  Any text needs to be in quotation marks "", variable names can not be inside them.

  You need to close the quotation marks and use & then write the variable name. Example:

  if you sword variable is called SWORD, and your shield variable is called SHIELD, then you would write it as

  "swords:" & SWORD & ", shields: " & SHIELD &"."

  Strange, i just downloaded the file using the link and it worked fine.

  Its a folder, so look inside and there should be 3 files, 1 instructions, 1 tutorial and 1 engine.

  I made this a while ago.

  Don't know if it helps.

  To be honest, if they were going to work on another software offshoot of C3 i would have preferred it was a version specifically for creating apps rather than games.

  It probably would have done better, and been a better use of their time, rather than trying to be the new Flash.

  You need to put the sprites in a family then test for overlap between sprite and sprite.family, then move the sprites back in the reverse direction until theres no overlap.

  I'm new to the whole json thing, and try as i might can't seem to find the answer when searching. The manual isn't much help either.

  I've got a sprite, i adjust its variable at runtime, then i create a new instance of that sprite, but the new sprite needs the old instances variables.

  I know i'm supposed to use "set from json"? Do you need the json object as well? what path do i set?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thanks.

  I generally put all my code into various functions, then just call the functions when needed.

  This has the same effect but also helps a great deal in organising and debugging the game.

  It also means my main game loop is very readable since its just a list of functions.

  It a shame that construct 3 can't have these sorts of ui plugins as standard. If one person could do it then why can't the dev team? Ashley

  Functions are now built in, and parameters are handled as local variables.

  Sorry i can't check your file at the moment, but perhaps the inventory layer needs to be set to 2d render and not 3d?

  Also you can you mouse.x("layer name") to get the coordinates of a specific layer, as they will be different between 2d and 3d.
