  Well just in case I made you this capx:

  You should be able to modify it to your needs.

  Take a look at this .capx to see how it's done: http://www.scirra.com/forum/saving-and-loading-an-array-to-webstorage-capx_topic50970_post353466.html#353466

  Even if it's a trigger (green arrow) it should work for all objects if you use a "For Each" condition.

  Maybe it's a bug since this was just introduced in the latest beta.

  You should do something like Vee41's idea then.

  Using an array could be another idea since you can save a whole array in webstorage. Just create an instance variable on the enemies called ID, and in the editor manually change that variable for each enemy: 0, 1, 2...

  Then when you kill an enemy, set the array's X (get the enemy ID) to 1.

  And when you load the game, on layout start you can add the Array condition "Compare X" with the enemy ID.

  Anyway if you don't understand it I can explain it better, it's something I use in my game to save data.

  To save an array use this simple method: http://www.scirra.com/forum/copy-an-entire-array_topic53153_post332888.html#332888

  Edit: Actually this method won't work because I don't think you can save instance variables.

  If I understand correctly, you want to destoy the enemies that were already killed prior to saving right?

  Just create a new instant variable on the enemies object (or family), name it someting like "death", and when you kill an enemy, change that variable to 1.

  Then make a new action on layout start to destroy the enemies that have that variable to 1.

  That's a lot of memory for such a simple project, are you using a very high resolution or big images?

  Is this method supported by CocoonJS? I think with the last update they added support for this (Full native XmlHttpRequest (AJAX) support.) but I'm not sure.

  You can use the CallJS plugin to call javascript functions, but I'm not sure how to do the other things.

  Hi. I just realized the age and birthday in my profile page is wrong, and there isn't any way to modify that in the "Edit Profile" page.

  Can a mod or admin help me out?

  Birthday should be February 27th, 1986, age 27.

  Many thanks.

  You'll probably want to use a function for that. Create a "On function" condition, and on the actions add all the "Create object" you want and position them accordingly.

  Then you just need to use the "Call Function" action whenever you want all that to happen.

  I'll go with dictionary for now as it seems to work fine even in CocoonJs, although I imagine that using a method with a file like xml would be more convenient, but I don't have a lot of text anyway.

  Thanks.

  Hello. I was wondering, as of today, which method should be more appropriate for handling different game languages that also works on exporters like CocoonJs?

  I was going to go with the Load Json plugin, but since that plugin is 1 year old, I thought maybe Construct 2 has some new feature like that now. Thanks.
