API integration

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to integrate an API in my HTML5 game. The javascript for that is in index.html. I am able to call that function from Contruct 2 by using CallJS plug in. But how will I able to call a function of Contruct 2 from javascript ?

Or, to be specific,, I want to make an event happen in Contruct2 after the API get ended.

Thanx in advance.

Do you have a personal or business license, for if not it is not allowed to make money from Construct 2.

I'm asking because you dont have the medal on your avatar.

One simple thing you could do, if you don't want to write a plugin, would be to check every tick a variable in the page, or the result of a function in the page. You can call the ExecJS function inside a "System:Compare two values" for example.

More detail example :

I have in my page a function "A" that collects informations to be send to C2. Each time I have to send informations to C2, I call this function, it stores datas.

I have another function "B" that displays this information in a string encoded how it fits me. When this function is called, the stack of informations to be send to C2 will be emptied.

Now in C2, in an EveryTick event, I would start by setting a local variable to the result of the call to the function "B" via an ExecJS. Then, I would read this variable. Explode, JSON decode->put it in an array, whatever fits, and do a for each to treat every action.

I am trying the software before buying it. So, I am trying all features we will need.

Guizmus: Can you please provide a quick capx for this. I tried your solution, but I am missing something and I don't know which. PLEASE

Can't provide a capx, it all depends on your API for the actual integration. Mostly, it would go something like this :

Guizmus: I basically want that from javascript, I could do something which will make my connection back to Construct 2. So after completion of an javascript function, I should return back to construct 2 and continue further.

Putting all in a nutshell, Is there a way to change value of a variable in construct 2 from javascript function ?? That is all I needed to solve my question

The the solution I described should work then.

You should be able to update a variable in C2 from the webpage by looking into the runtime object, in a javascript debugger too though. C2 is running on the page, so you could change the variable there. But as this wouldn't trigger a function in C2, having an interface between the page and C2 is more versatile.

Guizmus: So does that mean the value returned by function (in your case my_functionB) is getting loaded in the array ?

In that case, cant I directly set value of a variable to Browser.ExecJS("my_functionB")

Yes of course. I used array to carry multiple datas at once.

Thanx for a satisfactory reply. I will do this and tell you the result soon.
