  • Has anyone ever seen this error before? It happens when I save to my Cloud Dropbox. I get a 100% complete window, but I also get this "Conflict" error. The file actually does not save. Google Drive works fine.

    It stopped working about 3 weeks ago. I don't think I changed anything to the settings.

  • Ok. Thanks.

  • I just noticed that TextInput does not have angle in its parameter settings. Text parameters has it.

    Is it even possible to angle TextInput?

    [quote:2vppjj4o]Nevertheless, stay tuned to the forums and to Scirra's social medias, more documentation is in the works on this very subject, soon to be released.

    Was this what you were referring to, or is there more to come?

  • I love MoveTo. I want MoveTo. I NEED MoveTo.

    It has already been requested in the past...

    Interestingly, the Admin Response was that it was a good idea and that we should wait for the new C3 runtime. The new runtime is here.

    So, where do we go from here? A large portion of users have projects that use very popular and important 3rd party plugins. What “should have been done” and what was “actually done” is not a matter of debate. It seems like a ticking time-bomb before even more projects become un-openable.

    Some options for the most popular plugins:

    - Scirra adopts them as official plugins. Therefore maintaining compatibility.

    - Provide C3 event/action coding that accomplishes the same result as the plugin. This seems cumbersome if even possible.

    - Users volunteer to keep them maintained. This perpetuates the situation.

    - Inexperienced programmers learn to code their own plugins. This is contrary to the accessibility of C3.

    • Do nothing. Hope for continued compatibility.
    • ?

    If popular plugins become abandoned, how do we address this looming disaster? What is our work-around/solution?

    I enjoyed the video tutorials on your website. Have you ever made any step by step tutorials for online Multiplayer? If not, do you know of anyone who has? Videos make a bigger impact for me vs reading.

  • Thank you.

    I don't know why I couldn't figure that out. I guess I was expecting the entire sheet to be copied instead of piece by piece, but it makes sense now.

  • I want to copy a complete event sheet over to another project. I know that the core information that is referenced has to be the same: variables, objects, behaviors etc. . I want to avoid redoing everything, so how do I merge the compatible projects?

    This question would also apply to layouts.

  • I'm just learning how to do Multiplayer and I am having difficulty getting the host and peer to constantly exchange their global variable information or something of the sort.

    I am using the Pong program as my reference, but I am still missing something. What I am trying to accomplish in my test program is, have both the host and peer be able to share all their variable states (user name to start) and interact from their exclusive layout pages. Ultimately I am trying to make a card game. Your own mobile device would show only your hand of cards and the played cards would be visible and common to both host and peer.

    Right now my program will show the host name only on the host device and the peer name only on the peer device. How do I get them to share info an update continuously? What am I missing?

  • Yes, this is the help I needed. I have always organized my code using groups. I forgot that an event sheet can be used inside of another event sheet, and it took me a bit to figure out how to add them.

    Now I have to get used to using 'include' instead of 'group'.

  • If there is no existing way to do this, I am going to make it a new feature suggestion.

    Does anyone else see the value in this?

  • Sometimes I need to compare code on a long and complicated event sheet. Right now I keep scrolling up and down. Is there a better way of doing this?

    I would like to be able to view the same event sheet as a split screen and scroll to different sections of code. And be able to jump back and forth for editing. If editing is done on one split-screen-view-panel, then the other view-panel (being a different view of the same event sheet) is updated immediately.

  • Thanks for the reply. It will be a few days until I can try it.

  • I am making a Cribbage game and I am having trouble figuring out the logic of how to recognize a card run. In Cribbage you can score points for card runs that are played out of order sequentially but are still connected as a group. eg. 4-5-6 is a run and 6-4-5 , 5-6-4 are also runs.

    Each card has a variable for the face value, 1-13. I am placing each card in the order they are played into an array. So using the example above, when the third card being played is a 6, how do I check if the last two cards played are both a 4 or a 5. (there can be no other cards played in between any of the cards in the run)

    I would need it to recognized longer runs too. eg 5-3-1-2-4 (when the 2 is played it becomes a 3 card run(3-1-2) and when the 4 is played it becomes a 5 card run)
