  • Hello! Is there a way to avoid the player from having to run WindowsIconUpdater when they download the game? Or do it for them when the game is downloaded? It looks tacky on my download instructions to say: "Extract zip and run WindowsIconUpdater. When finished run Game.exe.". Will running It in the extracted game then re-zipping it prevent the player from having to run it themselves? There is very little info on this.

    I've never seen a game make the player run WindowsIconUpdater when they want the game's icon to show up.

    Thanks for any help or clarification!

  • Animations and art are great!! :D

  • I hope it's not a problem. Thanks for the reply WackyToaster.

  • (Sorry for the confusing title!)

    I'm including a "behind the scenes" image gallery in my game that I'm going to copyright and I was wondering if it is okay for some of the images to include some of Construct's interface. For example:

    I have no idea if this might have some kind of legal complication, so I just wanted to ask before I do anything.

    Thank you!

  • tkyakow it also would be cool to see some parallax on some of the layers. Great looking project overall though.

    Had the same thing happen to me...

  • Thank you for the explanation Dop2000!! This helps a lot!

  • Okay I did what you said but I'm getting some weird results...

    I set the dictionary's key value to the box once it's destroyed:

    Player on collision with Box, Box Destroy and Dictionary add key "Box." & Box.IID with value Box.AsJSON.

    I then save the dictionary to local storage when I call my save function:

    Local storage set item "Box_Data" to Dictionary.AsJSON

    After I load the Dictionary from local storage I then "load" the Dictionary keys:

    System on start of layout, Box set from JSON: Dictionary.Get("Box." & Self.IID))

    This is the problem: If I destroy the boxes and save, exit the game and load, the destroyed boxes are not the boxes the player destroyed but rather random ones.

    I've been going through my code but still have no clue to what I'm doing wrong.

    Thank you again for any help!

  • Thanks for the reply!

    I'll try out what you said and see how it goes.

  • Wow!!

  • Hello! Lately I've been getting familiar with using local storage to save a whole "Dictionary" object and use it for a save system. But the one thing I can't figure out how to do is this: How do I save the states of many objects? If a layout has fifty boxes and the player randomly destroys thirty of those boxes, how do I save all of the destroyed boxes states and "remember" the boxes that were destroyed when the player loads their save?

    Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

  • Looks cool!!

  • Dang that's what I feared. Thanks!

  • When I resized a tilemap, exited out of the tilemap editor and hit the undo button and the "Oops something went wrong" error message popped up displaying this info:
