Good morning,

so I want to get a leaderboard data from a server and then display it in my game. I can already got the AJAX request correctly but somehow I can't store it in my array. I looked at a tutorial here: construct.net/en/tutorials/load-fill-array-json-file-2515 but I still can't fill my array

This is my code:

and this is what's shown on the debugger:

I imagined the LeaderboardArray would be filled with what's in the AJAX.lastData but somehow this is not the case.

Thank you for helping.

You can't load this data directly into an array. Arrays in Construct require a specific JSON format.

So you will need to extract high scores from the LeaderboardJSON object. There is a template in C3 demonstrating how to work with JSON object, check it out.

I already checked the tutorial and it seems like a very specific JSON format, if only I knew about it beforehand so I can inform the backend programmer. :(

I think I'll have to wait for another answer or try out something else.
