  • In documention I find this: 

     if (self.c2_callFunction) self.c2_callFunction("name", ["param1", "param2"]);

    So I create my own function: 

     CallFunction(nameFunction = "", param = []) {
 if (self.c3_callFunction && nameFunction != "") {
 if (param.length === 0) {self.c3_callFunction(nameFunction);}
 else {self.c3_callFunction(nameFunction, param);}
 }
 }

    When I test it in Preview it's all ok. Also when I export the project without script minification.

    But if I want to unbly "minify script" in the export I have to use: 

     CallFunction(nameFunction = "", param = []) {
 if (self["c3_callFunction"] && nameFunction != "") {
 if (param.length === 0) {self["c3_callFunction"](nameFunction);}
 else {self["c3_callFunction"](nameFunction, param);}
 }
 }

    My question is: what is the correct way between self.c3_callFunction("name", ["param1", "param2"]) and self["c3_callFunction"]("name", ["param1", "param2"])?

    I do not know if it's a bug or a lack in the documentation. I know for external api I must to use string syntax but I did not think it was for official API.

  • Thank you for your answer.

    I can create an optional property (Model) where you can insert the variable's name. I didn't think about injection attacks. Maybe I can put a function to sanitize external input.

    If you like, the FreeCodeCamp is a good place to start.

    In the manual I can find how to get an instance variable value by its index (GetInstanceVariableValue(index)). But I can not find references on how to get the value of a variable starting from the name.

    I can do it with some undocumented features: 

    GetInstanceVariableIndexFromName(string) {
	//return this.GetInstance()._GetAllInstanceVariableNames().indexOf(string);
	return this.GetInstance()._instVarNames.indexOf(string);
},
GetInstanceVariableValueFromName(string){
	const pos = this.GetInstanceVariableIndexFromName(string)
	return pos < 0 || pos > this.GetInstance().GetInstanceVariableCount() ? '' : this.GetInstance().GetInstanceVariableValue(pos );
}

    What is the correct way to do this using the documented features?

    I need it because I'm experimenting with one of my plugins. My idea is to be able to directly access the variables via '{{ variable }}'.

    I can get the same result by writing {{0}} {{1}}. But it's much clearer and simpler if I can write {{name}} {{surname}}.

    I'm working on my new plugin. There is still a lot of work to do. But I am already quite satisfied.

    However, this plugin is not explicitly designed to insert html elements. I'm working on a specific plugin, with some extra features.

  • This is a demo for youtube: YouTube.c3p

  • You can use this plugin: Inject CSS

    This is a simple demo: iframe.c3p

    This is a demo in the browser (you have to allow scripts to execute external scripts into iframe).

  • Strani Anelli - Motivational Quotes

    DESCRIPTION

    This plugin has two parts:

    1. the first shows a motivation quote when you launch Construct 3.
    2. the second provide a random motivational quote in your personal project

    It's possible to set 3 sources for the random quotes:

    1. the plugin's library
    2. a project file in your own project
    3. a json file from another site

    In the example file I show how to use all the 3 methods. The external source is set on FreeCodeCamp repository but you can customize it.

    HOW TO USE

    -> System: Set newQuote to MotivationalQuotes.GetQuoteJSON (as JSON)

    -> quote: Set text to MotivationalQuotes.GetQuoteFromJSON(newQuote)

  • Tonight after a couple of week finally I worked on my one touch platformer game. I decided to improve my level editor.

    I hope to add the preview options in the next days.
