  • Please bear with my silly question here.

    I need some opinion from someone who has been making game or work as a programmer for quite sometimes.

    So I have experienced with construct for almost a year now but I don't have any experience with other computer languages and I'm currently try to wrap my head around those things. What I want to know is how you guys pick the right data format (json,xml,array,etc) for your construct2,3 project. Do you choose because of preference over effectiveness? When it comes to storing data, what is your favorite format? Do I have to care or just use whatever I'm comfortable with?

    So far, my only trick I know is working on dictionary or array and a bunch of Tokenat which I have no idea if it's a right thing to do.

  • This is not going to be the problem when the up coming c3 runtime text feature released.

    https://github.com/Scirra/Construct-3-bugs/issues/1402

    So I guess this issue is fixed and I just have to wait.

  • Your image is not loading.

    Whoops my bad. Link should be fixed now.

  • I'm using Thai language on a text object. I guess because they are stacked on top of each other make it too tall and cause display issue.

    Is there any way to bring the text origin down without skipping to newline or change the alignment? I believe I saw it somewhere in Photoshop but I did not find any in the manual.

    edit:The left text is the issue and the right text is how it suppose to be displayed.

  • unicornspitfire they used to have a product especially for turn-based, but maybe chat will do the trick? At least you can try it out

    The official multiplayer plugin cover up most of features I want, however, if the host is disconnected then it's over which I don't want that and switching to Photon is a little bit intimidating for me because they have multiple plan to choose. Well I gotta try it now. Cheers

  • tunepunk Nice game you got there.

    About Photon, do you think Photon Chat Plan is good enough for card game? or do you suggest going for Realtime Plan?

    I don't see any different except for pricing.

  • — Thank you for sharing some idea.

    dop2000 Hmm that is brilliant. Thank you.

  • I want to do something like

    "Hey! You are [your name], aren't you?"[/code:gaahmjlc]
Which [your name] will display as the name string of user from the global variable. Just like something from visual novel or text adventure that display your name.
The thing is I would call this text dialogue from a single line of text (possibly xml or csv). Does Construct has a way to display global variable between the text?
Thanks

  • I was successfully implement this feature on my "Would You Rather" practice project using Rex_firebase plugin long time ago. All you need to do is to set your firebase database up then using firebase counter (or what ever you like) to store the data. After that, just pull the data out from the database and convert it to percentage form.

  • Please check out this issue here https://github.com/Scirra/Construct-3-bugs/issues/467

    I have ran a test for both part12studios' and your flickering.apk on my samsung S7 device. The jerky or flickerly movement was presented with 55-50fps but running smoothly on browser preview.

    I have ever had this problem back when I tried to play around with dt and sine movement but I forgot what is the cause of the bad movement. No idea if it relevant to this issue but I will dig it out and check on it again.

  • Looking from your example, I think my missing piece is temp dictionary. I tried using it and it works. Thanks again dop

    For anyone interested.

  • Hi Dop. I knew it is going to be you. haha Thanks for always helping noobie like me.

    If there are many different dictionaries, how do you expect to get only one dictionary in the end?

    Well that's exactly what I need. Maybe rearrange is a poor word choice here. What I want to do is access value of the dictionary from inside out and convert it in to one line with comma splitting each of them. I'm trying to provide you project file. Please wait.

    btw thank you for your example project. It is super useful learning material.

  • Hi. I have my set of data which is a dictionary that contains keys and another dictionary(asJSON) as value, and in that dictionary there are keys and once again another dictionary(asJSON).

    Here is a roughly idea of how my data structured. 

    {"c2dictionary":true,"data":
{"dict1Z0":"{\"c2dictionary\":true,\"data\":
{\"dict1Z1\":"{\"c2dictionary\":true,\"data\":{\"you\":\"happy\"}}"}}"}}[/code:3t70cxog]
The code might not be accurate but you get the idea. Also the real data has much more keys and dictionary inside.
I tried for each keys but it did not dig deep enough. (or I don't know how to do it properly)
Anyone has idea of pulling out the key and value then rearrange it in to a one nice dictionary?
What I need is rearrange into something like this   
[code:3t70cxog]{"dict1Z0":"dict1Z1","you","happy"[/code:3t70cxog] 
Thank you.
