  • Hello,

    In my game, I'm using an exported GB Studio game inside of an iframe, as shown here:

    To achieve this, I just imported all gb studio generated files and imported them in the Files folder in the Project Manager (while redirecting everything to be outside of folders).

    This works fine, but I want to be able to get C3's variables from inside the Script.JS file. I've looked around, but I still can't quite grasp how to achieve that.

    I've tried creating a main.js file, and tried referencing it in the gb.html file, which loads the emulator, but since the Script.JS code is only called when the iframe is created, I get a "main.js:5 Uncaught ReferenceError: runOnStartup is not defined" error.

    Any help is appreciated!

  • Sorry for the double post - I ended up figuring it out by using Query String values.

    So instead of calling the iframe to open "gb.html", I call it to open: 

    "gb.html?game=" & gg_gamename

    Where gg_gamename is a variable that contains the rom name that I want the emulator to open. I plan to also add query strings for each button, so the player can use the same controls as C3 inside of the gb emulator.
