I can not solve the problem with the discovery and preservation of stars.

For example, a player passes the first level and on it he can get up to 3 stars. There is no problem. I just think every selected star at the end of the layout, I give the message you have passed the level of 3 stars.

The problem is that there is a layout with a choice of levels. I open the levels (in the screenshot), that is, I have 1 box with 2 animations (closed or open) and I have a star (I copied it to 3x)

But how to light these stars, depending on how many stars the user has spared, I do not understand.

I can solve this problem by creating 100 global variables, but I understand that this is not correct.

Then you might store the array or other values in local storage: construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/plugin-reference/local-storage

Yes, I generally understand how saving works, but I don't understand how to save an array. Save the entire array can not? Can you just save each cell as a key?

The Array docs are pretty good: construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/plugin-reference/array

Arrays have a "AsJSON" and "Load" actions or expressions that let you get the array contents as a single string (AsJSON) and then reconstitute it (Load).

Yes, I just started to understand how arrays work.

Do I understand correctly that your example is still responsible for opening levels?

That is, the system that I showed above at the opening of the levels is not quite suitable and good?

I just understand it.

I was only showing how to store the number of stars in an array, and save that in local storage.

in your screenshot you store the level name as an instance variable, and that is perfectly fine - I just didn't want to make a lot of levels...

I'm sorry for the meticulousness, I just want to understand how to work with the array as much as possible))) I apologize for the clarifying questions.

What does this expression mean?

100 + 125 * loopindex% 5

150 + 150 * floor (loopindex / 5)

Not all technical language, I still understand.

that line creates all the level sprites in a grid to evenly space them out.

you don't have to do it that way - you can have them already placed on the layout.

it takes a short while to load the array data from local storage, so the game wont know which levels are locked or unlocked when the layout starts. You might want to set the level sprites as invisible until the array is loaded and you can set the correct animation, and show how many stars have been earned.

Many thanks for such a detailed example. I will deal with him)
