    hi

    i did try it and it give me "iphone" result

    any solution ?

    Since that doesn't specify which version of iPhone it is, you might have to combine it with a comparison of something else, like resolution (WindowWidth and WindowHeight), which is different between iPhone versions.

    If you need free music, consider looking here:

  • I read that Steam Greenlight turned into Steam Direct. Is the plugin going to work with this new system?

    Steam Greenlight and Steam Direct were/are just the ways to get your game approved to be made available on Steam, it has nothing to do with what you use to make the game.

    What does relate to the plugin is the Steamworks SDK, which this plugin does work with from what I can see.

    I myself will be releasing a C2 made game on Steam in the new year and will be purchasing this plugin soon so I can set up Achievements and the like.

    The website looks interesting and engaging. I'll consider doing something like that if/when I ever get around to releasing the game I'm working on.

    Unfortunately this is pretty worthless SEO-wise I guess. :-/

    Maybe a way around that would be to create a separate index.html with all the SEO tags and stuff in it, and then show the C2 created site in an iFrame?

    The number of levels doesn't matter with regards to performance, just the content of each level.

    I'm getting 60fps in the desktop game I'm working on, and that has:

    • 16384 x 4096 levels, with Characters around 48 x 64 to give you an idea of the level size
    • 6 layers: 3 background/parallax, playable layer, HUD layer and Menu layer
    • 30-80 NPCs with Platform Behaviour (for movement)
    • 40-80 other objects (e.g. boxes, barrels) with Platform Behaviour (for gravity, when terrain destroyed below)
    • 3000-4000 destructable sprites (a Tilemap might have been better if performance was bad)

    A few tips that helped me get good performance:

    • Use Triggered events (ones with green arrow) instead of regular events where possible
    • Similarly, use Timer behaviour or Functions to call certain actions at certain times rather than constantly checking for the right conditions
    • Use Groups, so you can disable/enable a whole bunch of events as needed
    • Use Spritefonts instead of Text if you need to update something frequently, as updating Text every tick will impact performance
    • Destroy objects outside the layout (i.e. in the margins), a platform object falling into eternity will drop your performance
    • Disable collisions when not needed e.g. only the surface of my destructable terrain has collision turned on to start, I turn it on for each terrain piece when it's exposed or made accessible
    • Disable platform behaviour when not needed e.g. I only turn platform behaviour on for my enemy units when they are on screen

    This won't help with current players using the cached version, but for future versions if you add something like this to your splash screen or main menu it should force reloading the updated version

    Browser: On update ready -> Browser: Reload

    From the Manual:

    [quote:ousyv8j6]On update ready

    Triggered when the game is running from cache, but an updated version has finished downloading in the background. If the user is still on the game's menu or title screen, you may wish to prompt them to refresh the page (or just do it automatically) so the new version is loaded

    The parameter you need to pass is the Tag you specifed when you started the Timer

    For example, if you set the Tag as "InvertControls", then you would change your text to:

    ""&Player.Timer.CurrentTime("InvertControls")

  • deejcast

    To make a player with platform behaviour bounce/jump, set it's vector Y to a negative number

    For example,

    Player on collision with Spring -> Player set vector Y to -256

    You'd set the Spring to play it's animation in the same event

    Here's a C2 capx that you should be able to import into C3:

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/56exf6azd9ryl ... .capx?dl=1

    It shows the event (without animation), but with the added bonus of increasing the height of the bounce/jump (using an instance variable) each time you land on the spring without hitting the ground.

    You need one " for defining the start/end of the string and then two "" to show a quote, so """hi""" to show "hi"

    From the manual:

    [quote:1416hm4x]The double-quotes are not included as part of the text, so setting a text object to show the expression "Hello" will make it show Hello, without any double-quotes. To include a double-quote in a string, use two double-quotes next to each other (""), e.g. "He said ""hi"" to me" will return He said "hi" to me.

    The issue has been reported here:

    Seems only solution at the moment is to revert to an earlier version of NW.js

  • How rotate block ? (no rotate behaviors)

    Here's an example in C2 that will give you smooth rotation between 0, 90, 180, 270: https://www.dropbox.com/s/p1ksfvczxxim3 ... .capx?dl=1

    Should be able to import it into C3

  • LocalStorage needs to check existence and set the variables for every layer?

    Only need to check once unless you reset the global variables.

    Objects have a count value, so you can use ObjectName.Count in expressions

    e.g. System->Compare two values: ObjectName.Count > 10
