  • that is great stuff to know, some of these charting libraries also require you to attach a css file as well. just including the css file in the project does not attach it to the page. in a case like what is the recommended approach?

    should we append to the head element when the pages loads up? or does construct have a way to include any css file import as a style tag?

  • You can't collapse a whole event sheet script block at the moment but I think this is something we will do in future.

    That would be very awesome, thanks!

    code folding will be invaluable for long javascript files!!!!

    this is not really important, but i hope you guys consider it for the future!

  • i was able to solve this by mixing both events and js

    the way i solved this was by having a function whose condition picked object by using is on screen in system. that function executed sciprtInEvents, where it would iterate the picked instances and and push them to my queue. 

    var instances = runtime.objects.Moveable.getPickedInstances();
for(let i of instances){
	//queue up instances that appear on screen 
	turnSystem.queue.enqueue(i);
}

    then from my turn system class. i execute this function at the start of every turn cycle. you need to have a different mindset when trying to reason about events and java script together. but so far it's turned out to be really powerful.

  • Using the scripting API, do we have access to the view port coordinates? I want to create a filter like the system condition is on screen for the instance. Is that possible with properties exposed now (did i miss it) or is that something that is coming in the future?

  • okay thanks, just making sure you guys did not have a better way!

  • instances have a tesOverlap(wi) and testOverlapSolid() would it be possible to include these same functions with an overload for offset?

    as of now the way to achieve this is to manually alter the position of you object, check for overlap then revert the position back. is that how the check is performed for the equivalent actions in events? if it is, then it's not really a big deal, and just running that logic manually will be sufficient, but if you guys are doing something extra that might be faster, then the addition to this in the scripting api would be pretty helpful.

  • OHHHH i know whats going on, I create the player instance through event. this sub instance ctor only gets called when it's created through script. as soon as i created the playerMask instance from javascript the ctor got called correctly. Is that a discrepancy between the event logic and js? will the create action call the subclass ctor?

  • is it possible to set multiple object types to the same custom class? for example 

    runOnStartup(async runtime =>
{
	runtime.objects.PlayerMask.setInstanceClass(MoveableEntity);
	runtime.objects.EnemyMask.setInstanceClass(MoveableEntity);
});

    In the constructor of MoveableEntity i am logging the instance, and i am only getting back the object of type EnemyMask.

    so i am wondering if you can set multiple object types to use the same subclass.

  • Would it be possible to expose the sprite image data in that interface? Also whats about the Sprite animation data? will those have a separate interface? or will they be added to the sprite interface?

  • Will you guys document the CSS Properties for users to be able to create custum themes around the background color & syntax highlighting for both inline JS and JS script files? That would be so great!!!!

  • okay deployed a fix, sorry i was kinda careless with one of the previous updates and i impacted some systems which i did not account for, and i got lazy with my automated test, it should be working now (hopefully)
