  • I have been downloading the newest release as often as they have become available, or so I thought. I noticed after downloading the r222 I noticed that I am still at 216. I thought everything was done after the download. Is there another step or step that I am missing?

  • Try Construct 3

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Thanks that did the trick!

  • Lennaert, thanks for the quick response but I am still confused as to how to use your advice.

    First I set the tempScore:

    Set tempScore to tokenat(tempRow,1,"""&SCORECOLUMNAME&"":")

    Then to set the array value:

    Set value at (highScoreCount,1) to tokenat(tempScore,0,"""")

    Not sure where I'd use the score=replace(score,",","")

  • I ran a capx from Jim Quicks blog http://blogs.msdn.com/b/quick_thoughts/

    showing how to add a leader board from Azure. The setup was easy but the display of the scores does some odd things. I am sure it is because of the way the row is being separated but I just don't see it.

    I tried removing the "}" but still get the score and a comma after it.

    If anyone could explain where the problem is it would be greatly appreciated.

  • I don't seem to find an easy way to simply format text. Some thing like moneyText = "$"&str(moneyValue)

    Looking for something like $ 35.37 or $35.40 the 35.40 gives me 35.4 want to see both decimal places.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • I am in the process of developing a web site using a series of quizzes for testing and training purposes. My backend site uses asp.net with C# and SQL as the DB. I am developing the quizzes in Construct 2.

    What I need is a function in Construct 2 or event sheet that would use one of the existing plugins or a custom one you come up with that would allow me to move a few values in and out of the Construct 2 HTML 5 page.

    From the SQL DB I would like to move the top 5 scores of the logged in user along with the user name to the Construct 2 page. After the quiz is complete I want to submit back to the DB a few values like SCORE,Time Spent, Number Correct, Current Time.

    I have all of the values ready in Construct 2 after the quiz is complete just need the area to send it back to the DB, maybe using json and JavaScript?

    Would like to have this in a format that I can use it for other quizzes, that is to say I want to be able to drop it in again since I have a series of quizzes and will be adding more in the future.

  • Solved the problem by accessing the x position of the sprite, but there must be a way to call one sprite from a series other than by UID.

  • I have created 20 Dots across the bottom of the form. I want to change the animation frame based on a correct answer to 1 or 2.

    I have been able to do this fine until I hit a button to retry and the UID increases by 20.

  • Sorry for the simple question but I am having a bit of a problem selecting a specific object.

    I have created a series of (Sprite)buttons that will be red or green after an event. I can them to set the frame in order if I use sprite.UID and increase the value of UID incrementally each time. My problem is I have a function to RETRY that starts everything again and adds 20 to the SPRITE.UID when starting again.

    It works fine until I restart. I could add 20 every time I restart but I'd need to save the number of RETRY's.

    I am sure there is a better way to do this.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • Not sure where to ask this since I image this isn't a bug but rather a problem of mine.

    I was working on a project when all of the sudden anytime I add a sprite I am unable to add any color to it. The alpha channel remains at 0. If I change it, it goes back to 0.

    This is a problem not just for the current project but any old or new projects I start.

    I reinstalled Construct 2 but no success.

    Any suggestions.

    Thanks

  • I have been able to create some objects and add text labels using CONTAINER. This works fine until I try to move the object with DRAG & DROP or using PHYSICS, the label doesn't follow.

    Any help in keeping the 2 items together would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

  • I am trying to build a simple quiz with various sets of answers. I was thinking of loading 50 questions with 4 answers each then having 20 unique questions selected at the start of the quiz.

    I am thinking of using a random function to fill an array with the 20 questions and possible answers. I think I can do this from the other tutorials on arrays but I am not sure how to get the data to the program. Do I hard code it somewhere, access a SQL DB?

    Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

    Thanks
