I have been looking for a 2D reflective water shader for some time and was delighted to see that this tutorial was posted on YouTube to create just that:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPr5PvSgxFo

I've had a go at implementing it and have got the reflective water rendering. It's very "Kingdom: Two Crowns" like when spread across the full width of the scene.

However, as you can see from the image above, I've drawn a pond (as a separate Sprite2D) and I've applied the water shader to the pond. It's done that, but draws the water as a rectangle.

Is there a way to apply this shader to the Sprite2D, but conform to the actual sprite (only the light blue), rather than as a rectangle?

I scoured all the Act 1 areas (probably still missed stuff) but finally decided to jump into Act 2. I'm struggling to feel "connected" to it, to be honest. I went down the ladder into the Underdark and just sailed my way across to some ancient Shar-worshipper place and I feel... lost?

I remember this was exactly the issue I had with D:OS2 as well. Played Fort Joy, loved it, made it off the island and couldn't figure out where to go, what to do, etc. The sense of direction left me.

I feel similar vibes here arriving in Act 2. Anyone have any tips or advice, or is it just a case of "stick with it, you'll be all right"? I'm asking because I've played a lot of Act 1 and barely touched the game since making it into Act 2 a few weeks ago.

Hi everyone, I was hoping someone could help me with the following. I have a button that saves a screenshot PNG to the Downloads folder when you press it.

What I want is for the button to disappear after it is pressed, so the screenshot does not include the two menu buttons called "%SaveReport" and "%BackMainMenu".

The code for the save button is listed below:

`

func _on_SaveReport_pressed():

$"%SaveReport".visible = false

$"%BackMainMenu".visible = false

print("I've disabled the buttons")
print("That means the screenshot SHOULD be button free")

take_screenshot()

$"%SaveReport".visible = true
$"%BackMainMenu".visible = true

`

As you can see, it calls the take_screenshot() function which is listed above:

`

func take_screenshot(): image = get_viewport().get_texture().get_image()

if OS.get_name() == "Web" or OS.has_feature('JavaScript'):
	print("We're on the web")
	# We're on the web		

	image.clear_mipmaps()

	var buffer = image.save_png_to_buffer()
	JavaScriptBridge.download_buffer(buffer, fileName)

if OS.get_name() != "Web" or !OS.has_feature('JavaScript'):
	# We're not on the web
	print("We're not on the web")
	
	var docs = OS.get_environment("HOME") + "/Documents"
	
	var title = str(docs + "/results",global_ints.observed_person_name, global_ints.observation_minutes,".png")
	
	print(title)
	
	var _saveimage = image.save_png(title)
	
	if OS.get_name() != "OSX":
		print("We're not on MacOS")
		var _openfolder = OS.shell_open(docs)
	
	if OS.get_name() == "OSX":
		print("We're on MacOS")
		
		var _openfolder = OS.shell_open("file://" + docs)

`

The code works. The screenshot is taken and it's saved to the Downloads folder and MacOS/Windows/Linux open up the Downloads folder straight after.

For the life of me, I can't figure out why the Back & Screenshot buttons ( "%SaveReport" and "%BackMainMenu") that I turn invisible BEFORE I call take_screenshot() end up being in the screenshot. Every single time.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

Pretty much as I described in my toot (text copied here). Is anyone aware of what I may need to fix to get this plugin to work again?

I'm hoping someone can help me with a Godot engine question. With the Q&A forum being read-only, I'm hoping Lemmy people can answer this one for me.

I'm trying to use this plugin for HTML5 downloads in Godot 4.1:

https://github.com/Pukkah/HTML5-File-Exchange-for-Godot

It's for Godot 3.4, but I've upgraded my projects and want to stay in 4.1.

Currently, it throws an error “Identifier JavaScript not defined in scope” (see screenshot).

Would anyone have an idea on what to fix here? Thanks!
