Yes this was intentional....when I said I used html...this has nothing to do with construct2....I was just giving an example of how I did that smearing effect in a game aside from using the game engine construct(I just used a text editor and html and the smearing effect worked).

I want to make a smear effect like they show in this video

at around 6:10. but I don't know how to make it so it doesn't clear the last frame.

I did this in a html game by just removing the canvas(it did that smearing effect)....but if I try to get rid of the canvas in construct it just goes black(it doesn't do that smearing)....

Is it possible to create your own visual effects and put it in construct classic? also can you re-program the shaders that are already in construct classic? I was wondering because sometimes I want to use a lot of shaders(10-12) but it lags the computer drastically. Would it be possible to re-program them so the game can handle (10-20) shaders at a time? or to create your own shader to get the effect you want?

do you think you can make a quick example so I can see it?...sorry I can't visualize this for some reason...or maybe I'm thinking too much...

My game lags very frequently and the main reason is usually the shaders....even if I I use 1 or 2 shaders on an object the game slows down drastically. I was wondering if there was a way to handle this?

Also the game also lags when there are many objects in the screen as well. I know this makes sense logically but if there's any advice that can reduce that lag...it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure how to load the texture in to vram....after I create the object in the other layout...then what do I do?

How do you access images from another layout? For example if I have layout 1 and I put an image of a ball in layout 2... how do I access the image of the ball from layout 2 to layout 1?...how do I create objects from another layout?Unless I am probably not understanding it right...

it says I ran out of video memory and I can't run the game...some people suggested to not use as many textures or to use smaller ones....the only problem it is important to have the many larger textures because it's a huge part of the game.

Do you guys have any suggestions like loading screens or databases or making some plugin so it can handle the video memory. It's only a 5 minute video game so I think it should be possible.

aaaah so close! it was a successful build but after the build was created I still couldn't find the csx file. I think I picked debug in the drop down menu but nothing happened what do I do? how do you set it up so it generates a csx file? i used visual studio 2010 by the way.

sorry i'm a little lost..i noticed that my plugins in my construct classic plugins folder are all csx files. When I make the plugin do i make it as a csx file? or do I make it in the same format as the plugins folder at sourceforge.net/p/construct/code/HEAD/tree

for example in the "plugins folder" of sourceforge.net/p/construct/code/HEAD/tree if you look inside the "3d box" folder the ACE Table.cpp is on top and Actions.cpp is second Conditions.cpp is third etc...

do I make a plugin in this format or do I make a csx file because all my construct classic plugins are csx files?

it looks like the template Template Win32 VC8-9 Static and Template MFC VC6-8 Static are already in the sdk directory. Did you mean the template in the ide folder?

I'm a little confused how to make a plugin in construct classic?

I heard I'm supposed to download the sdk folder and common folders from this website:

sourceforge.net/p/construct/code/HEAD/tree

do I download every single file from the sdk folder and common folder individually? or is there is a faster way to do it?

also after I download it do I follow the structure of the plugins at this website(how its coded what type of files are in the folder) sourceforge.net/p/construct/code/HEAD/tree

I also heard if I wanted to make a plugin using audio or graphics I need to download the directX sdk? what version do I download?and what year (2015,2014..etc??)
