Well I installed r91 on another computer and checked out my plugin and fixed all the problems and now it doesn't work like it did before. On r90 it still works. I'm only interested to know whats wrong and what i have to change as a learning experience.

I didn't get a error with r90 and if all i got to do is add the variable "a" it will be easily fixed.

I also didn't know about "tokenat" or i would have not made the plugin. It was a good learning experience.

I did ask how to do this a couple of days ago - http://www.scirra.com/forum/place-100-sprites-with-plugin_topic52422.html If i just would have read Mipey's second sentence i would have known what to do days ago.

I didn't use ARRAY because i didn't understand how to use it and load data into it in a easy way. Although i have no trouble using arrays in PHP & C.

I have made my first plugin for Construct 2 and it is used to parse a comma delimited string full of numbers. You set the string like "100,200,300,400" and access each number by referencing its index. Like if you want 200, this index would be 1.

I'm using it so that i can place alot of the same sprite all over the layout in a easy way.

my string is like "x1,y1,x2,y2,x3,y3" and then i reference each variable to place the sprite.

I'm having trouble with this plugin. I have made a very simple capx and it work perfectly. Then i put the same code in a already made game and it doesn't work.

When i say it doesn't work, i mean that 4 instances of the sprite are created at cordinates in the table when it works and all of them at 0,0 when it doesn't.

I have it working now, I was not using Col and Row Headers which is how you index to a value.

Well after playing around for about a hour i still don't know how to use the CSV plugin. I created a CSV file with Excel and then copied the contents to "load table" forom the CSV plugin. I then tried to access the table by using CSV.At(0,0) which did not work. I then tried CSV.At(str(0),str(0)) which only returned 0 and not the value of 50 that was loaded there. I just don't understand, is there example CAPX to look at. I already looked at the text_csv capx examples which don't show what i'm looking for.

Thank you for the VERY quick replies. I think you all pointed me in the right direction.

I thought of that to, but how do i fill the array?

I would like to place 100+ sprites at certain locations with a comma delimited text string. It will be the same sprite and not different sprites.

The format would be: x1,y1,x2,y2,x3,y3,x4,y4,...

Does this already exist? If it doesn't, would it be a behavior or plugin?

I have played that game on a ipad and it is very fun. To me it looks like it dynamically recreates the vector graphic that is the ground once you swipe your finger. I don't think we have these options in C2.

This is not complete so here it is.

Your a little knight that has to find chests of gold to build towns. Once you build 4 towns in a row you have made a kingdom and complete the only level in the game. The only thing that is holding you back is if you move your knight 5 blocks in a row, they succumb to dragons.

Movement is by left mouse clicks. You hover over the knight and you click on the block in that direction to move.

My real goal was to check for 5 of the same objects in a row using the overlapping at offset method. Well when that didn't work i got the idea to create a object that was the size of 5 objects and check to see if that overlapps and it works. I have no idea why the overlapping at offset doesn't work for me.
