Ive used the edit box in a couple of games i have created, mainly to save player and level names.

Hers a sample of the events i used:

+ SB_SAVE: Button clicked

+ System: Is global variable 'EXPORTAS' Equal to "Save"

   -> EB_SAVEASBOX: Enable

   -> EB_SAVEASBOX: Focus on

-> System: Set global variable 'EXPORTAS' to "Name ?"

-> SB_SAVE: Set text to global('EXPORTAS')

+ SB_SAVE: Button clicked

+ System: Is global variable 'EXPORTAS' Equal to "OK ?"

+ System: For each Red ordered by Red('number') Ascending

-> INI: Write string Red('id') to item Red('number') in group EB_SAVEASBOX.Text

• > EB_SAVEASBOX: Focus off

+ SB_SAVE: Button clicked

+ System: Is global variable 'EXPORTAS' Equal to "OK ?"

-> System: Set global variable 'EXPORTAS' to "Save"

-> SB_SAVE: Set text to global('EXPORTAS')

-> INI: Write value global('speed') to item 33 in group EB_SAVEASBOX.Text

-> System: Create object REDTICK on layer 2 at (0, 0) from SB_SAVE 's pivot point

-> EB_SAVEASBOX: Disable

-> LB_IMPORT: Add line EB_SAVEASBOX.Text

-> SB_MYSAVES: Set 'id' to EB_SAVEASBOX.Text

(ive indented the events relating to the edit box to make it easier to read)

Hope this helps.

i'm assuming this is the same thing your talking about? <img src="smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Latest version of the Match3 game maker.10/07/11

'Import your own images'

1, This version lets you import images or photos for the background and individual blocks or frames.

2, The finished game is saved using whatever name you choose.

Its still only a test thing.

Match3 v2

There is a 'mesh editing' tool that comes with Construct.

Go to the installation files / Tools folder....Check the PDF too!

There's "get token count" (NumTokens) expression. Use it to determine last index.

Ex:

GetToken(<string>, NumTokens(<string>, "\"), "\")

Thanks, it works.

For:

C:\Documents and Settings\brobs\My Documents\Construct1games\PHOTO.png

   + MouseKeyboard: On key Enter pressed

   -> Text2: Set text to GetToken(text1.Text, NumTokens(text1.Text, "\"), "\")

Gives: PHOTO.png

for the same drive you can use "/Photo.jpg" or "\Photo.jpg"

I don't understand what you mean?

Sorry if im missing something obvious.<img src="smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Were would it fit in the following:

GetToken(string, N [, delimiter])

Returns the Nth token in string using delimiter. The default delimiter is comma (,) if you do not specify your

own. Examples: GetToken("a,b,c", 2) gives "b", GetToken("one|two|three|four", 2, "|") gives "two"

How do i use 'Get token' to retrieve or isolate the end part of the following sentence -

C:\Documents and Settings\brobs\My Documents\My Pictures\Photo.png

So basically, i want (Photo.png)

I need a way that works regardless the length...for example :

C:\Documents and Settings\Photo.png   .....or

C:\My Documents \Photo.png

I know how to do when filling a list box,(using file object) but i can't

work out this way.

Thanks in advance.

Awesome   <img src="smileys/smiley20.gif" border="0" align="middle">. I have a question, can you please explain how the distort map works? especially the loops and also the sin and cos parts. Thanks in advance . <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle">

I,m not sure myself ! I basically downloaded the following example -

Mesh Distort By David

and just experimented with the various settings.

You can also use 'Search' to find various guides (type in Mesh distort)

Here's a couple of easy to make animation effects using distort maps.

Hi can we get the cap file to your match 3 test game maker? I'd like to learn from your code. Thanks

The logic and events are based on PixelRebirth's tutorials:

A basic puzzle example

Same answer as zeno98:

Zack0Wack0's Construct 2 Plugins

Im not 100% sure how it works, but i tried the following and it seemed to work :

1, start game, press 's' to save score. close game.

2, when i returned to the game the second time and pressed 'r' to retrieve and it loaded '25' for the score.

i might be doing something wrong, not sure.

Had a look at your cap and when it starts the following error pops up:

Resource file error -wav samples not found.(12 sounds)

The cap actually runs, but with the missing sounds you can't really test it.

Looking at the events, it looks like there's loads of sounds being activated / loaded to play on channel 2.

Here's a list of them:

+ MouseKeyboard: On key Space pressed

-> System: Create object Bullet on layer 1 at (0, 0) from Hero 's image point 1

-> XAudio2: Load resource "imphenzia_soundtrack_laser36.wav" to channel 2 (No loop)

-> XAudio2: Play channel 2

+ Hero: Value 'Health' Less or equal 0

-> Hero: Destroy

-> RESET: Make Visible

-> XAudio2: Load resource "gameover.wav" to channel 1 (No loop)

-> XAudio2: Play channel 1

+ Hero: On collision between Hero and Enemy001

-> Hero: Subtract 15 from 'Health'

-> Enemy001: Destroy

-> XAudio2: Load resource "damage.wav" to channel 2 (No loop)

-> XAudio2: Play channel 2

+ System: Hero.X-Enemy002.X is between -90 and 110

+ System: Every 1000 milliseconds

-> System: Create object EnemyLaser2 on layer 1 at (0, 0) from Enemy002 's image point 1

-> XAudio2: Load resource "imphenzia_soundtrack_laser20.wav" to channel 2 (No loop)

-> XAudio2: Play channel 2

+ System: For each Enemy003

+ System: Hero.X-Enemy003.X is between -80 and 126

+ System: Every 800 milliseconds

-> System: Create object EnemyLaser3 on layer 1 at (0, 0) from Enemy003 's image point 1

-> XAudio2: Load resource "imphenzia_soundtrack_laser30.wav" to channel 2 (No loop)

-> XAudio2: Play channel 2

-> System: Create object EnemyLaser3 on layer 1 at (0, 0) from Enemy003 's image point 2

+ System: For each Boss00

+ System: Hero.X-Boss001.X is between -80 and 126

+ System: Every 800 milliseconds

-> System: Create object BossPulse on layer 1 at (0, 0) from Boss001 's image point 3

-> XAudio2: Load resource "imphenzia_soundtrack_laser30.wav" to channel 2 (No loop)

-> XAudio2: Play channel 2

-> System: Create object EnemyLaser3 on layer 1 at (0, 0) from Enemy003 's image point 2

+ System: Is global variable 'Boss001' Less or equal 0

-> Boss001: Destroy

-> System: Add 500 to global variable 'Score'

-> XAudio2: Load resource "bigboom.wav" to channel 2 (No loop)

-> XAudio2: Play channel 2

-> System: Set global variable 'Mode' to 0

It looks like many of these might overlap or loop.

You could try just autoplaying the sounds as you need them, using a 'trigger once' to stop any looping?

example:

+ Hero: On collision between Hero and Enemy001

+ System: Trigger once

-> XAudio2: Autoplay file AppPath & "sounds\ouch.ogg" (No loop)

Hope this helps.
