I really like the animations at the begining of the video 😂 Good luck with the development!

Glad you like it, I’m putting little animations in each of my Devlogs ☺️

I have for a long time been trying to find a way to create a wind turbine effect… where when the player is overlapping a area/collision, the player is forced in a certain direction. 1. When moving against it, players speed is lowered. 2. When moving in it’s direction, the players speed is increased. Is it enough to use Platform behavior on the player for this? For Construct 3. All the best T

[@Winstreak1]

Yes you can do something that accomplishes this with Platform (If I recall you are using Construct - Platform Character for Gdevelop). With just left and right it is pretty simple, adding Directions on the Y axis I think would need more than just Platform. Most basic route: Create Your Platform Character like normal. Create an object that will be the Area of 'Wind'. If player is overlapping Wind and Player is Not Mirrored (facing right) Set Character Max Speed to 600. If player is overlapping Wind and Player is Not Mirrored (facing right) Set Character Max Speed to 200. If player is NOT overlapping Wind. Set Character Max Speed to 400. Create another object for the opposite direction, AKA Not Mirrored would = 200 Max Speed. You will probably want to upgrade this to not hard set values for your character speeds if you plan on having more than 1 type of speed qualifier in your game.

@@Winstreak1 thank you for your quick reply, as always. What if I wish to add it to a flying character, and as soon as character is out of the wind path, there is a slow transition from the hard push, to no push?

[@Winstreak1]

@@torealexandersen2179 To trend down slowly you will: Instead of setting to '400' when out of the wind check to see if the character != (not equal) to 400. If it's less add like 1 or 2 and if it's more subtract 1 or 2. Make the condition also be an every 0.2s or something like that. Play with the numbers till they make sense. As for pushing players up and down, I don't remember how to do that on Construct. 😶

@@Winstreak1 thank you mate. Wish you a sunny day.

So New Instances are Automatically Renamed? I notice this with the 2 Slimes moving at different speeds

[@Winstreak1]

Not positive what you mean by renamed? Each instance is a clone of the the original object and will start with the values you set to the object. They are all their own entities though, so changing one will not effect the others.

Z orders, for me at lease ,are getting kinda confusing with The Addition of 3D

[@Winstreak1]

I have yet to touch 3d, but I am sure that adds another layer of complexity to the matter.

[@sawsbone7303]

wait this is construct 3???

[@bananapeelonhead]

it's GDevelop, a free visual-script engine somewhat similar to Construct 3

[@sawsbone7303]

@@bananapeelonhead oh neat. almost thought it was a construct theme at first lol

[@Winstreak1]

@@sawsbone7303 It's not Construct, but it is very similar - and Free ^^
