Anyone else getting a weird error when saving to the cloud?

It's been fine up until v199. I see "Unknown error while saving ***.c3p to One Drive".

I figured I could just get around this by changing saving to my hard drive instead until the new build and this "bug" is patched out, but C3 doesn't recognize when I save offline. Each time I press CTRL-S it asks me where in the cloud I want to save... even though I JUST saved it to the hard drive.

Super annoying.

So, yeah, anyway, anyone else going through this?

Can anyone tell me why events still run even when I hit the pause button in the debug screen?

This is starting to become quite annoying, as in Construct 2 I would occasionally pause the game, then go through frame by frame to see what's happening.

This is a big problem now with physics objects. I select a physics object from the debug list, then pressing the pause button, and while the object on screen freezes, the object highlighter continues to move. It then goes off screen and the object is destroyed and it's removed from my list... while it's paused.

Again, this is a direct conversion from Construct 2, and in there it actually pauses.

I've tried the physics on both fixed and framerate independent. Is there a setting I'm missing? A "Make Pause actually pause" button?

Physics is just one example. If I have my level restart after 10 seconds, even when paused the game will restart after those 10 seconds have passed.

Also... I'll likely bring this up in another thread at some point, but is anyone else seeing a HUGE cpu increase from C2 to C3? In C2 I was hitting 2-4%. In C3 the exact same project is averaging around 12-20%.

This is on a screen with zero sprites. When I look in the CPU profiler I can see the engine/other reaching 8% or greater. What's going on there then?

You need to extract the name of the color into a text variable, and then do something like this:

.

Or you can get the numerical values for all 9 colors and replace them in the database. For example, "blue" is -1049599

Thanks!

That's what I ended up doing, but with that token expression. When I tried to write "rgbex(0,0,0)" or (0,0,0) into the number instance variable, it wouldn't let me. I didn't then think to simply write it in as an action.

Did this 2 weeks ago :D

I have a database that has saved 350 drawings from Construct 2. I have the X Pos, the Y Pos and the colour.

Example - 256,720,black

However, for some reason I can't get my head around, in Construct 3 I can no longer simply put in a colour. Instead, I have to have 256,720,rbgex(0,0,0).

"Ok, that's fine," I thought, "I'll just set up a few events that will change black to the rgba codes."

So I create a string variable, then if it detects "black" in the 3rd array, it'll change it to the rbgex code.

However, that doesn't work because the Drawing Canvas can only work with numbers. If I try to put my new colour variable into it, it won't work.

So I change the variable into a number instead. However, now I can't have "rgbex" at the start! In fact, I can't even use the commas separating the numbers!

In the end I went back over to the string variable and used a tokenat expression.

So... just to confirm:

Construct 3 = rgbEx(int(tokenat(Drawing.Colour,0,",")),int(tokenat(Drawing.Colour,1,",")),int(tokenat(Drawing.Colour,2,",")))

Construct 2 = black

Give me a break! Please, someone tell me there's an easier way! I now have to go in and set this up for every colour I decided to use. Luckily for me, I only used about 9 colours, but what would I do if I had used more? Is there a smarter way to do this?

I love Construct 3, but I'm hating this one step forward, one step back feeling I'm getting.

So after 6 months of trying to get this to work, and a month of silence from this forum, I posted a bug report, then got a response the next day XD

"UWP uses the (legacy) Microsoft Edge browser engine, which does not support WebRTC DataChannels, which is what the Multiplayer plugin uses. Therefore multiplayer isn't (and has never been) supported in UWP.

The new Chromium-based Edge supports WebRTC as it inherits it from the Chromium engine used by Google Chrome. However it's not yet clear when or how this support will come to UWP."

This means that it will not work, and will likely never work in the near or foreseeable future.

Hope this message helps someone else in the future though! Don;t waste your time like I did! The future is very much single or local player :D

As nobody responded, I'm going to temporarily assume that nobody has tried to do this before :)

C2 Version = https://1drv.ms/u/s!Am3CPIM7woZ9hr4IOlvQEvOTBAMVDA?e=9pd4p7

C3 Version = https://1drv.ms/u/s!Am3CPIM7woZ9hr9R0pnyDWUGEMDZVg?e=nPXgd4

If that is indeed the case, could some kind hearted person please try opening one of these versions, exporting it out as a Windows Store project, opening it in Visual Studio, and then successfully run it?

By looking at the project you can see that all it's trying to do is connect to the Scirra multiplayer server. Testing the program within Construct, as well as running it as a desktop or html will connect immediately. However, as soon as I try it in Visual Studio, it fails to connect.

I have been in contact with Microsoft about this for weeks, and they can't seem to find out what the problem might be. I have no idea whether it's an issue on their end, a setting I've failed to turn on on my end, or an error with Construct 2 and 3.

Please could somebody help me out?

Thanks, Ashley!

It's been sent :)

So I can set up multiple headers with multiple actions.

Thanks again, Ashley!

Twitch are making some changes to the way their details are requested. In order to speed things up, I needed to generate a Client ID and a Bearer Token for my app, however, I've only ever needed to run the Bearer Token as my AJAX Header... until now, apparently.

Starting on April 30, 2020, Helix will require the following:

Use of OAuth across all endpoints, either via an app access token or user access token.

The client ID provided in the corresponding header must match the client ID used to generate the OAuth token.

At first I didn't think this was an issue. After all, I figured I'd just need to add in a line action calling a second header after the first is called. However, I then looked at the Scirra manual, and noticed the following:

Set request header

Set a HTTP header on the next AJAX request that is made. After the next AJAX request all the headers set with this action are cleared again, so it only takes effect once.

Is this going to have a negative affect, or am I free to include as many headers as I'd like?

Are the headers ONLY cleared once the request is made as the manual suggests, or if I call a second header, is the first replaced? If so, am I meant to call both headers in a single action?

Thanks in advance!
