block.

But the conversion isn't accurate and sometimes when I rotate the camera It gets off the object.

Also, if I go foward the object it stills visible at screen

Also+ , If I turn around from that position from last image I won't see it anyway and inside the debugg console will show it's position will be really away.

*I think with these I could achieve the '3D text'

add n*( tSpace.At(1,1,0) = tSpace.At(x2+1,y2+1,0) )

Sorry to be nosy, but are you trying to compare with a info inside the array is equal to another with a fórmula...

And if it's: true - add the x value to array

False: add value 0 to array

?

It seems correct to me. Maybe you could try using the expression:

{I put between parentheses to be easier to just copy and paste}

* Remove que Comments I made...

// Start Here (

find(

tSpace.At(1,1,0),

tSpace.At(x2+1,y2+1,0)

)

<> //Not equal

-1

) // End Here

I think this expression might work.
