  I'm not sure I understand it exactly, but Skymen made this addon that allows the object to always use the image of another object:

  construct.net/en/make-games/addons/933/empty-shell

  so you can basically set a source object and the empty shell will copy from it

  I really wish something to solve this would be added to the platform behavior. I made a suggestion for it a while ago: construct23.ideas.aha.io/ideas/C23-I-90

  Votes would be appreciated.

  if you are looking to actually create a billboard, R0J0hound made an example using mesh and math. It's uploaded on the community discord.

  Though it will probably be easier to do the billboard like you are doing with Mikals 3dObject addon using a plane.

  To transfer position to different layers in 3d you want to use the 3dCameras layerToCanvas() canvasToLayer() or the new 3dCamera layerToLayer() expressions.

  3dcamera.layerToLayerX() and 3dcamera.layerToLayerY() is only available in the Beta branch for now.

  documentation to read about it:

  If you want to move something and have it be correctly affected by physics at the same time you must move it by physics.

  if you import a sound with a name already in the project it will open a prompt to replace that file.

  construct23.ideas.aha.io (also this is the suggestion board)

  yea containers are not really usable aside from some very limited cases imo, I would greatly appreciate a rework of containers to work properly with families, hierarchies and templates.

  I originally had this included in my suggestion "hierarchies for all object types" that you closed (thank you for adding support for a bunch of objects tho), saying that you only want hierarchies to be used for moving objects. But than we need another way to add them that allows the same amount of flexibility, which containers don't in their current form.

  I'm glad it's helpful.

  There still were some issues that should be fixes now. I updated the previous post with two versions.

  I think I made an updated version, that fixes some issues and has better performance a while back but I never posted it here, only in the discord:

  it should be this one:

  version with pathfinding: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YYAZbvwfxjkVCD5ZpBJWaqBB15qI-DaG/view?usp=sharing

  > howtoconstructdemos.com/two-virtual-thumbstick-capx

  Just checked this example on 3 year old smartphone and it shows pretty poor performance with almost empty layout, about 50% cpu (high draw calls) and fps drop to 30 when thumbsticks is "in touch". Any idea how to improve this?

  the reason for that is probably mostly the text object updating every tick.

  Delete it and see if performance is better

  Edit: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-pW5JQGa2zxxPMvzv6iYr36AC-q1Z6v-/view?usp=sharing I checked out the example and made some changes, simplified and got rid of some framerate dependent events.

  seems like the depth is not working, can you press f12 to see if there are any error messages?

  Are you testing other games that use webGL? As if they are using Vulkan or directX it isn't the same graphics API.

  This has most likely nothing to do with C3 but with the GPUs drivers.

  Make sure your GPU drivers are up to date and restart your pc.

  You can do games with a 3d-camera and 3d-objects but the games logic will fundamentally still be 2d unless you do some advanced stuff like creating your own 3d collision system.

  If your goal is to create 3d games, Construct 3 is not a good option. But if you want to mainly create 2d games and dabble a bit with 3d it's great!
