  • Hello, so I just started using construct today because I joined a team that's using it. But I'm quite good at just javascript alone and rather leave as much of the construct overhead to the rest of the team as I can.

    So what I'm asking is: are they any limitations to what you can do in the Javascript sdk, like can or how do you access other instances from custom plugin's or behaviours?

    What I mean is if I have an instance of say a cat, can I program it's behaviour to detect whether there's a dog with coordinates near it's own?

    Also, where do I go to learn more about construct's api: I'm seeing a lot of global functions and methods being called from the "cr" object

  • There are really no limitations except those of javascript, and html.

    Above where it says Manual there's the sdk documentation https://www.scirra.com/manual/15/sdk

    As far as your detection thing it can done via events using a little system knowledge of "for each", and distance(), or if you must have a behavior the Line of Sight behavior will do the same. Might check that out.
