  • The actual array object is nice and all, but it’s also nice to be able to have arrays be scoped like local or instance variables. It’s also nice to be able to have temporary arrays.

    Exactly what I'm driving at. Not a big deal, nice for workflow. Thanks all for the suggestions :)

  • Hello Nepeo

    If you have the time I was wondering if you might expand a little more on POSTing binary data to a server via AJAX plugin?

    From my research and testing the data is POSTed to a PHP enabled server as an array, however after my different attempts to interpret the data, it all returns an empty array, (& unpacking returns an empty string). Am I missing something?

    Thank you for any help you're able to give :)

  • When you POST Binary Data (image) to a php server via Ajax, where is that binary data placed on the server? do I set the URL to a folder? or a php file that handles the data? I realize this questions is beyond Construct 3 data handling; I just need to be a able to request the binary data back via URL in AJAX.

    Thanks for any help.

  • AshleyMagistross Works thanks again. Although some images i'm testing w/ simply do not load from the string, and then others do. Is there a reason you can think of why this is happening? All the files are jpg.

    What i'm doing is sending the base64 string via AJAX POST to a .php file which writes the string to a text file. Then requesting the data back w/ a .php file echoing the text file.

    Like I said it works with a couple .jpgs, but not all of them.

  • Ashley Exactly what I was looking for thank you

  • Thanks for the response! I will try that when I get home.

  • There's another thread like this but it's about a year old an the answer wasn't exactly clear.

    How would I go about loading an image via Base64 string from a variable or server side?

    Using the "Load image from URL" and inputting the Base64 string does not work. Is there a formatting issue i'm missing or maybe a step I may have overlooked?

    Thanks for any assistance.

  • Magistross I know it's been a while but would you be able to expand a little more on the URI format you provided?

    I have the base64 string saved to a var. Would I be able to load from that? Or directly from the Server?

    Thanks

  • I meant to include "https", but the issue ended up being the SSL certificate wasn't properly configured. Thanks for the reply :D

  • I have a solid understanding of how AJAX works. My question is to get help eliminating road blocks I have overlooked; right now AJAX is returning error.

    Here's what my event attempting to "read" a text file looks like:

    Button: On Clicked ---> AJAX: Request "http://fileLocation/textfile.txt

    AJAX: On completed ---> requestStatus.text: Set text to AJAX.LastData

    AJAX: On error --------> requestStatus.txt: Set text to error

    - I do have do CORS authorization on my web server

    My web server is php enabled if that helps out.

    Any thoughts? Thank you in advance for any help :)

  • try:

    on [shoot button] pressed

    repeat 5 times

    ---> create object (bullet)

    ---> set angle (bullet) to "gun.angle + random(-15,15)"

    this example creates a bullet, then sets its angle to no more than 15 degrees off the direction the gun is pointing. repeated 5 times. a bullet behavior will automatically move the bullets forward the set angle.

  • omg that's perfect, i can't believe using two different rooms for lobby & gameplay didn't cross my mind. Thanks for your input; very helpful.

  • how are your conditions set up?

    if i had to guess, you are having the jump animation begin playing while the jump button is down; like so:

    "[jump key] is down ---> play animation (from beginning)".

    if this is the case, the animation is starting from the top 60 times a second while the jump key is down, & as consequence you are only seeing the first frame; there are many solutions, but here are a couple basic ones:

    1. change "[jump key] is down ---> play animation (from beginning)" to "[jump key] pressed ---> play animation (from beginning)

    2. add a "trigger once while true" condition to "[jump key] is down ---> play animation (from beginning)" condition

    these both accomplish the same task, but option 1 is much better practice.

    hope that helps

  • i understand hosting multiple peers and starting a game w/ everyone connected & playing together. however is there any tips out there about syncing peers into groups?

    for example if 8 peers joined a room for the game "pong" (w/ a dedicated server acting as host). but when the game starts each peer is paired up & have there own game, totaling 4 games of pong. Then pretend this is repeated 7 times so every peer gets a chance to play the other peers in the room.

    i have the language set up for assigning peers their next opponent though IDs over multiple rounds, however i am stumped on syncing only one peer to another w/o the others interfering.

    i hope this was clear, & thanks for the help. i will continue studying the examples & post a solution if i come across one
