[Solved+Tutorial] Make everything under an Object blury

Heyho

First things first: I know how Construct works and how to use effects ...

The question is, is this possible? And if yes, how?

(Sidenote) This is only an example Image, the real thing is not isometric!

[EDIT:]

Found this, works very well for what i need to do! blur-mask-effect

But thanks anyway for the help, you guys are awesome

Here is a .capx with this Methode: CAPX (both objects are dragable)

[EDIT2:]

Btw.: You can polish you project with this technique!

Just add a new layer and set its properties to:

• Background color - 0, 0, 0
• Transparent - No
• Effect - Screen
• Effect - YOUR_EFFECTS

This way, your whole layout gets a set of effects

I would imagine using a combination of blur horizontal/vertical, along with a clipping mask. You have two layers with the background image, the one on top is blurred and the one below is not. Use the "destination in" blending mode on a helper sprite (clipping mask) to clip the blurred layer to only the section you want blurred, while the rest of the unblurred background shows below. On the layer with the blurred image and clipping mask helper sprite, you want to set the "Force own texture" property to yes.

I can't try it myself at the moment, so not sure if it works. Someone else might be able to contribute a better/simpler way.

This would work, thx but when you have objects between the background and the foreground object, this solution would break.

Right, this would only work on a static image prepared... I'm not sure if there is a way to dynamically apply an effect mask to destination objects. Will experiment a bit when I can.

Cool thx, I wait on you replay Meanwhile i try it myself

It is possible. Don't think this way is useful.

Both sprites have drag & drop.

Sir? This is a very good idea!

But DAMN is this complicated ... I just don't get how you done this

My goal is, to have basically a mask, that blurs everything beneath it. The objects doesn't have to be dragable, but it would be a cool bonus when they are.

Hey, thanks for finding that example!

That is awesome - the Screen Effect is the magic that makes it work.

I was trying all kinds of complicated combinations of layers with different effects without much luck, but that example keeps things really simple. That will be very useful in the future!

Sure thing

If you use this blur effect, it looks even nicer
