How do I call a construct 2 Function from external js?

Hey all

I want to create a project which is heavily dependant in external javascript code.

Can I call an event sheet function from external js code?

What about vice versa, calling an external js function from construct and receiving return values, for example?

Thanks!

If it's heavily dependent on some JS integration, I strongly recommend the Javascript SDK. You can write your own plugin to do all the integration and present it to the event system.

For smaller one-liner type things, see 'Javascript integration' in the Function object and the Javascript execution features of the Browser object.

Hey Ashley,

I want to work with a 3rd party websocket online engine (smartfoxserver) which has a javascript API, and will shoot events to my custom JS code, and in turn I want the game to act accordingly.

Function and Browser won't be able to achieve this behavior, right? :/

It would be difficult, why not use the Javascript SDK instead then?

I had made a plugin which could run c2 function by a list in Json format

User could generate this Json string at server.

So, you recommend just creating a plugin that will create the instance of the smartfox client, and listen to all events, and trigger conditions when relevant?

It's a hell of a lot of work, it has like 10 or 15 events, about 20 methods I can think of I could use inside the game, not to mention properties...

rexrainbow, I have to say I couldn't exactly figure out what your extension does or how to use it really... Any chance to simplify it a bit? I'm kinda new to construct 2...

For example, there has a function named "print", which has 1 parameter.

User could send command string in json format

["print","hello world"]

to client.

Then client could run this command string by this rex_fncallpkg plugin. It will trigger "print" function defined in event sheet.

Thanks rex needed that

You are welcome.

Since the function call is transferred to a string, it could be saved in variable or passed to another function call.

rex, so it works both ways? I can use it to call a function on my custom js file (just the I can do with the Browser plugin), and call to the eventsheet function using rex_fncallpkg?

When you say "rex_fncallpkg plugin", I assume you're talking about c2 plugin used inside c2. how do I use it in my custom js code?

Ashley's method is for custom js code.

Thanks all, I'll think about creating a plugin for this
