  • Josek what was your solution?

  • Ahhh...Jobel, you responded to quick. LOL. I just added edited my original question with an example - could you review and respond? Thanks much!

  • What I want to do is have a value, let’s say “Name” and attached to that value is another set of values, say “Score” and “Address”. Now I want to arrange the “Names” by the value “Score”, but I want the other values (“Name”, “Address”, etc.) to stick with that “Score” value such that I may be able to access “Address” in the order that the “Scores” are ranked.

    How would I do that?

    I’ve reviewed plenty about arrays, sorting, multiple dimension arrays, etc., and I think the solution is right there in front of me, but my brain begins to haze up - am I am overthinking it.

    For example: If there is a two dimensional array where the Y dimension is “Names” and the X dimension is “Scores”, and I sort by the X dimension (“Scores”) will the Y dimension (“Names”) move with the X dimension (“Names”)? In other words, if I have a particular Score at position (3,1) and its corresponding Name is at position (3,2), and if I sort and the Score goes to position (4, 1) will the Name attached to that “Score” automatically go to position (4,2)?

    Thanks!

  • Super Thanks, BlackHornet!

    Follow-up Question: Why don't any of the "available" tutorials (video or otherwise) have that language in their solutions, but they apparently still work?

    Again mucho thanks!

  • My bad...thanks Blackhornet. Here's the link to the single file:

  • I've spent 2 days on this darn blasted problem. All I want to do is load values into an array and then do a search in the array for a value and if it is in the array to then populate a text box. I've looked at all the tutorials/videos and it just ain't working.

    Here's a link to the capx file: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8diIdBYzw0cc3lZRFF1R21nOFk

    What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks much!

  • AllanR, what php/MySQL tutorials did you find to be the most helpful? I'm a newbie and need to ramp up on this pretty quickly. Thx, Jefferson

  • ok...thx.

  • Can somebody tell me what's going on here with my plug-in issues. I tried to show the image here on the post, but I guess I'm not quite understanding how to do that.

    I uploaded to Google drive and got a shareable link, but that didn't seem to allow me to embed in this post. If someone wants to explain that process too, I'd appreciate it.

    Thanks in advance!

  • What I want to do is have a subwindow in my game that when a button is clicked it will link to a youtube video (or other website) video and play inside the game subwindow. Suggestions? Thank you.

  • Good afternoon Rex,

    I downloaded the file which installs the plugins to the Construct2 root folder and it downloaded them. But when I try to run the capx to see how to use them it shows me a window saying it is "unable to load plugin and cannot open file C:\...\common.js".

    Help, please...

  • Mekon thanks for your suggestion - I will check it out and use it.

    I do want to learn how to do it in the more technical way (I'm a pretty fast learner after I've seen it once), so if you know the steps to do that or someplace on the web that has a step-by-step guide, I'd appreciate that, too.

    But, I still REALLY appreciate the heads-up on bitballoon! Thx.

  • OK. I've spent the better half of three days trying to figure this out. I built a game, admittedly it's a large file 60mb. I want to put it on a website so it can be beta tested via a browser - preferably, I don't want folks to have to download it to play it. I've reviewed all the tutorials/forum pages for help and obviously I am missing something.

    I even downloaded Dreamweaver to try loading them in, but Wix doesn't offer a FTP and if Wordpress does, I can't seem to locate it. Now I am using the free versions of both Wix and Wordpress.org - maybe that's the problem. I have no idea.

    I did try to do it the easy way by uploading to the Scirra Arcade and then embed the link, but I keep getting a "413 Request Entity Too Large" issue during the upload.

    What I have done is complete the C2 exports - the files are ready to be exported - but when I go to Wordpress or Wix to figure out where to upload the files this is where I get shutdown. I believe I understand the concept of the html language to embed in an iframe. But, where do the files from the C2 export actually go?

    Preferably I would like a step-by-step process or guidance. Or maybe someone tells me I am overthinking this. Nonetheless, I am stuck.

    Thx.

  • Thank you LaMar!
