Maybe move the textbox when clicked on or change the scroll so it stays onscreen. That’s what I’d try.

As an alternate you could try the js prompt() function to get input instead of using the textbox.

Anyways, just ideas.

Wouldn’t using the action:

Set css style "transform" to "rotate(90deg)" work?

Seems to be supported on most browsers.

I think when an action takes an object as a parameter it's not picky what kind of object.

Form objects actually float above the game canvas so they don't draw. I think the only workaround for that is to somehow draw the form controls on the canvas. You can do that by setting css opacity to 0 and doing the drawing by other means. However, there seems to be quite a bit of nuance to draw the same.

Here's a test of hiding the inputbox form and displaying it by other means. Needs work when more text is displayed, but it may give ideas.

A simple solution would be to limit the number of characters?

You can think of vertices as just points. Most 3d modeling programs use that term.

Anyways UVs are just texture coordinants. Much like XY give a location on the layout, UV gives a location on a texture. UVs go from 0 to 1. Say this square is an image, the following shows the UV of each corner.
(0,0) +----+ (1,0) |....| |....| +----+ (1,1) (1,0)

Since UVs are in the range 0 to 1 this is called normalized coordinates. It's useful as opposed to pixel coordinates because it works for any image size. If you want to use pixel coordinates you can convert it to uvs with (x/imageWidth, y/imageHeight).

Hi,

Making the distortions better is out of the scope of this plugin. Mayne it's solvable via a shader or utilizing perspective correct texturing. Both would require a fair amount of shenanigans to be able to do that within C2's renderer. One half solution is to subdivide into smaller quads, and perhaps changing how the quad is made out of triangles could give some improvements. The latter could be done by rotating the order of the vertices as needed. Could be something to experiment with.

As is the distortion works well with scaling, sheering, or rotating. Perspective isn't possible with affine transformations without hacking the renderer to be 3d or some special case shader.

For your second question you can do that with uvs. Just set the xy and uv of all four vertices and use the "draw quad with uv" action.

Apparently that execCommand function is deprecated in browsers now, and the following is the new way. The docs indicate it won’t work in a webworker and needs the website to be https.

Execute js "navigator.clipboard.writeText('"&Textbox.text&"')"

This is the latest version of using distort mesh to make a sprite into a cube and rotating it by x,y and/or z. The angle, angular speed, and size of each cube can be set with variables.

Updated it again to fix that error when loading into c3. Also I found the set color effect works different in c3 so I fixed that as well so it will work correct if run from c3 or c2.

They aren’t available. You can see the runtime portions of them with the browser console when previewing, but the edittime part is obfuscated with the rest of the editor.

Updated again:

* fixed the coloring issue.

* let you use "white" or "black" as a color in addition to "r,g,b".

* added an option to change the background to be darker when using lighter colors.

* now generates the "spacing data json" that C3 uses. So in c3 no events are needed to setup the spacing. joelmayer

* some general event cleanups.

Here’s one example of a way to do it. It’s a bit old so it should be possible to do it in a cleaner way now.

construct.net/en/forum/construct-3/your-construct-creations-9/example-mesh-distort-sphere-161470
The gist is you make the meshes by bending distort meshes around. Worst case you use a sprite per face. So you’d have a list of vertex positions that you’d rotate by multiplying by a 3x3 rotation matrix or something like that.

Other more recent examples of distort mesh 3D. But they are focusing on some other aspects.

Unfortunately in the browser you can only check if a font is installed. You can’t get a list of all the installed fonts.

Most online editors just have a list of fonts that they check to see are installed. Perhaps I could do something like that at some point.
