    I noticed a lot of the assets are on multiple stores. I also noticed the prices for the unlimited use license don't seem to match the price on the other stores which typically seem to suggest unlimited use.

    In fact the single use license seems to match the unlimited use on the other stores.

    Why would I buy anything here?

    I can explain why, probably not for all cases, but it might justify some cases.

    When the closed beta of the store was on, we as sellers, had to include the Single Use license, it was a compulsory choice. Then, Unlimited and Exclusive licenses were additional options. We couldn't choose Unlimited without choosing Single Use.

    Therefore, I guess, many opted to put the item on sale knowing that buyers will use anyway the license in several projects. Having the unlimited option was forcing us to ask for a much higher price. I can't recall exactly how much it was before, but now it has to be a minimum of 3 times more.

    Me and other seller pushed to have the option to sell only as Unlimited or Exclusive, without having to set a price for Single Use, and then later Scirra's Team did the change.

    What happened is, or at least I think, that many sellers didn't want to change again the price settings or didn't notice the new option, and therefore what could have been an Unlimited license since the beginning, now is set a Single Use license.

    Of course, some seller might put intentionally the license in that way, in that case, I suggest you ask directly to the seller why on other stores is selling with unlimited use and not on Scirra's Store.

  • Good to know R0J0hound :-)

  • Get 2 different types of Sprite Fonts + a plugin for Construct 2 that allows you to animate in several ways all Sprite Fonts!

  • You are welcome :-)

  • Thank you, in the later videos I have increased the Construct font size to show better what I am writing.

    For your issue add a sub event, if sprite is visible, then Array.at(X,Y,Z) = 1, else 0.

    That should do the trick.

    You've been of great help BTW :)

    You are welcome :-)

    I was wondering, for the same result, can I replace 'for "x" from O to TabHeight-1" with something like 'for each "row of my array"' ?

    You could use the condition for each element, but I never use it. I prefer to have total control of the starting and end point of the loop, because I might want to exclude some values in the future. Let's say you don't want to put something in the cell at the boundary of a bidimensional array, then you do the loop from 1 to Array.width - 2.

    I have done some tutorials related to Array in my course to develop a card game with battlegrid, you might want to have a look at the various topic or even better follow it since the beginning, to see how I use arrays and why:

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • I think I get it : Sprite #0 is sprite i did put myself on my layout on the editor. I removed it and everything is fine now !!

    Well, you typed faster than me :D

  • Check if the sprite is there due to other events or because it's in the editor layout.

    Best thing you could do to perform a quick check is to disable on start of layout line.

  • TabHeight has a value of how many rows your array has. So if the Array has 6 rows, TabHeight has a value of 6.

    When you do the loop in line 3, you should do from 0 to TabHeight -1, otherwise your loop is done 7 times and not 6.

    I have done several tutorials on Arrays to create a card game with battle grid.

    You might want to have a look at it if something isn't clear with Arrays.

    Check the titles and description of the videos to know which one might do for you. If you have time of course, it would be better to follow then since the beginning.

  • Get a Construct 2/3 template for create a pixel art Horizontal Shooter + Art + Sprite Font + Lots of Chiptune Music and SFX!

    https://www.construct.net/en/game-assets/bundles/8-bit-pixel-art-game-49

  • You can import not only completed games, but even templates that can be more or less at a finished state or just a little example.

    The Asset Store has both.

    Here for example you can see a template I made for an horizontal shooter in 8-bit style:

    https://www.construct.net/en/game-assets/game-templates/8-bit-pixel-art-shooter-361

    You can try it in the Arcade:

    https://www.construct.net/en/free-online-games/test-demo-8-bit-pixel-art-4962/play

    Here instead I have created a template for a First Person Shooter on Rails:

    https://www.construct.net/en/game-assets/game-templates/fps-rails-template-363

    You can try this too:

    https://www.construct.net/en/free-online-games/test-demo-fps-rails-template-4963/play

    You can also have a look at bundles, for example, I have joined here other creators in order to offer at a discounted price many different types of templates for games:

  • > Good idea redfoc!

    >

    > Are you planning to add features like subscription for user so you can offer something more to the ones that pay a certain fee?

    This feature seem complicated and may not added soon or never, but let me put it on ideas list.

    That's the only one I am really interested in, I will keep an eye on your future development :-)

  • Since it's something that happens rarely, you could let the player download a file on their computer with the data you need and then give the option to load it with the new game.

    It could be a JSON from an Array for example.

  • You should add a screenshot of your code and the settings of your array.

    If you need help to learn arrays, I have done some tutorial during my course for the creation of a card game with battle grid. I am using Construct 2 in the videos, but it works with Construct 3 too.

    You can check some of this video that might help you:

    The Array is used in other videos of the course, but these should help you to understand even without following the course since the beginning.

    I hope it helps :-)

    That's because sellers aren't following anymore the store.

    We have received communication plenty ahead and the ones that care about selling in the new store have already done the move since a while.

    Would you prefer to buy something that doesn't have anymore support from the seller and then ask for a refund?
