  Hello, on my laptop I can't see particles being emitted

  I can see them fine on my chromebook, so I'm assuming it's a hardware issue

  Is this true or is there just some software I need to update?

  it doesn't look good when you overlap any of the objects.

  Agreed. Updated it so now you can overlap

  Hi everyone!

  I created a dynamic fog system that makes objects peek out of fog depending on their height

  It works with any object. All you have to do is add the object to a family and voila!

  Here's the template so you can add dynamic fog to your game:

  I added fog and made it so objects poke out of it depending on their height

  Here are 2 options:

  Create a rotating black sprite with a triangle cut out of it

  Crate a new black layer set to Force Own Texture and put a triangle sprite on top of it with it's blend mode set to Destination out

  This is a problem I've encountered as well

  The solution for me has been to pin all pinned objects to one central object instead of creating pin chains. In this case the central object would be your Player object, and you would pin the player bottom, player top, and gun all to it

  I believe this thread is about providing a tool to automatically upgrade old functions to new functions. This is different to deprecation.

  Just curious, will the old functions be removed entirely?

  Is it just me or does Ashley have a way with tutorials? I find his tutorials so easy to digest

  I like to change the settings so that preview windows are opened as new windows instead of new tabs, and then

  1. Open 2 separate chrome windows

  2. Load project on both

  3. Run preview on both

  It's still kind of cumbersome. If you're only adjusting and testing code that happens on the peer's end, you can just leave the Host running while you tinker and re-preview the peer repeatedly

  C2 runtime doesn't require the host's window to be open, but for some reason C3 does. It would be nice if we could run the Host from a minimized tab again

  Perhaps the idea board should reflect these numbers you're quoting? I don't see them there. I can only look at the numbers on left side. If you are implementing the good suggestions, that's excellent! :-)

  Ahh I just realized I can use "On Peer Connected" in the peer logic rather than "On Peer Created"

  Thanks for your help! This will work

  My first approach would be to have all npcs created and handled by the host, with their own events. Copy whatever events you need to initialize them and set up their behaviors. Smart use of functions will allow some event logic to be used by both peers and hosts, but it's generally best to keep them separate.

  To answer your question specifically, you can set a flag/variable during an on peer connected event to signal that the peer object is being created for a player. Otherwise, you can use on peer object created (with the condition flag = false) to differentiate for npcs.

  So you're suggesting I use a synced variable to check if newly created Peer Objects are NPCs or players?
