  • bumping as this is still an issue in Construct 2 and also in Construct 3

  • Problem Description

    Construct 2 will not show test ads or live after exporting a UWP app and running in Visual Studio 2015. The adds will only show if you are on r227 or lower. You can choose any size ad or ad location and same results no ads show unless you are using r227 or lower. I randomly checked r233, r239, r244 and r246 with same results no ads are displayed when testing in Visual Studio.

    Attach a Capx

  • The problem is after r227 any version of Construct 2 after that no test ads display or live ads when using Visual Studio for UWP apps. Workaround is to install r227 or below and ads will show in Visual Studio when testing.

    This issue is even worse in Construct 3 I opened a bug for Construct 3 here https://github.com/Scirra/Construct-3-bugs/issues/720

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Bl4cksh33p,

    After looking at your deeplink you're only supporting x86 and notice how it only says PC and not mobile under your screenshots? Makes sure in VS your selecting ARM as well when creating the package. Also check Pricing and availability>Windows 10 device families>check Mobile if its not already checked. If its not you will need to submit a new meta data update.

  • Hi all,

    Check out Poccer on the Windows Store its a cross between Pong and soccer. Any feedback welcome

  • Awesome! That worked now I just need to clean it up a bit. Thanks alot blackhornet!!!

  • Hi Blackhornet,

    When I moved my events out of level 1 after i reach a score of 200 it looks like it goes to the next level but the player doesnt move and nothing else happens

  • Hi all,

    I have a bit of an issue. I'm trying to set up level selection with unlocks. I got the images to appear correct but after I complete level 1 it just loops back to level 1 instead of going to the next level to unlock. I have my variables set up basically if score = 200 go to next level. then if score = 400 go to next level etc... If any one can help point what I'm missing I would be a very happy person!!

    Capx for reference

  • Hi Dj and Ram

    I did try the Z order method but the issue i run into the lava stays the same width, so if the blocks are randomly generated sometimes I'm running in the lava. Have included my CAPX so you can see exactly whats going on and if you have any ideas let me know.

    CAPX

  • lets say lava or spikes in the runner Capx that comes with Construct2. I see there are random blocks spawning but when I try to add lava or spikes they always appear behind the player. I'm not sure the best way to approach this. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Hi Korbaach,

    Thanks!!

  • Hi Korbacch,

    I ran into a bit of an issue. I got the web storage set up but its not saving the high score only the score when I hit the ground. I have Top 10 scores set up but it only replaces #1

    Here's the CAPX so you can see where I went wrong.

  • Hi Korbaach,

    Aaaahhhh I see now about the HUD, makes sense doh!! My next step was working on the high score which I see you did an awesome job with as well as cleaning it up a bit, really appreciate it. I have a few good forum posts saved for the web storage I'm going to try and follow up on them. If i run into any issues I'll let you know.

    thanks again for the help saved me a few hours of head smashing the keyboard!!!
