  made an effect that allows you to fade out a sprite from the edges, has a bunch of properties that allow for a wide variety of uses, how soft, how round, how large etc. Here are some example use cases (you can also invert the effect by choosing a larger Outer than Inner property):

  I think this is an issue with your testing, as on fall triggers one tick late (so it triggers with one tick of gravity already applied afaik)

  There is the built in posterize effect, but I have already experimented with one that allows you to also set the colors palette, might finish it one day

  New effect:

  Procedural animated God Rays, effect has very little performance cost. Based on a shader for Godot (godotshaders.com).

  You can still do stuff like this, but you'd need to spawn objects and transform their positions yourself

  yea in other engines you usually have a setting to make the particles position transformed with the particle spawners position. In c3 that setting is sadly missing.

  You can play timelines animations anywhere with the timeline manager object.

  Sadly afaik there is no way to mirror the timeline animations, this has also been the main reason I didn't end up using them for most boss animations in my platformer

  array.IndexOf(0), this works as empty array cells return null

  edit: sorry I just read you are looking for a specific collumn, my bad

  My newest effect is a color vignette, similar to the build in vignette but it allows you to set the color plus some additional parameters to tweak.

  yea that vampire survivor-esque push out solid thing you made is nice!

  I guess the build in collision cells must update when an instance moves I assume (well not the whole thing but the specific instance) instead of just every frame. Plus they also handle objects with different sizes.

  I'll check the spacial hash out you linked, definitely seems like a custom solution is the best for extreme cases.

  Still would be awesome to have access to the build in system and I assume (naively) it shouldn't be much more work for Scirra then to expose the interface.

  All I am asking for is a scripting interface to query the collision cells, it could be something like:

  runtime.collisionCells.getInstancesInRect(x1,y1,x2,y2)

  I don't understand what you are arguing about when you yourself don't seem to know what collision cells even are:

  from a programming perspective, I'm not sure how that is possible, ha. You can't get something from nothing - not sure what other way you could start from other than an array of objects and at minimum filtering the array

  bro why are you trying to convince me that I don't know what I am talking about, what is the purpose of this discussion?
