I just opened up a project on my MacBook today (I usually work on my PC) this is the first time I’ve tried to use one of these shaders in the editor on my MacBook I believe… And I’m getting the same issue. Or is it a feature that I can turn on/off somewhere?

Low fps motionStreak bugs on position, is there a workaround?

I’m on Cocos 2.4.8 and trying to use a motionStreak, the ideia is to move a motion node through 5 points (i’m using nodes to get positions), when i’m on 60 fps, it works fine, but if i drop the fps to 10-15 it starts to ignore the points on screen and go all crazy. to(0.1, { position: this.pivots[1].position position }).to(0.1, position }).to(0.1,

I’m using Cocos Creator 2.4.6, somehow I try to change the node color via script is not working. I remember it used to work. For debugging, I set node color default to (170,170,170) then using script it will increase to 255 in “duration”. 我在使用Cocos Creator 版本 2.4.6 2D, 我想要透过typescript更改node的颜色但是不能，我记得好像以前是没问题的。

Ok so I’ve spent a bit of time trying to understand the issue here and I might think this could be a bug for the engine/bundle process. So basically I was able to setup Redux into my project, but the only reason was because the bundle was.mjs file. Currently, most modern exports for esm commons use the extension.ems.js instead of.mjs.

I'm looking for a good bug database for games and it's been a struggle.

Annoying feature/bug?
Cocos
AUGUST 23, 2023
Sorry to litter up the forums with a question like this but I couldn’t find anything about it anywhere online… So… I have made some shaders that use time to essentially animate themselves. Whenever I attach them to a material, and then a sprite in the engine, I can see them moving in the editor as expected.

So, out of curiosity… why is it that some people’s editor is running the shader and some aren’t? We are all working on the same project using the same editor version? Thank you for your response btw!

Annoying feature/bug?
Cocos
AUGUST 10, 2023
The reason is that our editor doesn’t run scene if there is no modification or no executing components, for the sake of performance. If you want to force the editor to run the shader, you can attach a component with executeInEditMode.
