  • My game includes more than 5 videos that players can watch to learn more about a product. I'm concerned about the time it takes to load the game.

    Is there a way to load the videos only at the particular layout where it's used, or are all the videos loaded on startup by default?

  • Hi,

    Are you looking to randomize the questions and answers, or simply keep the 3 questions and answers fixed?

    For the latter, as long as the user clicks on the correct answer, just +1 to a variable (e.g. Score).

    You can also make it such that if they click on the answer button, you change the button color depending on whether it's the correct or wrong answer, by changing its frame.

  • Try Construct 3

  • Can you try sending data from the current project to the spreadsheet used in your previous game (the one that's working)? If you are able to send data, then the issue is likely with the new spreadsheet/script. Maybe you missed a step and didn't grant some permission.

    Thanks for the tip! I tried using the working-game spreadsheet and it worked on my current game.

    After trying to eliminate many possible causes, what I found out was because I was using the same variable name on both Construct and Google script (e.g. using "n" for the name variable on both Construct and Google script). When I changed the variable on Google script, everything worked out fine.

    Btw, I'm using POST instead of GET method. Will this be better in terms of security?

  • Hi,

    Are you referring to this tutorial?

    https://www.construct.net/en/tutorials/sending-data-construct-23-1447

    I just used this, and it is working, able to submit to Google sheets.

    Yes, this tutorial. It worked wonderfully on my previous 2 games, but not on this current game I'm building, which is weird.

    The only difference is that for this current game:

    1) I'm sending over more parameters than the previous (working) games

    2) I also do another AJAX call to load a local JSON file for this current game

    Sorry if my description is rather vague, not really well-versed in coding :(

  • Hi, I have done a game previously that sends the player's name and score to a Google sheet via Google app scripting, using the tutorial shared by dop2000.

    Everything worked and still works. So I followed the same steps to create another game, but faced the 'CORS-policy' problem when submitting data.

    I've tried both GET and POST methods over AJAX but still faced the same error.

    Is there a workaround to this, or are there any alternative methods to send data to a Google sheet (client requirement)?

  • Thanks for the reply Kyatric!

    I was using the iframe plugin, but just realized a typo in the form code snippet 😅 The form appears on my game now.

  • Hi! I'm planning to add a form by Hubspot at the end of my games where players can submit their email addresses to enter a draw.

    Hubspot provides me with the html snippet (I don't know how to attach it to this post, sorry). So how do I add the html code so the form shows on my game?

    Cheers!
