    I couldn't. Dont have the beta installed.

    but i used r238 beta, stable is r239 you should be able to open it. unless you use some very old stable version in which case i dont want to help for various reasons.

    You can't stretch animations as you please. They have a height and width for a reason

    man this was a fast disproved point...... yes you can stretch it as you wish, that is why is a image. and can also look good, depends on how you create your graphics, you can use also not a regular sprite, but a tiledbackground for the frame of the laser to repeat itself in length or width, however tiledbackgrounds dont have frames, so im using sprites cause its more useful.

    Demo capx enjoy it <--- has animation in it also multiple frames.

    if you want the beam to stop a platformer, just add the behavior Solid to it, and will be working as long as its on screen and blocks the blobs path.

  • you are kind ... there certainly a solution... let me meditate

    Thug Life ... hahaha

    if you are talking about the Smash It glass shattering effect that is a 3d game, with precomposed 3d models that brake apart, which can be easily be done in 3d, however in 2d that is a different ball game.

    if you are talking about a random glass effect then you can use the glass effect C2 already has, and for shattering just create multiple sprites with same effect when collided with main one.

    here is a quick demo using the C2 glass effect and some basic spawn conditions hope it helps you. click on C2 nation logo glass thingy and will shatter as glass does... if you want it to have more irregular shapes, add more random cut sprites. (hint: in order for the effect to be visible even at 10000 parameter value, you need some sort of multi color image, best are working with white and black, it differentiates between deep and high glass material, if you add one color sprite wont be visible at all will be just clean glass transparent.)

  • Pode

    Can i read barcode also? If yes, can i use scanner, not camera only? Thanks!

    you might want to commission or ask someone to create a plugin for C2 based on this code bar reader js api or use browser to execute it and read directly the barcode using the scanner.

  • Not possible. you cant add 2 blend modes. dont ask me why, just i know you cant, and you will never be able to cause webgl does not work that way. it can only apply one blend mode, same photoshop does, you can apply one blend then if you want you can rasterize the image then apply another one but the old blend wont be there. so the long answer wold be "Nope"

    ps. see if you have a option to fallback blend mode, and set that to additive, but that only happened only when a effect is added (hue saturation etc)

    i remember doing a old project, with a girl in a mirror, and i was using the same source atop blend trick, but for some reason its not working anymore, unless the bottom or top source is on additive, and even then its going to look bad in the new C2 version atleast, the version i used for girl in mirror and worked, was back around 167 or 180 i think but i cant remember was months ago, maybe a year.

  • i dont think is the controls, its the animation, check for animation image points, and set them to y 0 or to max height all image points on Y ax must be the same, if the character does a double jump, then might be that your animation has image points in different places, which causes the look of a prolonged or double jump.

    also you might want to disable the mouse plugin, since you already have touch object. touch object works both on mobile as for desktop, mouse does not work on mobile unless you tick the option for touch behavior, which might cause your double jump, since the action happens 2 times.

    hope it helped you.

    also if those are not the causes, take a look at the events for the black part, might be that the player passes half trough it, and your collision box its somehow broke, causing your character to push up a bit.

    scouting the top game develop in arcade will not help him at all.

    Tenkan

    better commission it on other gateways that have also c2 programmers with high rating/delivery and quality work. why top games in arcade section wont help? because they are in top based on views, and votes (stars) do not count. outside the 1st 10 games there rest are really low spec games with some sort of high views (not sure why they have passed over 10k views). And if you really have a big client(i wold understand the project its in sum of 4 digits), then do not be stingy get yourself a paid programmer and a graphic artist, and get a quick quality demo to show, even if its in auto-driving category, if looks good they will like it even if it is automatically denied as you said. its all about presentation, then comes functionality. but you should know this already.

    as an idea for you to wrap your mind around it, if they are similar to tom-tom as services, then then do something with the gameplay around a live map, if they are in the car manufacturing, then you can create some type of car engine puzzle 3dish preferable.

  • why dont you share a capx so we can see the problem and maybe fix it for you? installing the apk wont help you pin down the problem at all.

  • —

    If you are interested I can send this plugin to you ..

    No,but thank you! Im trying to do something 3d-ish with some of the effects you made and audio analyser. im just playing around today.

  • Master Gigatron, one request if possible, can you make the effect detect the collision mask, so we can add different shapes suchs as, round object etc? cause atm it only does square.

  • ehm, yes you have a good point, but if she likes drawing so much, you could infuse the idea of Architectural Designs in her mind, and not worry about (ie. Starving Artists).... you know why im saying that... Architects are like Doctors. She having the drawing skills is a good start, that is one requirement, the other is Mathematics if she studies good id say go for a Architect University, yes takes 6 -7 years but man once she finished it. She be making in a month as you did your entire life.

    atleast that is my point of view, as for her love for drawing stuff for fun as she does now, cause she thinks is cool and her Daddy is in the business. she can do it part-time and learn while doing it.

    As a side note: i have a few Graphic designers friends in university all where so enthusiastic at beginning about it, then 2nd year came and they where thinking to drop from the school.

    Its best to ask her where she sees herself in this business in next 10 years, and if she has stuff in her mind with being a artist, and im not saying the commercial type, but the more fancy and not understood types(ie. staving artists) ... that is going to be a rough future for her, if she tends in that direction.

    plus she just finishes high-school, you can model her idea of designing, and help her choose a career point. where as a woman she needs to be in future, and can sustain herself, and not depend on her future husband or worry where her next freelancer job will come from.

    im thinking at your problem, as i see myself if i wold have a daughter.

    and from my point of view, not worth it getting into game industry as a graphic designer.

    The text above is just my opinion on the issue posted by the OP no pwn intended or trolling.
