  • ah!

    thanks

  • maybe I'm overthinking this, but

    I still can't get it to work

    I made a new cap, created a canvas object, created a sprite and moved it over the canvas

    made a "start of layout" event that pastes the object to the canvas

    and then moves the object to reveal the pasted object

    nothing there

    what am I doing wrong, or could you bust a cap so I can see?

    thanks

  • let's say you have a sprite called "monster"

    I make a loop that pastes 20 monsters in a row at runtime

    then I want to have a loop that does something along the lines of

    if monster(loopindex) is dead then monster(loopindex-1) move here

    I know it's possible in a roundabout way to reference a certain monster by index

    by creating a private variable

    called monsterindex

    and then making two conditions like

    loop i

    if monsterindex = loopindex

    then your actions

    but it's difficult and cumbersome to do something where I select the current loop index

    and the next four monsters, and do something slightly different with each

    so is it possible to just reference instances by some type of sequential index?

    like an array of objects?

  • I can't get it to do anything?

  • nevermind

    found it! the "force to texture" thing?

    thanks, that's exactly what I needed!

  • thanks..I can't find "grab before rendering" though

  • the direct 2d demo showed bezier curves being rendered at high framerates with antialiasing as part of the demonstration. I'm pretty sure it's to be used for vector stuffs. which won't necessarily help construct, especially since it probably won't be out any time soon, but I think down the line, it'll make it so vector graphic based games will become more prevalent. beziers and 2d polygons won't be so cpu intensive, and more complex vector graphics may become possible during gameplay.

  • hardware accelerated vector graphics

    this should be good

  • bump (sorry so soon), I can see this is going to getting drowned rather quickly though.

  • in the construct main page it says the devs are all volunteers. does that mean construct isn't even someone's college thesis or anything? just curious. either way, you guys rock.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads
  • that's awesome

  • on a happier note, construct is by far the quickest and easiest of these game makers to use, and the forums here always get quick responses, so remaking something from scratch will be as painless as possible. read the wiki and tutorials and post questions if you run into any bumps
