  • Hey everybody!

    I'm still very new to Construct and I'm working on a small project to speed up the learning. I've been using 'Trigger once' multiple times now but in one case it simply doesn't work and I fail to see my fallacy.

    In the following two cases nothing changes except for the bottommost event block (under 'Is Start'). Why does the one with 'Trigger once' only work for the first sprite while the other one works for every sprite? Everything I've learned so far about the way picking instances works in construct suggests that both cases should have the same result.

    Case 1:

    Case 2:

  • What the hell?

    So Families are pretty much unusable if I'm developing for mobile? That's awful.

    But a big thank you to you guys for not just giving in and testing and insisting that there's something wrong with Families. Really good to know.

  • Hey there,

    I wanted to give everybody a heads up about this since it seems pretty important. I don't have an iPhoneX so I can't test if the construct engine already deals with this problem automatically.

    I just found out that AdMob has a very close in time deadline for banner positioning on iPhoneX. ("Please review these policy updates and our suggested implementation guide to ensure you're compliant by November 20th.") Banner ads need to be positioned in the safe area on iPhoneX - otherwise you'll be violating AdMob's policies and might suffer the consequences.

    You can find the corresponding blog post here.

  • Thank you so much, that did the trick!

  • Hey everybody,

    I tried to find an answer to this but wasn't succesful. Remote Preview is really cool but I couldn't find a way to test the game full screen the way it would actually look when released. Is there a way to accurately preview a game on mobile without going through hoops and having to build, sign and so on? Am I missing something?

    Edit: To be exact - I can't get rid of the status and chrome adress bar on mobile which of course distorts the size of the preview. Adding the preview site to my homescreen doesn't change anything (whereas adding the construct 3 editor to the homsecreen gets rid of everything opening like an actual app).

    Cheers!

  • Hey everybody,

    I'd love to give C3 a shot for developing mobile games so I tried to find some official information on the state of scirra's own mobile services but my search didn't yield clear answers (I'm talking about Game Center, Google Play Services, Ads and In-App Purchases). Are these available and fully functioning at this point in time (if the answer is no: is there any information if they'll be available in the near future)?

    Cheers!

  • Have you guys found a way to use app mode on mac with multiple screens?

    App mode is fantastic but so far it's unusable on mac with multiple screens for me. You can't pull windows out of the main window which means you have to stretch the main window over multiple screens leading to tons of annoyances.

    —

    The only thing I found so far is that you can go to System Preferences > Mission Control, and uncheck the box for "Displays Have seperate Spaces" That way you should be able to have A chrome window extend over to your second screen as well. I can't test it here, since I don't have a second screen.

    Try it out and tell me if that works.

    I'll post over in your thread so we don't go too far ot in this thread.

    Okay, I somehow killed my post in your thread and am now unable to post it again. It doesn't appear for me but everytime I try to post it my post count goes up by one. Very strange.

    So here's a short version of my post:

    It enables you to stretch windows over multiple screens but unfortunately the result is very annoying to work with and only slightly usable if both screens have the same resolution. Even then you have a giant window stretching over multiple displays leading to enormous annoyances (like having to do minutes of undocking and reordering everything every time you start the app).

    [quote:3c92cjqx]I don't seem to have the "Add to Desktop" option in More tools. Unless I'm missing something?

    Havok Sadly that awesome feature is disabled in Chrome for Mac. However there is still a way <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink"> https://www.lessannoyingcrm.com/blog/20 ... e+on+a+Mac

    Does this allow using multiple screens? My desktop app on Mac works fine but I can't pull windows out of the main window. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad">

    Hijacking?

    Every question I have posed has been directly related to the complaints of the OP and many other people on this thread.

    No one forces you to read or respond to my posts.

    No, you're repeating the same stuff over and over again everywhere.

    You're a firebug, you're forcing Ashley or Tom to repeatedly read your posts and respond to them.

    I'm usually only reading on this forum but I'm getting sick of the way you're hijacking threads lamar. Could you please stop with this nonsense. Critique and discussions in a civilized manner are a great thing but you're constantly hijacking threads, mixing up or completely changing the many concerns of the opening or follow up posts to fit your agenda and then repeatedly target Ashely and Tom with an incredible amount of posts that never lead anywhere and finally destroy the whole thread.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • You do not have permission to view this post

  • Scirra wil not add that things because many users like Rexrainbow make good job adding they addons for free.

    for example Construct 2 without many well maded third party plugins is...

    Well that's the point, right? That sort of stuff doesn't work anymore if instead of charging once you suddenly charge the same amount yearly. You should be able to provide the most important features yourself then.

  • No, that's a very important question!

    I've been looking for an answer myself but haven't found anything as of yet. Thank you for bringing this up in a thread, I hope we'll get some clarification!

  • szymek Oh, I didn't know that you could call people that way. Thank you!

    Ashley Good to know, thank you for taking the time to answer!
