  • The error is telling you the object does not support that method, so you can't use it.

    Do not change the internal details of the engine. You will just cause crashes and maintenance problems. Our SDK documentation also explicitly states we won't support you if you do that.

  • Assuming your server really is up and running, connecting to it from Construct will count as a cross-domain request, which needs some extra configuration. It's covered in the AJAX manual entry under Making AJAX requests cross-domain or in preview.

  • The language problems don't matter - Construct will just switch to a fallback string.

    The real problem is at the end:

    Exception opening: Error: missing action id 'load-json'

    This means the project is using an action that is missing in one of the addons it uses. As I said all official Construct content is fully backwards compatible, so I think my guess was right: you're using a third-party addon, and they either released an update that broke your project, or you installed the wrong version of the addon that does not have that action yet.

  • If Construct gives you a .zip file, you did not build an APK. You must have chosen a different option, like a Cordova project (which is for building an app yourself). If you rename that .zip to .apk, it's not an Android app and so it will be invalid. Make sure you choose to build an APK when exporting. You will then be able to download a file already named .apk.

    See the tutorial Building Android apps (APKs) in Construct 3 for more help.

  • Construct projects should be backwards compatible all the way back to Construct 2 projects made in 2011. Even those should still successfully open in Construct 3.

    If a project fails to open, press F12 and check for a more detailed error message in the browser console. Usually the problem is something like a broken third-party addon, or a version mismatch with a third-party addon. You might have to try to hunt down the specific versions of any third-party addons you were using in 2018, in case later updates to those addons broke your projects.

  • The provided link just returns a page not found error here.

    Usually the problem is that you either didn't upload all the files, or the server configuration is wrong. Press F12 (or Cmd+Shift+I in Safari, IIRC) and check the browser console for any error messages.

  • This is exactly the problem described in my blog post The surprising difficulty of resizing images on spritesheets. Change the project downscaling quality property to "High" and it should fix it. However it will increase the memory usage of the game.

  • Enable "unbounded scrolling", which gives you an effectively unlimited layout area. Then you can impose your own custom scrolling boundaries that can change in events.

  • Moved to Scripting forum. Please don't re-post the same thread.

  • Use a Tiled Background.

  • Try Construct 3

  • The Anchor behavior keeps objects positioned according to the edges of their bounding boxes. Rotating an object enlarges the bounding box, and so the Anchor behavior will adjust the position accordingly, which won't keep it centered.

    It should be straightforward to work around though: you could anchor an invisible non-rotating object, and pin the rotating object on top of that. Or just don't use the Anchor behavior, and position the object with events according to the system viewport expressions.

  • The engine just completely ignores the event sheet that functions are on. So there is no technical reason why moving functions to a different event sheet would affect anything. I would guess you actually changed something else which affected performance.

    I don't know what more to say about functions and triggers. They do nothing, except run when they run. Only ordinary events are checked every tick.
