So, been out since October of 2018, coming back to return and work on what i worked on a year ago, doesn't work, so i figured ok, try the demo projects in review, nothing loads to run, Safari gives a generic, not useful error that it just broke, and nothing runs on the iPad.

I haven't tried windows yet, but clearly if not even the demo projects will work on the iPad or Safari on the Mac Book Pro, it is not just my project that is broke, any general suggestions? This is bizarre

My Safari is reporting as:

You really need both.

Remember, the engine runs about 60 loops a second or more, so a loop in a loop is something you use sparingly, each object is a container, so your enemy is a container, you just need to check for a local event or variable against that object, and only objects that match a condition, its overkill trying to check all in the layout, and from my experience, so far no real need of using foreach yet, all personal opinion of course

thanks, that was the steps i was needing and missed, i presumed that the array load would allow me to load from source being a URL to the json, i looked everywhere for this information that you graciously provided to me, sample projects like this short and sweet example really need in the docs, thanks again rhg1968

3 very important things here that need addressed in the documentation

1) how to structure your json data for Construct 3

2) using ajax to capture the data in a download from a url

3) using the array load to then move that data into the array

and a very important 3a, when you load it in, the array is essentially overwritten, not appended to, so a LoadAppend would be nice, although impractical right now based on how it is coded

No, i have switched on the developer console in chrome but nothing stands out, my logic is simple, on layout load, load from Json into array

Thanks, then i must be doing something really wrong, i have my array, i have it set to load from json, giving it a url of "https://www.cyborgsattack.com/files/ScriptedConversation.json" but this doesn't load anything into my array.

i would have expected that my array.at(0) would have a number 1 in it, but it has 0 in all array elements

Sorry, dumb question, but i need the syntax for the JSON file that will load from the URL, all i have to go off of is:

{"c2array":true,"size":[5,1,1],"data":[[["tiger"]],[["rabbit"]],[["mouse"]],[["lion"]],[["cow"]]]}

but this doesn't load, obviously made for C2, so what is c3 Syntax?

I've tried to use "Load from JSON String" into my array, nothing loads, and i point at that information which is in a json file on my web server.

Thanks

(again, sorry for stupid question here, but can't find any tutorials that contain this info and the manual doesn't contain the layout either)

instead of 40 pixels use something like 100*dt (note that is DT in lower case) I learned this early on, increase the number or decrease that number based on how fast or slow you want to move.

No, you have 26 events in free version, the free version is almost limitless and as a new person to the engine, it's unlikely in 26 events you can run into limitations.

You can write an entire game in 26 events.
