  • Hi oosyrag,

    I reworked the file earlier today and the text is displaying now. I'm still not sure what I changed. I wanted to ask if there's a way to add a third item into the combining "recipes", for example, combine three items instead of two? I've tried adding an extra global variable and matching events but it prevents all items being combined. The code's currently nearly identical to Laura_D's original: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ybqEwpb8Bc9oyXQI6gTE43jzFVp43tXw/view?usp=sharing

  • Could anyone give a brief explanation as to how modify this to make a line of text appear with "You made a [insert item name here]" when the two items are combined?

    I've tried adding a text object and an "itemDescription" line in the json file, then using "set text to JSON.Get(".itemDescription") but it always displays "0" instead of the text. I'm still very new to JSON so have probably missed out a lot of steps.

  • Many thanks Laura_D, this looks really helpful. :)

  • Thanks, oosyrag. The game's still very early in development but I was thinking along the lines of dragging and dropping items to combine them.

  • Hi,

    I'm trying to implement a feature where the player selects two (or possibly more) items from an inventory and combines them to make a new item, depending on which items were combined. I want to use arrays (unless there's an easier method), but can't work out what events I need to do this.

  • Hi,

    Could someone please explain what to put in the "Key alias" field when compiling a signed APK for Android? I've read the "Building a signed apk for Android in Construct 3" tutorial but am still a bit confused. Thanks in advance.

  • Many thanks, Cascade Games and Simple Games,

    I've changed it to to "Show:true" and it's working now. I forgot to mention my Admob account was new and unverified at the time, which might have stopped the ads from displaying.

  • Hi,

    I've been trying to test whether Admob banner ads are working via testing my app on an android device. No ads are displaying so it looks as though they aren't loading. So far I've tried exporting unsigned release APK, which gives me the error message "App not installed" when I try to load and open it on my phone, and debug APK, which works but doesn't display ads.

    This is the code I've been using:

    I'm new to this so there could be any number of things I'm doing wrong. Any advice would be really appreciated.

  • Hi,

    I'm using the below layout and have an invisible camera sprite following the main character sprite using lerp. How do I get a sprite on a separate layer to always appear in the centre of the screen no matter where the main character is positioned?

    The closest I've got is by using scroll.x and scroll.y but occasionally the sprite appears slightly off-centre.

  • Thanks, Noah1.

  • Hi,

    I have a sprite set to "set angle towards Mouse.X and Mouse.Y. How do I get the sprite to rotate within a range of degrees when following the mouse, for example 0 to 180 degrees, instead of the current 360?

  • Thanks, Tomycase.

    I've changed it to "Pick Random Instance" and it works, but now each item has the same animation when created. The "Set Animation" action seems to have stopped working.

  • Hi,

    Sorry about that. I've recently made a little progress by making a few changes to this tutorial: construct.net/en/tutorials/creating-inventory-arrays-475

    I'm now able to get items stored in the array to spawn when the box object is touched, but can only get all stored items to spawn at once. I'm currently using "for each X element". What should I change this to to make only one object spawn per touch?

  • Hi Tomycase and lionz,

    I originally planned to use an array but haven't been able to get it to work. Any advice on how to collect and store items using the array would be really helpful.

  • I have a setup where a character collects items, which are then 'stored' in a box in another layout. How do I get a random collected item instance to spawn every time the box sprite is clicked or touched?
