Thanks, that pretty much matches mine but still get the error I posted.

So everything is setup correctly just can't use the preview to get the google information returned to the game. On the android, it has the typical google play welcome back message show up with the image etc, but none of the other things that you can do in google play can be used with Construct 3, none of the features in the documentation anyway. I will try to move to the firebase plugin I just purchased off of the Construct 3 store and see if i can use it.

Thanks again for your help.

I looked over the documentation at:

https://www.construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/plugin-reference/google-play?utm_campaign=C3Editor&utm_source=browser&utm_medium=r379&utm_term=PropertiesBar-LinkProperty

The problem is, in google play console, there is no game details section that has a header of API CONSOLE PROJECT like in the documentation, however, under "GROW" there is the Play Game Services, which has the credentials, adding the credentials of Game Server type for a web appliation OAuth client, using Web client (auto created by Google Service) which gives me the Client ID, the project is linked via firebase also with google play using the project ID. Also, in Firebase, authentication sign in method provider is set for Google. What step did I overlook?

When going into test mode, the error I get from the app in the browser preview is:

idpiframe_initialization_failed

preview.construct.net is listed as an authorized domain under client id for web application, web client (auto created by google service), authorized javascript origins. I also have construct.net listed just in case. I double checked that the client id matches that in the google plugin, this is the one ending in googleusercontent.com and listed in the Client ID field in the object type properties for Google Play.

I do not see any reason for me to get an error, it does show the login screen, goes through the login process, then with Google play -> On sign in failed is triggered with the error: idpiframe_initialization_failed

any suggestions? It works just fine when deployed to the android store for android devices and signs in, but On signed in doesn't trigger or set the player display name, so on the android side, the sign in itself works, but none of the other actionable events work.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Thank you very much for the link, I will go through those and see what else I can find and learn from. Hopefully I can get some of these final issues worked out in the next few weeks of working through them. Your assistance has been very much appreciated.

From the list of answers in the order you answered them in (thanks)

*Thanks, I didn't see the global layer and that is fixed.

The Save / Load is actually doing what I have said, I do not have a hard coded player load position in play other than the start position on the layout as a default position that is overridden if the load event runs, simply System -> Load game from slot "save1", I have spots on the map where saving can occur, waypoints, so when a player touches the waypoint, the game saves. This uses System -> Save game to slot "save1".

While in the editor on my PC, I touch the spot on the map with the player and it saves to save1 slot. Then I can build up the app and publish to google play, when loading the game on my phone, touch my main menu Load Game which uses Load game from slot "save1", it loads and takes me to the layout and the last position I had in my editor. This should not be possible, but there it is, it is what it is doing, and only coordinates, not inventory.

I have also ran into another issue with Google Play, it works on the Android to sign me in ok and I see my typical "welcome" popup, but when trying the login on the PC, it shows the web page to login, I choose my profile, sign in, it returns to the game just fine, but at no point can I get information about the player.

I know you can't get anything until the player is signed in, but after signing in, I do not get the GooglePlay.MyID, I have been through those documents pretty thoroughly and have both the firebase stuff setup and the play console stuff setup, even tried to use System -> wait for previous actions in a sub event on the Google Play sign in event I have setup but it doesn't wait and Is Signed In doesn't seem to trigger nor does Is loaded nor On loaded, or even On signed in, so still working out the why.

Many thanks for your pointer on the global layer thing, that solved a ton of cross layer issues with the HUD i designed.

Randomly, while fighting a monster, the game runs the Load game from Slot, which also doesn't seem possible, it is basically like it is reloading the layout for no reason at the last save, this is completely random, sometimes it never happens but rarely it does. Not entirely sure why on that either, seems a little bit of a bug, been through my layouts a lot to try to find if there is some weird logic, but it never happens in the editor, only in the live game.

I found simple logic to use 2 touch for different inputs, but the problem now is that i want to confine the detection of the touch to no more than the size of the controls, this way actions do not happen against multiple inputs.

The example I started with I found was for Double Virtual Gamepad, this is almost what I wanted, but if I add more objects on the HUD to work with, the controls still react to touches outside of them.

I tried adding in one more piece of logic so that it will not react to touch outside of the controls but it still reacts:

how do i change it so that either the movement or look will not react if i touch outside of them?

Ok so Safari really boils down to this on every project, so can't seem to work out a fix for it in the browser settings at all.

This is an error on Safari so far and iPad

[Error] Viewport argument key "minimal-ui" not recognized and ignored. (editor.construct.net, line 13)

Going to try a windows browser now, iPad is a dud, iOS is a dud with Safari. Maybe chrome will work.

additional debug info, this is obtained by the demonoire demo, just tried to simple preview it
