I am trying to test a multiplayer game, so tried to open a remote preview on another device. But is always returning 'error: join failed'. That's even before connecting to the signalling server, on an 'offline' layout. I tried to remote preview some other NON-multiplayer games and always returns the same error. It is not about my multiplayer events. I cannot remote preview at all. I thought it might be something about device's webGL, but happens on every one. Could be a bug or should I set or check something on the browser, for instance?

Ok, no slow down. So, as long as I don't loop through the array/JSON everytick and it is not really big, I won't notice.

Then I am sticking to JSON as standard. It safes me translating the format and allows the use of same structures for the project files and DB from the server (c2array:true size:blabla data:blabla.... off). Needn't parsing backwards AsJson for uploading either.

Moreover it feels rather natural having each item's data nested inside it, instead of deploying sorted data by index. Retrieving and inserting without tokenat nor looping. Just string path. Definitely JSON.

Thanks a lot.

I haven't been able to find any topic on this, since most posts about arrays are before the new built-in JSON plugin was born.

I am making a card game and have serious doubts about the way to arrange the deck. There will be much card sorting, which used to be done with arrays. Yet I have seen that, though not on the manual, there are pop/push, sort and insert/delete actions for the JSON object.

My question is- since JSON is supposed to be quite fast at accesing for it uses path ID, would it be performance wiser to work straight with a JSON, instead of loading an array?

However, on the documentation, Ashley says Construct JSON is not actually on native layer Javascript. So I am a bit confused.

I don't need the data to be sorted in rows&columns anyway.

Would it be faster to handle a deck of cards by parsing a JSON or loading an array? Do loops and tokenAt behave the same with both? Or the JSON path stuff speeds it further up?

I mean reading and writing too. Pretty much shuffling and sorting, like I said.

Maybe Ashley can give me a hint.

Nevermind. I was answering his first post, where, if you take a look at his snippet screenshot, the object compared was the player. and he wasn't comparing to zombie object, but to an expression from the system condition. Simply was the position of a zombie refered, but not its instance picked.

If you say system compare object1 to (position where object2 is) it doesn't pick object2. That was my point. So be two objects2, runtime 'crashes' for there is not fixed reference, but several to choose from at the time of setting animation.

System needs to know which zombie are you talking about, for the action itself is setting a different anination to that specific zombie that is near the player, but not the rest. With the previous one, at the pkayer getting close to ANY zombie without picking, system will animate... which one? It doesn't know.

Now I see after your comments, which I apologize not reading before posting, je changed the comparison to the zombie object, so now it's fine. I got late.

Or set an instance variable to every character/enemy/obstacle height, so that you can compare to enable or disable solid.

IF

System compare two values: Character.Height > Obstacle.Height

THEN

Character set solid disabled

And by my very little experience, if no physics involved nor a proper platformer, I'd use XY position conditions rather than collision or overlap.
