  • Yo,

    Do you guys think it is worth it having different objects positions being updated every x milliseconds? Did it gave any of you better performance?

  • Great find!

  • Looks neat. What kind of meta you can store in the tiles? Can you add vars to them? cheers

  • Thanks guys.

    with this lerp(100,0, clamp((distance - distanceForFullOpacity) / (distanceForFullTransparency - distanceForFullOpacity), 0,1)) after filling it up it didn't work properly, untill I've switched places for the first two numbers ( so from 100,0 to 0,100) and it worked. Thanks!

  • Hi,

    I'm experimenting with opacity change depending on a distance, and would want to do it between couple of ranges, like 1000 an 1100, where at instance of 1000 would give 100 opacity and 1100 would give 0 opacity. So i tied using clamp, and tried some to other ideas, but don't know what would be the easiest solution for that. So if anyone would have a suggestion, I'd appreciate it.

  • Also, you can put your loops inside groups and enable/disable them when needed.

    Groups or Boo

    1. This is why I said node-based methods also suffer from orgranization problems.

    2. & 3. Ok, then I didn't express myself correctly, sorry. I was thinking about complicated, lengthy scripts. Serious projects tend to have some of those.

    4. So Blox simplifies that part of visual programming?

    5. Since I was talking about big projects, there's no need for making small games to compare the two regarding this conversation. However I'll probably do some tests in the future.

    +1. We should move to another topic or continue this elsewhere, since we're off topic here.

    I was always saying that some expressions need some sort of visual representation and gui to set them up, to make things easier. It is true that the amount of programming we got to do in a non-programmers software is staggering if you want to make something bit more complex. For example I was porting level generator from unity tutorial too c2, and it needed many more events, and in the end didn't work fully right ( cause it wasn't detecting the edges of arrays for some reason, so some parts of map would be going beyond them ). Anyway, making things simpler to use is always a good direction.

  • Thanks guys!

  • Hi,

    A while back I saw a use of modulo where it was placed at the end of equation like this: % 4. where it was suppose to return some other number if random number would be bigger then 4. But I don't exactly get it, so if anyone could give me some tips on how to use it, that would be appreciated. Thanks!

  • I've been annoyed by this kind of jitter since day one of using construct. Would be really good to have option added to make it render movement smoother. And yes, it happens when moving diagonally.

    Guys just please take a bit of your time to read every page of this topic.

    Ashley did already say more than enough about C3 for the moment, we should be satisfied with that information for a while!

    > We are basically working full-time on C3 and it's been our focus for over a year now. It is certainly not going to be cancelled or anything like that. We are just not ready to share any information yet for a few reasons:

    > - C2 is still a great product and actively maintained, and we think it's best for users to keep focusing on C2 instead of sitting around waiting for C3 (especially since we still don't know when it will be ready)

    > - we don't want to say something and then end up delaying, modifying or ultimately removing any particular feature we talked about - right now everything is still subject to change

    > - public information about the state of C3 could affect our competitive edge, especially since we're doing some pretty interesting stuff

    > - we don't want to ruin the surprise!

    >

    > Rest assured we are working daily to get C3 ready as soon as possible, and we will share more information when we're ready.

    >

    Hail to this! I'm 101% certain C3 will be fantastic, and will address a lot of the suggestions we were giving for years. And I'm sure it will include a lot of user friendly solutions, such as adding options that will save us time doing mundane types of events.

  • This is really cool Thanks!
