Is there any way to check the contents of a Dictionary object, via Construct or by looking at file contents?

As far as I know the only way is to run a For Each Key event in Scirra and dump the string contents in-game, but it would be nice if there was a quicker alternative.

scirra.com/tutorials/303/how-to-export-to-cocoonjs/page-1
This tutorial covers a lot of important imformation about exporting to Cocoonjs, but it might not be updated every time Construct updates.

If WebStorage doesn't work for you, the Dictionary feature may be a nice substitute.

What's wrong with using an iterating variable? For each X element, if MyArrayCur.X = 0, variable + 1. You can come up with alternatives, say dumping the array content to a text string and checking for how many 0's pop up, but that shouldn't be any different than updating a variable. It shouldn't make a heavy difference performance-wise.

I don't know exactly what you're asking for, but you can change the playback rate with Audio - Set Playback Rate - And you can identify the music/sfx and variable to reference for the speed.

Basic speeds are 1.0 normal, 0.5 half, 2.0 double If you're using numbers like 300 for speed, then you could try (speed / 100) for the playback rate.

Maybe a minimum or maximum limit to prevent too fast or too slow music, you can experiment with different speeds to hear what sounds good or not.

Imagepoints, one of the handy yet under-rated tools. It may not cover every way to work with Imagepoints, but it covers the fundamentals. And no copyright infringement either, that's a plus!

Question: Does the copyright infringement count for music in the video? It's one thing to claim you created a song, but on the other hand it seems like half of the submitted videos use music they probably didn't create themselves...

Hello! My name is Ben Ward, and I'm here to make a great app without having to think about coding! That's rather funny because my main field is programming.

Anyways, I grew up playing video games just like most others here, rather forced onto it by my parents as a babysitting device, like some others. 20 years later, equipped with Unity3D and Construct and a passion for accomplishment, I'm here to make a game!

My first app will be a solo effort as I can provide the coding, art assets, and sound effects myself; however I am a sucker for helping others achieve their goals, so I just might get sucked into a few projects in the Help Wanted threads. No guarantees on my forum activity, so to be on the safe side, see you later in the Help Wanted section!
