  • It should all be fine if you just put them in different folders. There may be potential conflicts with dialog positions/sizing in some versions due to only one set of data being stored in the registry, but it shouldn't ever be a real problem.

  • Limit the amount it can be clicked? You could use the Timer Behavior or time conditions for this.

  • I was answering this segment of the opening post:

    SET NPC('STRING'): "MOVEMENT" & NPC('NUMERIC')

    SET NPC('STATUS'): NPC.Value(NPC.Value('STRING'))

    which attempts to dynamically read a private variable without explicitly naming it. This is not possible.

  • There's no such function currently, but I wouldn't worry too much about people modifying resources of your game. Nothing is inpenetrable and it is the loss of an individual if they choose to change the art of a game.

  • You should go through a tutorial like Ghost Shooter to fully learn the basics of Construct.

    With regard to INI files, there's an article on the wiki of their useage and format.

  • No event will not work in application mode; it differs only in that there is no display engine. To upload a .cap use the Upload forum or any free host, like DropBox.

  • From what I can gather he wants to do something like:

    Sprite("Some text" & Sprite('A number'))

    This isn't possible, you must explicitly name the variable you want to use in an expression, it can't be dynamically built at runtime through other values/expressions.

  • The event model was created before Python was introduced. In fact, Python can do less than events in some areas (as it is not quite fully integrated).

    TBS or turn based strategy behviour rich. lol

    What do you mean? I know what TBS means, but it seems like a really impractical behavior.. perhaps he has some ideas which we aren't taking into account? Separate elements of TBS games like range calculation and visibility/fog of war could be done individually, of course.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

  • I don't think what you want to do is supported (dynamic private variable grabbing). You could put the sprite in a container with a hash table, but currently you can't set up initial hash table variables, so I'm not sure if that solution will appeal to you.

  • I'd recommend you follow some tutorials before getting into areas like this, to fully ascertain the basics. There's nothing you can do using scripting that can't be done with events, for example. The Ghost Shooter tutorial should walk you through a lot of what you need to know.

  • No evidence of any spam or advertising, I think it's just someone who wants to clean their keyboard,
