  Okay I have figured it, just needed to get ratio of width/height and multiply my coordinates by it

  the width ratio = PlatformInfo.CanvasCssWidth / LayoutWidth

  the hegiht ratio = PlatformInfo.CanvasCssHeight / LayoutHeight

  So what I am trying to do is a save a canvas snapshot using the Snapshot canvas, on a subset of the game view, in the game I created a guide object to encompass the section of the screen I want to snapshot,

  so the snap canvas action looks like this

  

  The problem is the game i am working on is low rez, so when the game is full screen, it's only capturing a small portion of the screen based on CanvasDeviceWidth and CanvasDeviceHeight, is there some way to convert to the sprite width/height to the device width height

  I have used a library called StockJS with C3 in the past to visualize stock data across a time series, I think it can pull current data and also historical data (not sure what the delay is on the current data) , github.com/wagenaartje/stocks.js you would need to request an API key, by following the instructions on the github page. the library is pretty much a wrapper around alphavantage.co API

  Here is an example project

  drive.google.com/file/d/1vW3EZRUP3nqfSpmusaQHOUgpMFVKcT7i/view

  in order for the project to work you need to add the the API KEY in the script.js file

  also the project uses great addons from github.com/el3um4s/construct-plugins-and-addons for html/css manipulation

  I parse and stringfy data back and fourth between the event sheet and the JS scripts, I normally try and handle all the data manipulation in the scripting API and then have a wrapper functions that read or updates the JSON object.

  Especially when the auto complete is misleading because you have used the lower case variant of the string...

  Agreed, but it should be documented as such..

  doing something like this is also a bad idea unless you cache the value for recursive function (dynamic programming) this gets really expensive on the bigger the number, you can run out of stack memory very quick

  just in case I created this bug ticket because it seems like its unintentional github.com/Scirra/Construct-3-bugs/issues/3858

  it's really not a big deal, just something that should be documented so noobs like me don't spend hours trying to figure out why my simple assignment statement is not getting the correct value.

  So in construct defining instance variable is case insensitive

  so doing something like this fails because Damage & damage are the same considered the same thing

  

  when referencing these variables from scripts, they are case sensitive, thus considered 2 separate value. is this by design? or is this a bug?
