  • Oh nice, yeah I just picked any element fb-root was just there. Thanks for the detailed explanation 👍. It's really helpful

  • Has anyone worked with the HTMl Drag and drop API inside of construct?

    https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTML_Drag_and_Drop_API/File_drag_and_drop

    It seems like preventing the default behavior of the drop is not working correctly.

    here is a small test project i was using? to just get the drop handler to fire, but it would never hit the debugger statement.

  • Chrome also uses seperate processes for each tab, so if you have chrome open with a ton of tabs and or extensions then your chrome process will be using more resources... I have see no difference between the two and I have a pretty crappy computer.

    Ashley The remote preview is great, but having a way to open chrome dev-tools would be nice, the default f12 does not seem to work?

  • Ashley I agree with you, you can get kinda close parity with enum behavior by having an empty plugin like sprite and adding instance variable, not really sure how constant instance variables would work unless the object in question is a singleton. (if you have multiple instances, you would have to pick one to get its corresponding value). another thing that is also concerning most of the existing plugin come with extra functionality which might not be needed. if the work around is the preferred choice, it should be its own object type (not associated with sprite, which has has rendering/world properties etc), that should also allow for modifications if you wanted to expand upon it in the future. kinda of like the journey of the function plugin, it was a separate plugin for a long time until it became a first class citizen of then engine.

  • That depends you can have a constant value that means none, normally -1 or just convert it to default value and log a warning? all those little things have to fleshed out? also what would something like this really buy you? the same effect can kinda be accomplished with an empty object type and instance variables?

    it would be nice to be able to reference the enum as the integer value but also the name, and there should probably be a set of ACES around handling such a structure? another question is can this data be modified at runtime? or is it just a static list of values?

    there is also another idea for this since they are pretty similar (just where) maybe they could be merged construct3.ideas.aha.io/ideas/C3-I-207

  • while i think ENUM data types would be a great addition to construct, they need to be added holistically to the engine not just as function params,

    i agree with dop2000 not being able to use an expression in this case would really limit you, but with that said there might be a middle ground?

    enums are really just integers, lets say you were able to define them like you do a variable (global) you could have a new data type for function param called enum (which will really just take any enum type or expression) so instead of typing out a string you could do MyEnum.Choice, and the actual value of this would be the the assigned integer of Choice in the enum. this should still give you scoped intellisense but also allow for expressions based on the enum, and they could be useful outside of function params as well.

  • so the game starts up fine, no console errors, its just the editor reporting back false positives, also the highlighting of the same selected word, also highlights white space which looks a bit weird, will fill bug for this later.

  • The javascript editor is displaying error messages, did something change recently in the newest beta? with the linting?
