You can see an example of that in the Score system of this tutorial.

Varies in this case means that you have a default value for the instance variable (likely "False") that you can check by selecting the Object Type that contains the variable directly in the Object Type folder of the project's bar and you have an instance of that object type which instance variable's value is set to "True", resulting in the fact that the defaulting value in turns "varies" in your edittime configuration.

Just make sure to select the instance, the value set for the instance will stick to it, or at worst, in your event sheet, on start of layout, do some initialisation and set the instance boolean variable's value to True. All instances of your object type will have their instance variable value set to true, but it should do the trick.

manuelsanmartin: It does work on browser for Android. It should work for Android exported apps as well as long as you manage to get the Browser object to open to a distant URL as well.
nikosurfing: As far as I'm aware, you have to set the metadata for facebook in order to share an image (the image is set in Facebook's page/application configuration).
The image HAS to be uploaded and set in the config, so URI won't likely cut it.

For Twitter, as far as I'm aware it is not doable through the URL/Browser/this method at all (neither URI or uploaded image).

Using the browser object and using the URLs provided by Facebook and Twitter will allow you to post and share whatever you want from your game.

Use the "Open URL in new window" action and provide the appropriate URL/message.

myVariable is a variable (possibly global) that value is either text or numbers.

For Twitter :

"twitter://post?text=" & urlencode("My message with #hashtags and directed @twitterhandle and concatening " & myVariable & " as a value.")[/code:3dwyv7f8]

For FaceBook
[code:3dwyv7f8]"https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?app_id=APP_ID_SECRET_KEY&sdk=joey&u=" & urlEncode("URL_THAT_SHARES_AND_IS_SET_IN_THE_FB_APP_TO_SHARE) & "&picture="& UrlEncode("URL_TO_YOUR_PICTURE_APP_IF_YOU_HAVE_SOME") &"&display=popup&ref=plugin&src=share_button&quote=My message with #hashtags and concatening " & myVariableValue & " as a value."[/code:3dwyv7f8]

You have to know though that on iOS/some mobiles for this to work, you have to use the button plugin only that will count as a user action.
Using CSS it is possible to make the button invisible under/over a sprite and still have a good looking app, but this all depends on your program.

In July 2016

New releases
- Release 231 Beta - Maintenance update with bug fixes
The features listed here are only the "highlighted" features for each release. Check each release page to see the complete changelog and comments for each version)

Be sure to keep updated to the
most recent release of Construct 2

If you think you have found a bug in Construct 2 you can report it in this forum BUT
- Make sure it is not already a reported bug by searching through the "Bugs" forum
- Make sure it is not a bug in your events, a difference between what you have coded and what you would expect
- Make sure you're using the very latest version of Construct 2 (beta possibly, stable if this is the very latest release available)
- Attach a .capx of the issue in the simplest manner possible (no 100+ events capx, no 10 mb capx)
- Make sure to read Bug report requirements before posting and providing all the required informations (your configuration, the steps to use to reproduce the bug, any relevant information you can provide)
It is really important since about 50% of reports aren't bugs which takes time out of working on Construct2 directly.

Be responsible, help everybody by making sure it's not your events in cause first.

- v0.16.0 (Chromium 52) [Requires r217+]

Don't use zippyshare, it is a shady host.

Consider hosting your files somewhere else.

For now your plugin is not officially listed until you change your hosting and don't have any more users having virus warnings about your files.

RBuster I don't see any hatred or rudeness in BillAlex's comment.
Possibly someone whose main language is not English and has made a few English mistakes in their post (I do too), but nothing outrageous or directly intended to be rude or unhelpful.

Moreover you state it yourself, the answer helped you fill in the blanks, so in the end, there was no need for your tirade about rudeness and hatred.

If you mean a txt file on your server, this actually depends on your server-side script which will do the work of receiving the AJAX call and saving the value it gets onto the server's hard drive.

As such, it depends on the language used and is out of the scope of Construct 2 itself.

I'm pretty sure this is already the case ("Save" relies on local storage, not webstorage) since, as you mention, webstorage support has been dropped some time ago already.

You can check this tutorial that only mentions local storage as an alternative to the "save" system action.

Edit: NVM, appcache is not appmanifest.

Apparently it contains informations about the icons for the game as a web application.

Again, might depends on the server configuration/MIME type.

Make the creation happen in a function.

For example

On function "CreateSquare" => Do your creation code.

Add an event Square - On created

And add a condition : Square is overlapping Circle

=> Destroy Square

=> Function "CreateSquare" (so that it creates another instance)

Do the same for your Circle and this should make sure that instances are not overlapping.

To create them at different time, I'm afraid you may need to change your "every random" event to something more determined, and have the timings calling the creation of instances depend on the other.

Example capx (2017-05-11).

For "push" to work properly, you need to be sure to set the size (width) of the array to 0 in the first place.

Then Width - 1 corresponds to the maximum X index you can reach in your array.

You can do it with any exporter if you use the "find()" expression with some specific keyword.

It all depends on what data structure you are using (arrays ? dictionaries ?...), cycle through them with a function and try to find(keyword).

Find() is a text system expression.

So yes it is possible to create a search function, whatever the export you use is.

It nevertheless depends on the type of data structure you are using and so depends on the implementation of your project.
