"Slicing" a shape in Playmaker

[ItzArranT]

Hey all,

As a spiritual successor to a previous post of mine ('Re-creating the gameplay of "Calmfall") I was curious if anyone had any ideas on how to go about re-creating a mechanic similar to Fruit Ninja's "fruit slicing".

Essentially, the functionality would involve:

1) Observing a geometric shape from a 2D perspective.
2) Tapping the screen and dragging your finger to draw a straight line across that shape.
3) Lifting your finger to finish drawing the line and "set" the cut.
4) The cut affecting the shape accordingly (i.e. sliced in two).

I realise this is probably highly complex but I was curious if such a mechanic could be achieved in something like Playmaker.

Thanks all.

Hi, i think it is best to get an asset like sprite slicer

If you want to use this let me know and i can make a custom action for this.
I do not have the asset but i believe it is only a single line for the script and it is in the video so it won't be hard to make this.

Hi djaydino, thanks for the response and sorry for the late reply- in the middle of moving!

Thanks for the great recommendation re Sprite Slicer- do you know if this handles colliders also?

An action for it would be amazing

Hi.

Here is the action.

Be sure to make a backup of your project before importing this.
I can't test this, as i do not have the asset.

Install the asset before importing the action

Please let me know if it worked.
