  I've had this happen and it's usually if you do not replace ALL the files. You must absolutely replace all files. Safest bet is to delete everything on the server and re-upload.

  Implementing visual effects now

  These look great. Do you do all the art yourself?

  You can use the pathfinding behavior for that. Like this

  The most simple, basic way is to call the "add key" action (maybe on start of layout)

  construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/plugin-reference/dictionary

  You'd call it twice, once for "good" and once for "excellent", then the dictionary.Get() will work properly.

  If you wanna go more into depth, you'd load the data into the dictionary via AJAX. An example for that can be found here editor.construct.net

  The conditions are still not separated in your screenshot. They need to be each in an individual block. Pressing B will create an empty subevent of the current highlighted event. Very useful shortcut :)

  I don't think there is a way to hide comments actually.

  one current issue I am having is the tile overlapping and erasing other tiles. Is there a way to overlap tilesets without them erasing?

  Not directly within a single tilemap. In order to overlap tilemaps, you'd simply add another tilemap on top.

  1. You want to turn the value checks into a subevent of the on clicked event

  2. You need to split those up. Right now the number would have to be both between 50-79 AND between 80-100 which is of course impossible.

  You keep in mind what you changed recently. Then try to disable certain events and see if the error vanishes. If it does, the event you disabled likely causes the issue.

  The error can also sometimes give some hints. E.g. maximum call stack size usually means there was an infinite loop of some kind.

  Can you post an example? Because it seems to work just fine on my end. Maybe it's a browser specific thing?

  Me too.

  But my game really need progress bar&logo

  how to solve it?

  It will likely be fixed very soon. Just use a different loader until the patch drops and then switch back.

  Most likely that means it has been deprecated aka no longer needed. It still exists to ensure backwards compatibility and that's why you can copy it, but it doesn't show up anymore since it's considered redundant. I'd wager almost all devices support multiplayer at this point.

  Newts solution is interesting. I've also found this bit of js that appears to work from my brief testing.

  if(window.matchMedia("(any-pointer: coarse)").matches) {
   runtime.objects.Sprite.getFirstInstance().x += 10;
  } else {
  	runtime.objects.Sprite.getFirstInstance().x -= 10;
  }

  There's probably some caveats to this so beware and check this article

  css-tricks.com/interaction-media-features-and-their-potential-for-incorrect-assumptions

  Seems to be fairly well supported too with 97%+ coverage

  I've never used the API myself so I can't really show any example. And making an example would mean a lot of reading and trying etc... so I'd put that task on you.

  Scour the manual for AJAX construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/plugin-reference/ajax

  The rough outline will be

  1. Send an AJAX GET (request URL) request to the API with the correct keys/userid etc.

  2. Load the response into a JSON object (parse AJAX.lastData)

  3. Validate it. If it only contains "errors": ["invalid download key"] or similar you know the user does not own the game

  There's also this itch.io/api/1/KEY/game/GAME_ID/purchases which probably is useful for your case since it requests to check a users purchases and you can verify it includes your game/dlc/extra download.

  Note that you have to replace certain parts of the API urls with your data

  itch.io/api/1/KEY/game/GAME_ID/purchases

  KEY = API key you can generate somewhere in your profile

  GAME_ID is the game id you can get from a different API call (or maybe somewhere from your page too? Not sure)

  Just try around and if you cannot figure something out you can always come ask again. But I do recommend banging your head against it at least a little bit, it's a good learning experience.
