  • spy84 actually he's been doing a lot of work updating the plugin, and odds are what he's doing will greatly change the method of working with the object for the better (I believe in-plugin-in-editor object placement was planned?)

    The best way to learn new or experimental things like this is to play around with it. I know that's not a great option, but it's definitely one of the most advanced Construct 2 plugins I've ever seen and will take time to learn (almost like a whole new engine )

  • The Browser plugin has the ability to run Javascript: https://www.scirra.com/manual/110/browser

    Try storing the results of this Javascript: "new Date()" to a text variable and see if that gives the info you're looking for <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • You can try storing the global variables into the array on save and then when loading set them from array

  • I think it's actually running both of those: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.o ... arison.php

    PHP is kinda like C languages, you need to use == when doing a check (= sets a value) <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

    Still, I'd love if every language was a quick and simple as BASIC <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz">

  • I think Pin is dependent on timescale, so if you stop time then the player will no longer position to the playerbox, the second method should work whether timescale is 0 (stopped) or not. I think performance-wise it's not a huge difference either way though

  • Nope, usually for variables/expressions there should never be quotes I think, and awesome glad to hear it's working!

  • Remove the quotes from "SaveArray.AsJSON" so it's just SaveArray.AsJSON should do it (otherwise the only thing saved is the literal text: "SaveArray.AsJSON"

    Hope that helps

  • He's using the latest beta, you can grab that from: https://www.scirra.com/construct2/releases/r174

  • you could try:

    Create at:

    X = choose(random(5, 630), random(650, 1270))

    Y = choose(random(5, 350), random(370, 710))

    I don't know how well that will work, but what it's basically doing is:

    Choose () = pick a random option from list of options

    so for X: spawn on left side of player, or right side of player (assuming player is at center 640, 360) and about 10 pixels away from exact center

    then for Y: spawn on top or bottom side of player

  • brunopalermo Ahh, I can see that reading of it now looking back at his request. I was thinking he was reporting what currently happens rather than what he'd like to happen. Thanks!

  • brunopalermo ahh okay, also I was suggesting he instead adds to MAX_PV, as it sounds like he wants players to get a health bonus that auto-regenerating can go back to, but they lose that bonus on death. Either way works though

  • The pixel rounding at render? I don't believe so, all it does is stop things from rendering at sub-pixel amounts by rounding to nearest whole pixel.

  • If you mean for rendering, then the project Properties bar does support Pixel rounding (change from Off to On). However, for calculations I believe you'll have to use rounding via ceil(your value), floor(your value), or round(your value).

  • Glad to hear <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile"> This page seems to be helpful for parsing the JSON in PHP: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7986 ... est-in-php

  • toby3d Again, the best method is probably downloading Fre:ac and putting it in the same folder with the CC program, then calling it from the File object with the parameters in the command. This *should* work.

    Try playing around with Fre:ac as it has a command-line option for conversion, you can try to do it from Python too but if you can get it running from Construct then there's no need for including the dependency on Python (unless you're already using Python?)
