  • I'm using your plugin on a game I'm making, and sometime I have objects/sprites behind the notification, so when you click on it you also click on the sprite behind which is suppose to do something else when you click on it...

  • here's another thought; a condition to check if the notification is visible, this way if you click on the notification you will not trigger the sprite underneath.

    For example if you have a clickable sprite underneath the notification you can give the condition -

    On click sprite

    if notification not visible ->sprite action...

  • This is GRATE, THANK YOU. At this point this is not just a notification but rather so much more. A must have plugin for any game.

  • Either one can work, but I think text might be more versatile as long as it is BOLD or different color so that it STAND OUT. You see, in my experience people tend to ignore text especially if is long; so having something that stand out it will make them pay attention.

    The problem with clickable notification is that people might not know they can click on it especially if you are using non-clickable notification throughout the game. How can you know the difference? Of course you can say "click here" in your notification text but that might defeat the purpose of having a clickable notification vs clickable text. Also clicking on the X button to close the notification, might trigger clicking on the notification it self.

    So over all I think text it's a better approach.

    As for the go to link/click, I think invoking a function is the best use, since is the most versatile option out there. This way the notification can link to things inside the game as well as outside the game (outside URL).

    Example: Click here for more details on how to discover a secret weapon, or whatever! OR - Click here to brag about this on facebook.

    Thank you

  • Here's another thought; create an object/sprite underneath the text that can be use as a click/touch option. Useful when you want to click on the notification and go to another layout or display more info.

    In a way, similar with what you have now on the side (very nice feature by the way) but underneath. Like "click here for more info" type of situation.

    GRATE plugin by the way, very useful in creating notifications, fast, easy, clean, and very adaptable.

    Thanks again

  • Is firebase just another hosting provider? I already have a server...

    I am working on a Ajax, php, MySQL integration for the chat that I was going to communicate with the multiplayer plugin, since I don't want Ajax to send server request every few seconds; only at start of layout ( for chat history) and when user wright something.

    I currently have several layouts in the game exchanging data with MySQL so I need to host the chat database on my server since I'll be requesting data from different tables.

  • congratulations, good work!

    by the way, what u use for the characters sprite? (software)

  • I'm trying to build a chat system for one on my games, and I got it all figured out except the part with connecting to another host once current host leave.

    You see, if you are in the chat room typing your fingers out, and current host leave, you are left in a dead room with no way to send your message to others... Even if you navigate away from the room and come back, you can't send any more messages to anyone; unless you restart the game and reconnect to server.

    So the question: is there a way to reassign a new host, perhaps send a message to the signaling server and switch tp one of the players in the room? Isn't that something the server suppose to do automatically?

  • Try Construct 3

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Ashley could this be something implemented in construct or do we need to make a plugin for this?

  • I'm trying to request some project files into a function based on the layoutName and while everithing is working fine in preview and html5 export mode. when I sdk with Intel it will not load the files for some reason.

    In Construct I use ajax->request URL - and enter the project file name

    Now, if I use ajax->request project file, everything is working file.

    So, is there a way to request project files by name?

  • Thank you SirG

  • by the way, here's another thought

    the close button "X" show when you mouse over but on mobile phones you don't have that option. Perhaps under properties or default options if you can specify if always show/hide will solve this problem.

  • — I don't know what's more amazing, you or your speedy update!!!

    Thank you, Thank you

    this is awesome.

  • how can I play sounds from external url?

    Perhaps modified the audio plugin to add new action, load/play from url.

  • — it will be nice to have the option of time setting under "add advance notification" action.

    this way some notification can stay longer (or less).

    having the url image option is very cool...
