  • Publishing with iTunes Connect it says the app contains IDFA and wants to know how it is being used and if it is being honored if the user sets a configuration for IDFA.

    Can you provide any information about IDFA and this plugin?

  • Hi, if i create random data from a site like mockaroo.com, is there a way to import it into a table that your tool creates?

    the site can export data in various formats including .xml, JSON, SQL, CSV, etc.

    thanks

    You can import into either an Array or Dictionary.

    And you have various options to choose from for importing CSV data.

    Delimited (comma, semi-colon,tab,space), Fixed Width, etc.

  • I have tried to generate json strings, save to a .json file and load to C2 using ajax but my dictionary dont populate, so i tried to generate a json string in the dictionary editor and load in my dictionary using events, but dont work again.

    The app is good to edit data, but i dont like to make so many events to just populate my dictionarys and arrays, so please make a working .json file generator in this app, or explain how we can save the json string in a file to load them in the C2 using ajax.

    Using all the injected events and functions will allow you to work with your data in a way that is like working with a database embedded within your app.

    This is more involved of coarse because you must take the time to read the comments on the functions to understand how to use them very much how software developers do to learn a new API.

  • ggibson1 I finally (carefully) created my array, and created the JSON... but Construct 2 doesn't accept the JSON when using the load JSON action. Why is that?

    I found I had to create a capx from the program, then heavily edit it just so I could get my data. The generated CAPX doesn't even create the array. It does, however, generate 139 random events I have no interest in, but understand some people might like them.

    In the end, it just generates the array in the exact same way I would have needed to within C2... which is what I was trying to avoid.

    The whole reason I got the program was so that I could use the load JSON command.

    For me, it's just broken and cumbersome.

    If you carefully read the manual you will see how to export in various ways.

    You can even just copy and paste the generated JSON directly from one of the editing screens into a file to read into C2.

  • . i want buy this application , what i free update for this application

    Sorry your text did not translation into English well enough to really understand.

    The only thing that is free is when I fix a bug and update the package on the store so you can download it again.

    If you look in the PDF manual you will see it mentions copying the JSON out to paste into a file you can then use C2 tools to read in.

    Look for this text and look at the screen shots in that area:

    "12) convert the entire grid into json format into the box at the bottom to be copied into a file to be read into your application at run time"

  • Does this program have an undo function? I spent ages building an array, then dragged a single cell to the far left column to see what would happen, and it suddenly replaced the entire row above, meaning I just lost loads of data. Not realising what happened, I tried again, and just lost another row of data.

    Why is that a feature?

    It does not have an undo feature.

    Dragging a cell around actually moves the row (drag and drop moving of rows).

    It appears you found a bug by dragging a row off into the empty area. I will work on a fix and upload the update ASAP.

    Thanks for the heads up!

  • Is this likely to go on sale anytime soon?

    It has been in the store for a couple years now.

  • Hi !

    I just bought this tool, and it goes beyond what I expected! Currently making a visual novel, I'll find it really useful.

    Thanks and nice work!

    EDIT : Seems like I encountered some issue with the injection feature. When I inject an array (Items from your demo in this case) in a new empty project, the firstRowIsColumnName instance variable is always set on false, whether the corresponding checkbox is checked or no. Did I miss something?

    Thanks for your answer!

    Thanks for using the tool.

    Sorry it took so long to respond ... I did not receive an email when you posted this message.

    firstRowIsColumnName is a family inherited instance variable (from the DataSets family) and as such can only have a specific value set at run time.

    The value you see in the C2 UI is the default family value that is set by default each time you create an instance of the Array object.

  • Hmmm... I'm not sure what I did, but I broke it. I can export my data to a new capx, and Construct2 can't open it.

    Failed to open project....

    ---------------------------------------

    *edit*

    Importing into a blank project appears to have fixed the issue. I'm not quite sure exactly what broke, but I can't get it to fail on a blank project. *shrug* If I imported into existing project or "save all to capx" the resulting capx would break. But If I created one in Construct as blank and then imported, it worked.

    So did you get it figured out?

    If not can you give a single specific example with as many details as possible about how to reproduce it?

    Thanks

  • > Is there a way to do a spell check? Looking at the videos, I see you don't appear to have a way to do it within the software itself, so I was wondering how easy it would be to copy the array from your program into something like excel or word, perform a spell check, then copy from these programs back into your array.

    > Hope that makes sense.

    Hi ggibson1, Do you happen to know the answer to the above question? I'm holding off on purchasing atm due to this.

    Neither an export nor a spell check feature exists in the tool.

    However, I did successfully use this json-to-csv tool to copy the JSON version of data into a CSV and then edit that with Excel … and then import back into C2DataEditor.

  • Is this tool still active?

    It is still being sold and still works like it always did.
