  • I'm trying to get Construct to perform a calculation if a certain variable is set a certain way. But I cannot figure out how.

    The global variable cfcf can only be C or F. If it is C I want it to convert the value of OVTEMP (imagine OVTEMP is normally in fahrenheit) using the formula OVTEMP * 9 / 5 + 32 and then storing the new number in OVTEMP.

    It is impossible. I've tried a thousand different things and none work. I could even do this in BASIC in seconds but I cannot find the right way to talk to javascript to get it to do something so simple. Where am I going wrong?

  • Try Construct 3

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Not sure about global scope but you can access the local variables with localVars.variable.

    Picture from old post on how to set global variables in js

    So i guess you should try to use runtime.globalvars.YOURVARIABLE and then set it to your JS variable, example FOO
