  • What do you mean by "replace the existing teams.txt"? You can't physically replace a project file with some other file in runtime.

    What you can do is ignore the project file and load the data from the file provided by user.

    If you want to save the data between sessions, you will need to save the list of teams (either from the project or provided by the player), say, in Local Storage. Then the logic could be something like this: 

    On start of the game:

 If Local Storage has saved data -> Load teams from Local Storage
 Else: 
 ...Ask if the player wants to use standard teams
 ...If yes -> Load from teams.txt
 ...Else -> show FileChooser dialogue and load from selected file


At the end of the session/level -> Save current teams in Local Storage

  • Could it be with an extra behavior and control the x position at all times?

    I'm not sure what you mean. Could you share your project file or a screenshot of events?

  • All your events run on every tick (repeated 60 times per second or even more). What's even worse is that you are using "Wait" action in such events. This means that the delayed actions will continue to run for 1 second even after the condition has become false, changing variables, stopping audio, changing animations. This will very likely break your game!

    All these checks can and should be performed in the same event where the hungryScore is changed - simply add sub-events. Then you won't even need that boolean. 

    // Main event
Character on collision with Food: Subtract 1 from hungryScore

 // Sub-events
 If hungryScore=1 : do this
 Else If hungryScore=2 : do some other thing
 Else If hungryScore=3 : do something else

  • FileChooser Click action only emulates a click on this object. You still need to wait for the user to pick the file they want to load.

    So you can't put AJAX Request immediately after that. You need to use "On changed" trigger and request the selected FileURL, not "teams.txt":

  • Hi Ashley, Thanks for considering this!

    I found this project:

    github.com/actions/stale

    If I understand correctly, by setting days-before-stale=365 and ignore-updates=true, all issues would be unconditionally marked as stale after a year. And it’s possible to auto-close stale issues as well.

    However, I'm still unclear about your approach to popular suggestions with lots of votes. Are you reviewing them regularly throughout the year, or only before the annual purge/archiving in January? What should people do if their idea has received lots of votes but ends up being closed after a year without any feedback from you?

  • Thanks for the reply, but I don't want a mirrored depending on rotation

    It won't be if you use Sprite.Pathfinding.MovingAngle expression.

  • No, you need this API:

    github.com/PsychoGoldfishNG/NewgroundsIO-JS

    Download NewgroundsIO.min.js script from Dist folder and add it to the project. Set its purpose to "Import for events". Then you will be able to use its methods. For example: 

    	NGIO.init("39685:NJ1KkPGb","qsqKxz5dJouIkUNe3NBppQ==", {
		version: "1.0.0",
		checkHostLicense: true,
		autoLogNewView: true,
		preloadMedals: true,
		preloadScoreBoards: true,
		preloadSaveSlots: true,
		debugMode: false
	});
	
	NGIO.unlockMedal("name");

  • Event #3 is wrong, this is not how you use raycasting. Have you seen the official example?

    Instead of the overlapping check you need to use "ray intersected" condition. And set the laser width to LineOfSight.hitdistance

  • You can compare Sprite.Pathfinding.MovingAngle 

    + System: Sprite.Pathfinding.MovingAngle is between -90 and 90 degrees
-> Sprite: Set not mirrored

+ System: Else
-> Sprite: Set mirrored

  • You can add 10*60*1000 to the clock variable every 1 second - this will equal to 10 minutes in milliseconds.

    Then convert that value to days/hours/minutes using Date expressions. For example Date.GetHours(clockVar) will return the number of hours.

    See the official example for the Date plugin.

    Use "AJAX Request URL" action. Also I really recommend studying the documentation and a few tutorials. Many of the questions you ask are pretty basic.
