  • What do you mean by web app? Are you using NWJS? That's the only option I know that works with steam.

  • Stick with NWJS, it's the best exporting option we have at the moment.

  • I've found that NWJS has been the most reliable desktop exporter.

    I have games on Steam with it.

    Just have to use NVPatch-UI to make it work with laptop GPU.

    And occasionally a version of NWJS doesn't work properly, so just try an older version when exporting.

    • In a sprite with multiple animations, changes to image points and collision polygons sometimes are not saved. I think this happens more often after adding/importing new animations, but I couldn't reliably reproduce this bug.

    Yeah I still get issues with this too, I've just accepted it haha. I think my workaround is to import frames then close the image editor, then open it up again to set the points.

    Poor Diego, I've been reporting origin/image point bugs since 2017, it seems like it must be really hard to get this right.

  • thanks! I'll keep that in mind. (Removed from list.)

  • As long as it works, then great! Keep at it!

    However, if you've finished a few games, then you may eventually want it more featured like supporting custom controls.

    For example here is the approach I tend to do with my games. I have a global sheet, and here is the "up" input folder:

    Then throughout other eventsheets all I need is 1 condition to see if the up input is pressed.

  • Try Construct 3

  • I'm going to use this thread to track bugs I encounter, but haven't been able to replicate - which means I can't report them. But maybe it's still helpful to myself and others to know of them.

    • Sometimes after opening the Sprite Font image editor it opens with a bright/white background, even though it's set to dark.
    • In a sprite with multiple animations, changes to image points and collision polygons sometimes are not saved. I think this happens more often after adding/importing new animations, but I couldn't reliably reproduce this bug. (Work around?: to be safe, close editor after importing images, then open it again to set them.)

  • thanks, appreciate the help!

    Unfortunately I don't know how to do scripting, just events.

    It sounds like they didn't finish doing Event support for HTMLelement.

    Yeah I ended up just using textInput, that's invisible, and with a text object that displays the contents of the textInput, since the text object allows some decent customization and BBcode.

  • I inserted an HTML element object, and I made it a text area: 

    <textarea id="textarea"
 style="width:100%; height:100%; box-sizing:border-box;
 padding:8px; font-family:monospace; border:1px solid #888;">
</textarea>

    But during preview, it seems like there's no way to actually get the text that the user types in that text area?

    Nor is there any way to get all of the changes that occur.

    Using the expression: HTMLElement.HTMLContent, will give ONLY the initial HTML (as seen above), not any changes that were made.
