I currently have 2 games that demonstrate how to mix events and java script, they are not really tutorials but going through might help a bit. you can get the c3p files here

https://www.patreon.com/posts/word-finder-28761484

with that said It would be nice to see some more official templates integrating the scripting feature

I couldn't find any of the tutorials, have they been removed?

I agree with Doop

will be nice to have more scripting Temples to study if possible:

Example:

I'm stuck how to pick by UID

or

How to filter the picking using scripting

or

How to check an instance Boolean if is true or Check instance Variable

or

How to set a boolean to false

or

How to check if an object is Solid because has the solid behaviour

etc....

Also, I think important info like this:

Scripting has no concept of picking. That whole concept is unique to Construct's event system. However you can access the picked instances from script using the IObjectClass methods, e.g. the pickedInstances() iterator.

It should be more accessible, for example here:

construct.net/en/forum/construct-3/scripting-51/getting-started-javascript-144301

That's is the first place I went to start with the scripting.

And also I think anyone that comes from using C2 and picking, UID, etc... like me, he would like to know what is the alternative for

"Scripting has no concept of picking"

And stuff like that, because I spend many hours today looking how to pick by UID but still couldn't find it yet

Thanks for scripting, by the way, it's really Awesome to have it and is gonna be really helpful to learn to code

I have resolved my issue.

Hi DFORMS

Do you mind sharing how did you do it?

I can't find anywhere on the Manual or the C3 Examples

I would like to know how to Pick an instance by UID From a dictionary Value or a variable or just how to pick by UID in general

Ps: I'm new to Js so I have no clue at all I'm just learning

Thanks

tarek2, yeah, took me a while to figure out that after you do "Simulate control", condition "Is moving" will still be false until the end of the tick. Not sure if this is a bug, but other behaviors (8direction, platform) start moving in the same tick.

I see, it makes sense now why it doesn't work when is at the bottom but I still think is a bit unintuitive especially for new beginners but hey the behaviour its been around for some time now and no one reported it, so looks like no one has a problem with it lol )

I don't use it normally I use "MoveTo" behaviour most of the time so for me doesn't bother me much.

Also, another thing that I notice is that the Condition "is Not moving" is a bit misleading because it behaves more as "MoveTo >>>> on Hit Target"

Example:

Right Key its Down >>> MoveRight

If you keep moving right none stop then still the "is Not moving" condition it will fire up on each tile even if you didn't stop moving so its look more like on "Hit Target" condition

I will instead do it like MoveTo where it has the same thing but separated into two conditions:

1-Is Moving

2-Oh Hit Target

The "MoveTo" >>>>("is Moving" << Inverted) condition it will not run unless you stop moving

That's why the "TileMovement"-- "is Not Moving" it feels like they have both conditions in one

Anyway, it was a good thread to refresh everything about "TileMovement" as I didn't use it since it came out.

Np steve1984 glad it's sorted out)

Ho yeah, I didn't even look on the Animation sorry, I thought you still have to work it out because it looked unfinished the events.

However, if you want to count for every possible situation to get the right animation and Direction + Smoothenes you are gonna need to rework a bit more the events for that.

I had to remove all the events because it didn't count for some situations

Example:

If you are in a corner-blocked by solids from the (Top & Right) and the player is looking up but you start pressing right it will not change the animation to "Idle_Right" it will just stay on "Idle_Up", this is just an example of many situations that you need to count for.

If you want to see what I mean check the last Example from dop2000 it has those problems swell

========================

Another Example:

Will be if you going Left and you stop in a Tile and below you have two rocks on the next two tiles down so you start pressing down you cannot move because the path is blocked by the rocks but the animation still keeps looking Left even you are pressing Down.

Basically, you want the player to look always on the direction it's pressing even if he cannot move to that Direction.

Here is the new one with the Animation fixed:

Check it properly because Not sure if it's 100% Bug-free:

Ho sorry I though the player needed to push first the rock, I see what you need now, see if this is what you need, this Tile buy Tile

https://www.dropbox.com/s/rdkwpgcemiq40yv/pushblocktest3.c3p?dl=0

====================

mm not sure what's going on but If you try to do a continuous movement instead of Tile by Tile like my last Example :

It looks like there is a bug with the condition is not moving I think is triggering before the rock stops moving and sets the solid before time? this makes the player do small stuttering.

The only way I managed to fix it it's by setting the solids manually adding a boolean and few more variables but it shouldn't need to add those extra things.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/bxd4d7envpp5lu6/pushblocktest4.c3p?dl=0

So you have two now, one continuous Moving and the other Tile by Tile, Pick the one you like

When you stand next to any rock the overlap its always true, if you stand next to 3 rocks it will pick 3 of them this is without pushing and just standing next to them.

If you look at your gift, the first rock you push to the right then you go away to go around to the Second rock when you move away from the first rock you give space of one tile and that's enough to no overlap any rock so the "Event 26" can be true and make all the rocks solid.

But when you coming back of pushing the second rock you never stop overlapping the rocks you pass next of both of them making them None solid because "Event 9" is true for each of them because you oberlap one by one, that's why when you push the last rock to the right both of the rocks are no solid, if you want to make them no solid you need to go away at least one tile far like when you first push.

So the Logic is wrong plus you checking for collision constantly unnecessary when you are next to any rock even if you don't push, you could save collisions check for better performance.

Maybe by doing something like this:

Capx: dropbox.com/s/o2gq5furliw8hsp/pushblocktest2.c3p

Event 19:

when you create "LogOBJ" you make the object move with "MoveTo" behaviour but that object has always active the Sine behaviour and that causes the bug that freezes the Game, both behaviours are active at the same time and they try to manipulate the (X,Y) of the object creating conflict

Solution: when you create that object before you make it move with "MoveTo" deactivate the sine behaviour

====================
