  • The text doesn't change by itself, there must be some event that changes it, right? You can update colors in that event.

    Or create a function which changes text. But make sure to replace all tags in a variable first, before assigning the text to the text object.

  • My guess is that this is a bug with Pathfinding behavior. Enemies can't find path although there are no solid obstacles on the layout. Perhaps C3 engine tries to re-use the obstacle map from the first layout and somehow it doesn't work.

    I suggest you file a bug report:

    github.com/Scirra/Construct-bugs/issues

  • Ok, that explains poor performance. You are changing lots of text objects many times, and repeat this on every tick. Say, if you have 10 texts on the layout, from what I can see on the screenshot, you are making 10*11*60=6600 text updates per second, maybe more.

    An obvious fix is to not update them on every tick. Change colors in the same event where you assign texts to text objects, or in "On object created" event.

    You can also reduce the number of text updates if you replace all tags in a string variable first. For example: 

    BBCodecolors On Created
 Local variable s
 Set s to BBCodecolors.text
 Set s to replace(s, "&0", "[/color][color=black]"
 Set s to replace(s, "&1", "[/color][color=darkblue]"
 ...
 BBCodecolors set text to s

  • Updating a couple of texts on every tick shouldn't cause such big drop in performance.

  • Are you using BBcode? It should not consume much cpu. Can you post your project file?

    You can also check these examples:

  • I have no idea what you are asking about. You need to post some pictures or videos or your project file.

  • igortyhon's reply is a bit harsh, but I agree - it makes no sense to use so many functions. It's impossible to understand what's going on in the code.

    Use breakpoints and Debug Preview (Shift+F4) to debug your code. Although breakpoints sometimes don't work in functions.

    Also I suggest using Browser Log action. For example:

    Browser Log "CurrentTestNum=" & CurrentTestNum

  • Arrays in C3 are stored in JSON format. For some reason the editor doesn't recognize that your JSON is an array. Try changing the array size in that popup window, for example increase array depth. Close/re-open the array, maybe it will revert to table form.

  • Nah, maybe someone else will be able to help. I've given two solutions already.

  • Like I said, I can't make sense of your code. Here is my attempt, it's not pretty, but perhaps you will find it useful:

    dropbox.com/scl/fi/u6l027n6mai1oqvikgow9/TextResizing.c3p

  • I'm not sure what's going on in your code.

    If you want to change font size with the sprite size, the easiest solution is to add them to a hierarchy. You can do this temporarily, and remove text from hierarchy after resizing.

    Another option is something like this:

    Text set font size to 18*(Spaceship.width/Spaceship.imageWidth)

  • No, it's an old thing, I remember using these expressions in C2.
