  Hey there, I am trying to setup my maps so that they will select certain values along X and spawn enemy monsters accordingly. I just cant figure out how to select a value 10 through 15 along X and then spawn and load their instance variables based on the values in Y for each X. If that makes sense.

  Basically, I just wanna be able to control which monsters spawn from my array. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

  Thank You,

  Stephen

  Wow, I was way off haha. Thank you —

  One last question. Why do you clear the array on start of layout?

  Set the Initial State of the Particle emitter to Disabled. Then OnCollision with that ballThing, Move the Particle emitter to Player.X/Y and set Particle emitter to Enabled.

  Hey there,

  I am trying to load my JSON file into my array. I used the exact same one that was exported and even a modified one. Neither work at all. Here's a screenshot to show you how I have it coded. Any insight? Something I over looked?

  Thank You

  Thank you fir the advice. Ill try to figure out the export thing when I get home tonight.

  Edit

  Well, it took me forever but I was finally able to download the JSON file from my game. Worked great! I am gonna start loading the array with data tonight.

  I am still very confused on how to format a JSON file for a 3D array. Could someone give me small code example? I'd be in your debt.

  Let's use number for X. WeaponName for Y. WeaponStats for Z.

  Thank you,

  Stephen

  Edit:

  I probably wouldn't even need a 3D array. I could just load everything in a 2D array.

  you can create a .txt file and than rename it to be .json

  content should be something like this:

  {"armors":1,"weapons ":2}

  And how do I control what is on each axis?

  As the subject states, how?

  I am trying to create a JSON file so I can fill it all my armors/weapons and stats. Then using AJAX, push the info into an Array. I believe I am on the right path for an item database but I just can't figure out how to make a JSON file. Or even how I would format 3D values (XYZ).

  Any advice? Thank You.

  Gotcha. Thanks.

  What I do is set up a 32x32 grid in Photoshop on a 320x320 canvas. Then zoom in 400% and draw away.

  Set it to looping and dont stop it. If you are using a OnStartOfLayout to play music then just add a subevent to see if the music is already playing.
