  • Problem Description

    When using a costume webfont, setting a text object text to "text..." doesn't render the periods, setting text to "text. . ." does render them, I am not sure if this a font, an engine or a browser related issue, on Edge it seems to render OK.

    Attach a Capx

  • It's basically a zip file, you can make a patch that will just add/replace file in the original package using a cmd zip compressor.

    I think I saw a plugin a while ago for handling zip files, try looking for it.

  • Add a scale var to your player, if you don't show the player at 1:1 at the start you need to set the initial value to the correct one else set it to 1, then on collision set this var to self*1.01 then set player scale to var value, you can do the last part on a every tick with dt and possibly lerping to get a more smooth growing transition.

  • Great, thank you!

  • Is there a way to delete an internal saved game?

  • You can use a shader called tabletop for the depth view, then just scroll the text with a set Y event.

  • "Suggestion: your effect will be more beautiful if we will be able to turn around the tower completly..."

    You can do that by creating an endless scrolling layout, not so hard to achieve.

  • This looks amazing!

  • Not sure that's a good idea, because if its on the game layer you will need to send it to the top with every new object you spawn on that layer and if you going to scale in/out the game layer, you'll probably want the crosshair to stay the same size, not to mention it's unnecessary extra events and behaviors.

  • Because I wanted it to affect the entire surface of the tile object, what should I set it to then?

  • You can use CanvasToLayer and LayerToCanvas to get the X Y of an object on a different layer

    example

    CanvasToLayerX("UI",LayerToCanvasX("game",object.x,object.y),LayerToCanvasY("game",object.x,object.y))

    CanvasToLayerY("UI",LayerToCanvasX("game",object.x,object.y),LayerToCanvasY("game",object.x,object.y))

  • This is even stranger, I made a fresh mini capx and now it doesn't show up at all!
