  • I can't seem to find a straight answer, but I'm getting frustrated so I thought I'd ask.

    Is it possible to fade an entire layer over time, not an object, so that multiple layers within one layout can be used?

    The only thing I could perceive causing a problem from forum answers is having objects with additive effects on the layer. But all I'm getting now is either no fade, or a snap to invisible.

    System While

    LayerOpacity(2)>0:

    -Set Layer 2 opacity to LayerOpacity(2)-1

    System Every Tick

    LayerOpacity(2)>0:

    -Set Layer 2 opacity to LayerOpacity(2)-1

    I also tried subtracting with time deltas, essentially every answer I could think of/find in the forum. I'm on R146.

  • I'm using a button to 'Launch External Window' with a tel:// link now, but is there a way to do the same type of dialing as is available in Appmobi's jqMobi - that dials from a modal popup?

  • I'm assuming you changed the security setting that allows you to install .apks from anywhere? If it's not that it would seem maybe there was an interruption in signing the files? Go back to your original file and re-sign... sorry I can't offer too much support because it seems everybody gets there own unique set of issues :-p Let me know what you learn please if you find a solution.

  • Ahhhh, ok, I have both installed now and I was wondering if that could have an effect.

    So I should remove the 'official' release and replace it with your 'dev' release. Then I also include your c2runtime.js in the index.html? Or is that not required anymore?

    Thanks for the response! Appmobi is brilliant, are you involved with them? Because I still have some licensing questions... let me know please :)

  • I'm having errors on initializing a map. Anyone have a working .Capx?

  • I've got the following Event Sheet:

    On Start Of Layout

    -System: Wait

    -Appmobi: Add Virtual Page

    -Appmobi: Show Remote Site

    But it isn't launching anything. Launch external site works, but leaves the app. Any help understanding how this plugin works would be greatly appreciated.

  • This is the solution. Two conditions, On Touch End & Is Touching Object will register one touch

  • It's probably registering multiple touches with each tick. Try adding a second condition - On Touch End - to your event.

    I always use a combo of On Touch End and Is Touching Object to capture a single tap.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • It doesn't open to anything pretty... and no, I'm not going to login to Facebook through your app.

  • Rainy day, so I thought I'd try my hand at making a real tutorial for Construct 2. I have much new-found respect for Tutorial creators as it really is a time consuming pursuit. Now I'd like to know if mine's actually any help.

    Would you give it a read-through/follow-through to see if it's actually worthwhile. I've posted it on my blog for now - your edits and comments will decide if I submit it here. Thanks so much if you do.

  • They give a warning against uploaded a debug signed APK. It seems like you need to follow the signing process if you aren't using appmobi to build. I wrote a little step-by-step of what I did to get a game up to the Play store... however I've had trouble re-signing updated packages, so it doesn't seem to be the right process, or some little detail is hampering the process. Read it here:

  • Hmmm, well I've run into a few issues using this method, so I'd hold off on using it as a guide. Waiting for CocoonJS to update the permissions required by compiled apps, and a few other things. Will revisit this topic when I move forward with my next round of tests.

  • I just wanted to know if you'd based it on anything in particular... as for 'proof-of-concept' work, it's an awesome start.

  • awesome work man :) What kind of engine are you using? I like the fade-in effect when you enter each room.

  • setting the JAVA HOME can be done from anywhere I think... if you go to START > RUN > and type 'cmd' you'll get a Command Prompt window from your default windows location, then you can set the JAVA HOME variable following that step. Let me see if I can go back and clarify that in the write-up.

    As for 'Minify' I haven't had any issues with that. I have had various issues pop up if I use the 'Brute' method of compression. But I just make everything as compressed as possible outside of Construct to keep things light there. All minify does is make your game's code at runtime less readable by compacting variables and functions (or at least that's my understanding).
