  • I have started a new project and can save normally...for now, at least.

  • So I've started some work on a new project, and apparently I cannot save anything. This is the first time in 11 years using Construct that I've had this happen.

    When trying to save a single file, save a project folder, or download a copy, i get this:

    And when I try to save it to cloud, I get this:

    What is going on?

  • Yes, it all seems to work fine now. Thanks for the help.

  • Because the numbers contain commas, they are sorted as text, alphabetically. For example "209" goes before "21", because as a character "0" is less than "1".

    You need to remove commas in the array, then they will be treated as numbers. And then format these numbers before displaying them. For example:

    Set text to int(number/1000) & "," & (number%1000)

    That seems to do the job, but all numbers should have 3 decimals, for instance 30 is represented as 30.0 when it should be 30.000.

  • Can you share a demo project?

    Hope the link works. Press the blank button on top and then the "Coefficients" button.

  • So I'm using an array which should sort numbers from biggest to lowest. I'm using separators (3 decimals), so it's for example: 12.500, 10.250, 8.666 etc. But apparently C3 sees this as some weird alien concept and doesn't sort them properly. The numbers are just all over the place, and I'm not sure I'm seeing any pattern of why is it so. Also I've tried both . and , - doesn't matter. Do I really have to make some kind of workaround for this or am I missing something?

  • A quick buck gig for anyone skilled/interested. An area where the player moves and fights the eneimes, but the key here is enemy behaviour. Just a simple example with every behavior state fully functional. Might take anywhere from a couple of hours to a day or two, depending on the skill and free time allocated, of course).

    I'm not going to go full-in on the details here, but the basic rundown is as follows:

    -Top-down roguelike styled game

    -32x32 grid

    -A moderate number of instance variables

    -Multiple enemy types and behaviors (might include Pathfinding or whatever suits you best) reacting to the player

    -Some visual additions

    -Making sure all the logic is functional of course

    No rush needed to get it done.

    Anyone interested can contact me via mail at kroftek@gmail.com and I'll hand out the full job description, and from there on we'll see if we can strike a deal.

    I'm not sure about the cost of this so I'll communicate this with the interested party before/during the process.

  • I think I've figured it out, it seems to work using families and instance variables. Thanks for the reply.

  • I was wondering is it somehow possible to have, say 20 arrays with the same structure, and then in any moment name a global variable after one of the arrays, and then manipulate that specific array? And if it isn't, why not? :D

    My opinion is that, at least for a project with a pretty big database, it's better to have cca. 50 arrays with 500 elements, rather than a single one with 25000 elements. (not sure about C3's performance array-wise though).

  • Greetings, I need some help with the card game I'm trying to make. The player has up to 10 cards in his hand, and they are displayed in such manner that they are slightly overlapping from right to left (think of games such as Hearthstone or Slay the Spire etc). When the player hovers the cursor over a card, it stands out from the rest. Its size is slightly increased, and it is placed on top of the layer so it can be seen clearly. When it's not above the card (else), the size resets back, however I can't figure out how to bring the card back to its original Z-order. Whatever I do, the card just stands out from the rest.

    Any ideas?

  • I'm making a football simulation program, or at least trying to. I have a main data array where the team stats are, and then I load that data into a side array to sort/reverse the data to be appropriately displayed according to ranking, etc. (it's being sorted by the X axis)....however, the array is 3D - there are 4 groups, and each group takes one Z sheet; for instance group 1 is Z0, group 2 is Z1...the issue is that sorting only sorts the first Z sheet. Am I missing something here, can I sort the X axis on every Z sheet?

  • Man, C3 sometimes really is full of surprises. How come I overlooked this one? Thanks for the heads up.

  • Let's say I'm making a top-down, turn based RPG (or roguelike/roguelite/whatever). So upon first entering a particular level, all the items, monsters, etc., basically all interactable items are set and ready to be interacted with. So, say I pick up some items and kill some monsters (not all of them), and then I exit the level, and go try another one. When I come back to the mentioned level, the items and monsters with which I interacted shouldn't be there anymore. Basically the state of every level is saved every time I exit it and reloaded when I come back again. I do have several ideas on this, but I'm not sure if those would be the way to go, or would those be too demanding resource-wise, or just require massive additional time to set it up properly, but maybe there are more experienced people on this matter, so my question is, what is the best way to do this? Am I missing something easy along the way?

  • I was wondering are there any ways to sort an array by an particular column, something like a sports league table where the teams are sorted by points?
