  • It looks like the problem is that since the AJAX plugin added support for 'On upload progress', cross-domain requests have changed from simple requests to "preflighted" requests. These make an OPTIONS request before carrying out the real request. It looks like your server is configured to respond with Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * for GET requests but not OPTIONS requests, so it now fails with a CORS error as the preflight request is not allowed. So I don't think it's a bug, it's just that the way requests are made has changed, and you now need to update your server configuration. There's more information in the MDN guide on CORS and I added a note about this to the AJAX manual entry.

  • You can use any past release at any time - you can find them all on the releases page. The main URL at editor.construct.net will always load the latest stable release, and as new users should get the latest version, I don't think that will ever change.

  • The only change was the addition of the 'On upload progress' trigger, which should not have affected any existing projects at all. I'm afraid it's impossible to say any more without the details provided by a bug report, as we need that information to be able to investigate.

  • This is what the Addon SDK is for.

  • Try pressing F12 and check for any errors in the browser console.

    You might want to check your server cache settings as well - it's possible the server is serving mixed content (i.e. some files from an old version, and some files from the new version) which would likely break things. You should make sure there isn't some caching setup that might do that.

  • It would be nice, but it's a major project - it would involve running the TypeScript compiler and language service in the editor. It'd probably involve upgrading the script editor as well. If I could snap my fingers and it was done, I'd definitely do it, but things are usually not that easy! In the mean time using an external editor like VS Code is a pragmatic approach that should still work pretty well. You could also file a suggestion for this as if it collected a lot of votes we'd be more likely to prioritize it.

  • I don't think there's anything wrong on our side - it looks like the connection on your end is being closed. My best guess is browser extensions, overzealous security software, privacy settings, or VPNs interfering somehow.

  • It seems to be working fine for me. Try disabling any browser extensions you have installed - those can sometimes interfere with Construct and break it. Also try pressing F12 and see if there is a more detailed error message in the browser console.

  • All are possible, but the amount of work they might involve could vary a lot, and that is hard to predict. And as ever we've received something like 5+ year's worth of feature requests this year alone, and so these also have to be balanced against everything else that's been submitted.

  • Is the speed 0? If so it is not moving and so has no angle of motion - you need to set a speed first.

  • It did look like builds had started failing for some reason - I just rebooted the server and it looks like it's working again now. Apologies for the inconvenience, hopefully it was a one-off.

  • It's also possible it's correct: maybe you have an opaque layer on top of everything that is hidden in the editor.

  • It looks like something is messing with your browser's network requests and breaking things. As Construct's error message says this is commonly caused by browser extensions, so try disabling them, or try a different browser. More recently apparently some VPNs have been causing similar problems too, so try disabling that or changing its settings if you have a VPN.

    Asking someone who has purchased Construct 3 to do something for you may be a way to circumvent the subscription requirement for certain features, so closing this thread.

  • That means you opened dev tools for the editor, not preview. The message includes the text: "Note: this is the developer tools console for the Construct editor. If you're looking for developer tools for preview, be sure to open developer tools for the preview window instead."

    Make sure the preview window is focused when you press F12.
