  • Every item in the store has the license tab where you can read the details, like here

  • Alright no problem. Thank you

    Maybe you can help me with that

    I am trying to stop the music when the reward video is showing.

    So on reward video shown and sub-invent if global variable music was already on, stop all music that has tag "music". And restart when user close the video

    Is that make sense?

    I tried that but can get it. the music continue same time with the video content.

    Thank you

    Regards

    Hmm sounds ok to me. Maybe instead of stopping on "On rewarded video shown", try to stop the audio just before calling "Show rewarded video", so that would be under "On Tap object" I believe. Also try with "Audio Set Silence" instead of stopping the audio.

    It's hard to guess so you need to try several approaches.

  • Updated to version 1.2, added "ToString" expression.

    TR_ClockParser.ToSeconds(timeString) - Converts the specified clock string to seconds.

    Examples:

    TR_ClockParser.ToSeconds("01:03:30" ) -> 3810

    TR_ClockParser.ToSeconds("15:30") -> 930

    TR_ClockParser.ToSeconds("30") -> 30

  • Hello

    Thank you very much for your reply.

    Can't we use this section to do something to cancel the reward if the user end the video before the end?

    "This condition is triggered after the video ad is stopped by the user. "

    Regards

    Unfortunately for iOS this condition just does not trigger because of the invalid response from Ludei's library. I hope it will be fixed soon.

  • Hi marc254,

    How to use this section

    "This condition is triggered after the interstitial (the one that pops up after the video is completed) is clicked"

    Do I have some events to add there?

    This is the place which triggers once the user saw the entire video AND he clicked the AD. So if you want to reward him extra for clicking the ad, then this is the place. Please note that AFAIK encouraging users to click the AD is not allowed by Google policy. Still such condition is available, you can for instance show a "thank you" message here or whatever suits your app needs.

    Secondly, can you guide me how to avoid giving reward if the user close the video before the end?

    This is an issue of Ludei's AD library and occurs only on iOS. It's already reported to Ludei (Cocoon) and we're waiting for the fix. I'm sorry about that but I can't do much myself as the issue is not in my code.

    Please note that this shouldn't be a crucial issue as the nature of rewarded video is that the user decided himself that he will watch the entire AD because he wants to be rewarded. So I'm pretty sure that cancelling a video happens in less than 1% of cases.

    But yes this is a technical issue which has been reported to me already. I have reported it to Cocoon team. Now all we can do is wait. Hopefully they'll fix it soon.

  • — do you think you can add a function allowing to change the horizontal / vertical alignment and the hotspot at runtime?

    At the moment those actions do not exist.

    Thank you!

    Hey AndreasR,

    I could do it, but there's no need because I know skymen is already working on such plugin. He already made the Text Alignment and will release the SpriteFont type one soon as well.

  • Third-party cordova plugins can be supported in the build service, but we maintain a whitelist of allowed plugins for security reasons. If you want a third-party cordova plugin to be considered for whitelisting, please file an issue.

    I'm interested about that as well so few questions.

    Is there a list of currently allowed plugins/whitelist avalable somewhere?

    Do we have to provide the NPM name or is it possible with Github URL?

    Can we code Github library dependency in the C3 plugin directly?

  • Made several plugins recently including "Unload from memory" type plugin and so updated portfolio here.

  • Variables (any kind) are one of the most basic elements in any programming language. Normally varaibles are actually just pointers (a kind of arrow that points the RAM area of where the data is stored), in Construct they're a bit more complex as they go via event sheets but still variables are the lightest elements I can think of. So no matter if it's a global or local or instance variable, they do not affect the CPU, no worries about that.

  • Hi! Please correct me if I am mistaken.

    The system global variable is checked on all events of a events sheet.

    Instans variable is checked by a call in an event.

    I so understand, Global is checked as instans?

    Something like invisible instans on a global layer?

    Hi repkino,

    I don't know what you mean by "is checked on all events of a events sheet". Neither the native global variables nor instance variables are checked by the engine unless you code the check as a condition or expression.

    Instance variables of Globals plugin are exactly the same instance variabless as you use in any other plugin.

    Both native global variables and instance variables are accessible globally. If you want to read more about the differences, you can read the article which I also linked in the very first post here: http://tobyr.wtfgamesgroup.com/c2-plugi ... variables/

    Hey I bought.

    1. I'm testing Your scriot via mobile by wi-fi on my IP and got error. Please check.

    2. Where should I add adMobcode?

    Hi there,

    The error pops up because you try to run the ads functions before wrapping the project with Cocoon and so the Cocoon library is missing at this point.

    All ads, IAPs, notification, etc. plugins requires a library which is being added to the project during wrapping. I mentioned that in the F.A.Q. on store page as well.

    Once you install the AdMob plugin in the Cocoon panel and export the project with Cocoon the error will dissapear as the library will be added at that point.

    Hope that clears things out. If you have any further questions jus let me know.

  • Glad it works and thanks for the purchase
