  • Missing link is to add AJAX -> On ANT completed -> System -> Reset persisted objects on event sheet. Not sure what this will do to other objects, but will post any updates. Thanks for the pointers Magistross!

  • I wondered about cache. I'm new to Construct 2, how would I best achieve adding a random parameter? There's also cache: false you can use in jQuery, but I'm not sure how I'd implement it here

  • The xml file is being rewritten by an exe, which is picking up input from a hardware device. There is only one xml file of that name, which has been added to the project. I know it's seeing it because it's showing the initial value

  • I have an XML file which is updated at 4Hz with values from an external process. I have included this xml file into my project, and am attempting to show the constantly updating values in a text box. I have created a System object and set it to load the xml file twice per second, using the AJAX plugin. I then set up text boxes to display the XML values, using Ajax -> on XML completed. But the text boxes only show the initial value, and are not being updated with the subseqent values. What am I missing?

  • Sussed it!! fantastic, very many thanks for your help

  • Hi, I'm new to both Construct2 and programming, and scratching my head on how to attach a sword arm sprite object to a body sprite object. The view is top down, the sword arm should pivot 90deg from 12 o'clock to 3 o'clock from the sprite's shoulder using the arrow keys. I've worked through the beginner tutorial from start to finish four complete times, but have no clue how to achieve what I want. I've defined origin points on the two objects, I've created a 'pin' behaviour on the sword arm, but that's as far as I get. There doesn't seem to be anything further you can do with the pin once you've created it - just rename it is all!! And then how to get it to pivot with the arrow keys - I know it must relate to the keyboard object, which I also created, but how to link left right keys with pivot? I'm sure it's really simple to do, and sorry for such basic questions.
