  • What do you mean by textbox? Displaying text, or the edit box?

    I don't think he means the objects. I think he means a he needs help with creating a narration textbox. It's pretty simple, all you really need is a box object and a text object that is binded to the box object. You can change the text of the text object dynamically.

  • Try Construct 3

  • I would put all my events for the gameplay itself in a group. When you pause, that group is disabled and a group for the pause-specific operations would be enabled. When you quit the menu swap the groups again.

  • When can I expect to download this?

  • Certainly an interesting plugin. This would make it very easy to create multiples of the same object with different sizing and location attributes. I can see it being a bit less heavy on the CPU being one event as opposed to having to read through multiple events.

    I could see this also being great for generating large groups of slightly varying objects quick and easily. Randomly generating walls for dynamically changing dungeons specifically come to mind. I'd like to see what others can come up with using this.

  • I feel that assuming nobody will want to setup their own servers for an online program is just stunting the creation of the Online Plugin further. There are quite a few users here dedicated to their projects and are really banking on the creation of an Online Plugin.

    The plugin should be focused as it is so that the user can point to their own private server. Upon release you can see how the userbase is using the plugin and see if people are actually purchasing their own server space and utilizing the plugin. If not then you can worry about setting up a public server.

    Otherwise all this worrying about something that really should be the user's problem rather than the plugin developer's problem is just going to prevent the plugin from ever being created.

  • I heard about it from Aeal. Decided to start using it for a project for school; however, I like how it works and I'll certainly be using it for future projects.

  • Well, I know in general any form of online coding is difficult. I've looked up quite a few resources and have tried working with it myself and have really come to no avail with it. I know some guys are working on, or saying they are working on a plugin to enable full online capability to Construct which would be a fantastic addition to the program.

    For now though, I noticed there is a download file object; however, there is no upload file object. Granted that downloading requires significantly less server interaction than uploading. I think a great temporary solution for online interactions for those of us that only require more simple methods of online capabilities could be through the use of an Upload file object so that applications would be able to at the least be able to share data by uploading and downloading from a server.

    Of course I am a rather savvy coder myself, I'd gladly help with a plugin for Uploading, or even with the full Online plugin itself. I would do it all myself, but when it comes to network coding I really wouldn't know where to start; though, I do believe I can be of great assistance working with someone that has greater experience with it than myself.
