  • Holy cow! Is this documented anywhere?

    valerypopoff I'm anxious to test your plugin.

    This error is probably because you put AddVariadicParams in the middle of the condition. In Construct 2 this operation can only be at the end.

    Cheers.

  • Problem Description

    When there's a plugin with a Condition with a parameter added with AddVariadicParams, an error pops up in Construct when editing condition parameters and clicking on "Add parameter" link. The error only pops up if Variadic parameter is not added the last. If it's the last parameter listed, everything is ok.

    When you click "Retry", the error pop up goes away and everything works. Even the condition works correctly. On runtime it sees all the Variadic parameters you pass.

    Attach a Capx

    Don't know what to attach since the problem is in a plugin mechanism

    Description of Capx

    Same here

    Steps to Reproduce Bug

    • Add to any plugin a Condition with AddVariadicParams("Name", "Description"); (which is not the last one)
    • Open Construct
    • Create a project
    • Create a condition
    • Click "Add parameter" link

    Observed Result

    Error pops up

    Expected Result

    Opens a new field for a parameter

    Check failure! This is probably a bug:

  • Has the development of this plugin died out?

    I've updated it to version 1.0 which is good for Construct 3 and also frame rate independent. The plugin pretty much nails all my needs now and I don't really know what to improve. Any ideas?

  • Awesome !

    Duration = Framerate independent ?

    Now it is in version 1.0

  • Due to the way preview mode works in C3 loading local files has to be done slightly differently. This is one of the few differences in the runtime in C3. Instead of using "myscript.js" directly, call:

    var realUrl = this.runtime.getProjectFileUrl("myscript.js");[/code:hpel1tob]

That gives you the real URL to request that will work in both preview and export.

    Cool, thanks, that worked!

  • In Construct 2 I could add myscript.js into project files and include it into a project on runtime (with a plugin for example) by doing this:

    var myScriptTag=document.createElement('script');
myScriptTag.setAttribute("type","text/javascript");
myScriptTag.setAttribute("src", "myscript.js");
document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(myScriptTag);[/code:21b9xvid]
and it worked both in preview mode and on export. But when I add [b]myscript.js[/b] into project files in Construct 3, it's no longer accessible in a preview mode and gives 404. But it works fine on export.

What should I do to access a project file on runtime in a preview mode?

  • Press F12, reload the page and check the error console. This is almost always just that you forgot to upload some files, or the MIME types aren't set up correctly on the server (see the manual).

    I'm experiencing the same thing. Internet Explorer. Console says SCRIPT5: Access is denied

  • Try Construct 3

  • In game I am creating dozens of enemies and in subsequent events or sub events I am changing their instance variables, positions and pinning stuff to them etc at the point of creation. and as far as I can see everything is working well and smoothly.

    As long as I understood and figured from numerous experiments, you sure can change instance variables, positions and pin stuff to Objects you've just created. Even in subsequent events or sub events. What you can NOT do in subsequent events or sub events is pick form those objects you've just created. Not by «Pick...» actions, nor by conditions, like, "If Object is visible...".

  • Created objects are accessible after the next top-level event

    Mother. Of. God. Is this documented anywhere?

    I've been trying to figure out what's wrong for, like, days. I accidentally figured that "Wait 0 seconds" solves the problem but I didn't know why.

    Thanks. I guess.

  • i think should be runtime.vars[],i.ll test

    So, did you try it?

  • I figured ReadExecutionReturn expression of this plugin works wrong. It only returns strings. If you try to return a number, for example, it crashes.

    Here's the link to a corrected plugin: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B72lM ... 2daZnBJN3c

  • Awesome !

    Duration = Framerate independent ?

    In this version of a plugin it assumes that the frame rate is 60. If it's not, it will work incorrectly.

  • Hi, I'm working on Ease plugin here:

  • Change any value or parameter gradually with easing effect.

    Move objects around with easing. Change the sound volume gradually. Smoothly change an opengl effect parameter. Gradually change variables. You name it.

    Easing is frame rate independent since version 1.0.

    Demo

    Sample.capx

    Ease plugin v.0.1 for Construnct 2

    Ease plugin v.1.0 for Construnct 2

    Ease plugin v.1.0 for Construnct 3

    How it works

    1. Create a function that changes any value. Set this value to Function.Param(0)

    2. Create Ease action and pass the name of the function to it

    3. You're good. Once Ease action is triggered, it starts calling Setter function every tick with a new parameter taking into account Easing effect.

    Actions

    Ease — starts easing

    Conditions

    In ease — checks if easing is in progress

    On finished — triggered once easing is finished

    Expressions

    Not ready yet

  • Now you can use

    if (window["c2_callFunction"])

    window["c2_callFunction"]("name", ["param1", "param2"]);

    to call function in your plugin

    Thanks, that helped!
