  • I may not be the best person to advise on this but it's my understanding that you just need Xcode and an apple developer account to publish to the app store.

    The fact you are using an older version of macos shouldn't matter, you just wont be able to test your app on newer versions of iOS (you need the latest version of xcode to do that and xcode only updates when you update macos itself)

  • In my game the user is able to change the look of a sprite by uploading an image using the filechooser object.

    I was wondering if there was a way of saving this change so that the next time the user runs the game the sprite keeps it's new appearance?

    I've tried the save game action but that doesn't seem to work?

    Many thanks,

    Matt

  • Just realised I have posted this in the Construct 2 forum when i'm actually using Construct 3. Silly me!

    I'll repost the question there as I don't think Construct 2 plugins work in Construct 3?

  • Thank you for that, i'll give it a try...

  • Hey Asmodean,

    That did the trick! Thank you ever so much :)

  • Hello,

    I'm using an array to store the names of lots of different sprites. The user is able to change the sprites using the file chooser and then the file name amends the array as a new description of the sprite.

    I've got this working well although I cannot figure out how to remove the file extension from the string when the sprite is changed.

    At the moment I have:

    File Choooser > On Changed > Array > Set Value at 0 to FileChooser.FileNameAt(0)

    If anyone could advise how i can get the filename added to the Array without the .png or .jpeg extension I would really appreciate it!

    Many thanks

  • Thank you R0J0hound your suggestion did the trick!

    I will avoid using that file sharing site in future

  • Hello,

    I am trying to create a game where the user can measure things on screen using a 'growing ruler' or tape measure.

    The user would click and drag and as they dragged across the screen a ruler will appear allowing them to measure different objects on screen.

    I really have no idea where to start! I've had a look at the canvas plugin but am none the wiser...

    Despite this, I have tried to make an attempt in the hope of illustrating what i am trying to achieve more clearly:

    If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great!

    Many thanks,

  • Thank you so much Bruno That is a very clever solution that has saved me loads of time!

  • Hey Bruno,

    Thanks for your reply

    However I don't think i've explained myself properly...

    The amount of change that a person could receive could potentially be any number between 0.01 (1 pence) and 49.99 (change from a £50 note when buying something for 1pence)

    Each number would be represented by a different sprite eg (25pence change would be represented by a sprite of a 20pence and a 5pence) or (60pence change would be represented by a sprite of a 50pence and a 10pence)

    So i'm trying to find if there is an easier way of setting this up without having to create an IF statement for every possible combination of change?
