Yeah, I know how to do this with Paster. I posted the link to repository mostly for posterity, as people are asking where they can download his plugins quite often on this forum. And now my comment is buried on a previous page :)

So here is the link again:

The screen center is in the middle between ViewPortLeft(L) and ViewPortRight(L), where "L" is layer name or number.

So you can use lerp(ViewPortLeft(L), ViewPortRight(L), 0.5)

piranha305 Nice demo, thanks! Do you know how to get binary data (Base64) from an existing sprite, or from drawing canvas?

If you only want a visual effect (don't need to change collision polygons), you can use blend modes. See "Blend modes" template in C3 editor, here is the direct link:

newt Yeah, but is there a similarly easy way to extract Base64 from image, without plugins?

This is easy, just add "Slder_button isDragging=1" condition to the event #25

.

Also, where did you get the WebStorage plugin?! It has been deprecated at least 3 years ago! You need to use Local Storage instead.

And, you probably know this, but the sprite cursor will not work with Form Controls (your big OK button is a Form Control).

You need to use "wait 0.5*loopindex" in the first line, not your static variable.

The first loop (for "IndexX") is actually executed in one tick, but it creates many Wait threads. If you use static variable, at this time it's 0, so all these threads will become "Wait 0". If you use loopindex, then they will be scheduled with 0.5s increments.

That's a clever solution! Much easier than what I had in mind.

Making the car to only turn on intersections is easy - just put an invisible square sprite there and ignore left/right keys if the car is not overlapping it.

But if you want the car to make a naturally looking 90-degree turn and enter its lane properly - this part may be tricky.

I don't really understand how your game is supposed to work. You need to post your project, or maybe a youtube video of a similar game.

Put the JSON string with character spacing data in here:

I also highlighted other important fields.

If you configure everything correctly, you will not need to change anything with events.
