I was thinking if the array depths were the same, you could just push a whole row from one array to the other. Not that it's tough to iterate over a row and copy the values individually.

Sorry to necro post to this but what you're saying is if I want to move a row with unique values in each column from one array to another, I need to move it one value at a time?

Thank you, codah! You're the best.

I'm working on an RPG/Management game, and when you go to the Hiring page to hire a group of adventurers I call 3 functions On Layout Start.

On the Hiring Events page the GenerateRoster function runs successfully, the GenerateCards function runs successfully, but when I call the PopulateCards function to tie the array to the UI, nothing happens. If I pull the code outside the function, it runs successfully.

What gives?

(I've attached the .capx file, the code can be found on the Hiring Events page)

Has being on the short-list of specials over the weekend increased your volume at all? (if you prefer not to divulge I understand)

AllanR, thank you so much for taking a look at this and for your explanations. This information should be a huge leg-up for what I want to do.

I really really appreciate you taking the time to explain it all and even make changes to my .capx.

I've gotten a bit further along and I'm now generating a screen of six adventurers, each with instance variables for their stats.

The problem I have now is it continues to randomly generate stats even after filling all of the available slots. I've attached a .capx file. I'd rather have one code block that populates all six instances rather than having to make a block for each of the 6 slots if possible.

Why would you suggest one sprite for variables and one sprite for graphics?

I'm reasonably new to Construct 2. I've done a couple of the tutorials making the Ghost shooter, breakout clones, and platformers so I understand the general workflow.

I'm looking into working on my own thing now and I'm not sure how to manage a central aspect of it. From what I understand sprite is a plugin you use to create objects that you can then instantiate to create many copies.

I don't think I can use that for what I want to do. I want to create adventuring parties of 6 characters. Each character will be an object that has a number of attributes that might change, including things like a randomly selected representation graphic, 4 stats that are randomly generated, a character class that's randomly generated, etc...

Does Construct 2 have something already set up along those lines? If I use something like an array, how would I tie the generated information in the array to a represented "sprite" on the screen?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I'm Jeremy, 34 year old artist that's been looking to make games for a while now. I've tried learning C++, python, C#, Java, and Javascript and none of it seems to get through my thick skull. I get the basic concepts but putting it all together seems forever beyond me.

So I started looking at game making programs and I actually discovered Construct just as Construct 2 was getting its first release. I subsequently read that Konjak used the old version to make Iconoclasts and that he considers himself more an artist than a programmer so I've been keeping an eye on things over here.

I love the latest developments I'm seeing with Construct 2, especially with the recent releases adding WebGL and Scirra Arcade support. Time to make something playable.

Done. Great work on this Ash!
