Hi,
I recorded a video on youtube, linked here that walks through my project and my question. youtu.be/aGWzG_T1wYc
Essentially, I have an rpg game where I have 100 items that a player could make. Within that is up to 5 different raw materials and individual costs. Currently, I am using AJAX to pull a text file for EACH array I have. In other words, I have 12 arrays just for one item that can be made at the crafting table. Each array feeds from a unique text file. So I have 12 text files.
Name
Frame # from my loot sprite object
Raw Mat 1...to 5....if there are 5.
Raw Mat Cost for each Raw Mat for a max of 5.
This all functions however it is very tedious because I have many, many text files. I'd rather use one massive Microsoft Excel sheet to house the data and save it as something that I can upload into my Construct 3 project and feed off that. However, I have struggled to learn XML and JSON and I cannot wrap my head around it so now I am throwing up my white flag of surrender and asking for help.
I see there's a new CSV plugin but it seems to have limited functionality. I don't see a way to have each row be a different item# and the columns be the attributes. I'd love it if there was a way for it to work for my problem since I can make .csv files from Excel sheets.
Thanks!
