  • — thanks for your reply, believe me, but ofcourse I already tried different approaches of the method you proposed, they sadly do not work.

    I have a feeling that global objects behave differently than anything related to LocalStorage and the Savestates.

    On a side note, it's actually the data that needs to be deleted, not the cache, gonna change my original question

  • did you change the App ID in intel XDK AND Construct?

    ofcourse you'll have to change the name to something else than not.yet.specified

  • Here's my issue,

    I have an android game which received an update, the app uses a lot of global objects, some have changed since the last version.

    Whenever one of my players installs a new update, they don't see certain objects because they were created, moved or deleted on a previous version.

    My app saves the state of the game periodically with the system>save option, also saving the position of those global objects.

    The only solution I found so far is to manually delete the data of the game in the app settings after installing a new version, but not all users read the updates and/or don't like doing this manually.

    Is there a way to do this with events, or have I been too sloppy in my events so this could be avoided in the future?

    It's hard to upload a capx because I'm talking about a complete game here.

    Thanks

  • Looks like a very nice game, lovely graphics and awesome gameplay. Keep up the good work.

    Nice to see another belgian C2'er.

  • google plus does not allow that.

  • RTFM or.... use search....

    Seriously you're a Game Designer Student, learn to use the search functions on websites, or read the manual...

  • Pretty silly mistake...

    You have this in your update event sheet

  • this example will update the gold_key in the localstorage with the value of my gold variable...

    Exactly as how it is explained in the link i gave you...

  • I test it by having a reset button in my game, which clears all data, resets global variables and removes localstorage.

    I usually also remove my app-cache and data before trying a fresh install.

    If you mean, how does the game know it's a fresh install, well, because the variable/array is empty.

    You could also make a variable "IsFreshInstall" set to 0 after the game has started (and have it saved in localstorage).

    So the next time the game is started it will know it's not a fresh install.

    like this:

  • The width trick works with a tiledbackground. Use the same image in the tiledbackground, and set the width. It will expand as you expect.

    Yes forgot that, i included a version like this in the example too

    Hello blackhornet, yes i know with a tiledbackground it works but i dont want to use that.

    currently i downloading the last version of construct 2 because wishy created that capx with a newer C2 version that mine.

    Hope could works <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy">

    Thanks a lot all for helping me.

    redownload https://www.dropbox.com/s/m2h4k8j1c3dpn ... .capx?dl=0 for a version with tiledbackground too

  • Just have a variable in your localstorage that checks if its a new install or not, if it is, he can restore his coins, else not.

    A simple boolean would be fine.

    In my example, players can buy skins for a character ingame and this is the part that checks if he has the purchase IF the value is not in the array.

  • Thanks for the reply, but I already fixed it.

    Your link didn't help at all though, as I know how to set up the IAP, and it was working correctly, apart from the fact that I got charged. I clearly wrote that it worked, that my app was in testmode AND that I got testaccounts. I did however not mentioned that my app was ALSO in Alpha test mode.

    I thought the alpha channel was specifically for this kind of testing, and as long as I had the user’s Gmail address on the whitelist, the transaction wouldn’t post. Wrong. The whitelist is ignored for published APK versionCodes.

    In fact, it’s even a bit worse than that – the whitelist is ignored for all versionCodes less than or equal to anything published. Let me illustrate that with a concrete example:

    1. The production versionCode of my app is 9 – that’s my baseline, before I started implementing IAB.

    2. After I had a first cut of IAB done – with versionCode 10 – I published it to my alpha-test group and had a whitelisted user try it. He got charged, because 10 wasn’t unpublished.

    3. Learning from these mistakes, I uploaded a later version (13) to Google Play, but did not publish it. I then emailed the APK to some whitelisted testers, who successfully used the IAB feature without being charged.

    4. Moving closer to release, I built versionCode 14 and published it to beta. I fully expect users of this version to be charged, and they are.

    5. However: the next day, one of my whitelisted test group from step 3 – still on versionCode 13 – tried out the IAB and got charged for it. My best explanation for this is that, even though 13 is still unpublished, the whitelist is ignored, because 14 is published.
