[quote:3g252y0v]Updates do not wipe installed plugins, since they are also installed to %appdata%\Construct2\plugins which the installer should never touch. If you delete this folder as well as the install directory, all your plugins will consequently be uninstalled.

Thanks for the reply, this explains a lot! Since nobody seems to be able to reproduce this, problem is obviously on my side.

Cheers!

I've played with hacking on physics plugin. I found it useful to create joints between objects with picking by uid (if i'm right you can currently pick an object only in editor). it was simple but very useful edit, maybe you could implement something like that in your plugin.

Regarding edittime properties, please give more detail, not sure what's going on...

Problem Description

Sometimes after C2 re-install/update i'm missing some/all previously installed third party plugins and behaviours.

Steps to Reproduce Bug

• Install C2
• Install third-party plugin/behaviour
• reinstall/update C2

Observed Result

After reinstall sometimes i'm missing all/some plugins/behaviours. I saw this problem multiple time, although i couldn't pinpoint what causes this issue so i refrained from posting this issue. On average every 15 re-installs i loose some plugins. Also, i've done multiple re-installs of my whole system in between this bug occurring, so i'm 99% sure it's not linked to my system. Seems that uninstall sometimes cleans the whole install folder. Maybe it's possible to load third party plugins from some external location on hard drive?

I haven't saw any posts of this problem so i'm not sure is this a problem on my side, but it happened again after updating to r175 so i'm posting here. Also, i'm interested am i the only one seeing this problem.

Expected Result

All third party plugins and behaviours remain intact

Affected Browsers

Operating System and Service Pack

There was a great example of what you need some time ago on the forums, try to search for "physics platformer" or along those lines.

I'll try to find example capx on my harddrive.

edit: nope, couldn't find it, it was long time ago. Please search the forums, there are a multitude of examples. Also, i would recommend looking into Kyatric's great "how do i" list of examples.

I've updated the plugin with some new features. Please check the first post for downloads and changelog.

Cheers!

This seems to work for me, hope i helped.

Have you programmed it to return to its original animation?

A .capx or more info on your events would be helpful for us to help you.

You cannot store objects in array. Arrays in C2 can only store numbers or strings.

If i understand correctly, you will want to store object UIDs and use that as a reference to an object.

Also, i suspect (but am probably totally wrong) that you can avoid storing UIDs in arrays and with events (more exactly conditions) pick a group of objects, and then apply some actions to them.

I recommend reading how events work if you haven't read it, and of course look into Families and Containers for more advanced object picking.

Hopefully i didn't miss your question.

Also, i recommend getting used to manual, i do it almost daily.

Yup. Asset management is pain in the a**, but they're running a business here, community wishes and actions are not a priority and we don't know what information drives their decision to spend time on twitter plugin and such, but not on making asset management easier.

I really hope they let the community to create twitter-like plugins, and spend their time making C2 IDE a better place, starting with asset management and asset store. I cannot tell how many nights i spent tinkering on this problems, and just decided not to spend any time working on it seeing how Scirra reacts when community tries to make improvements on C2.

However, it such a great tool on many other fields. Let's give them time, for now they are doing an ok job. We cannot make IDE a better place, but we can create good plugins, and community proved that long time ago.

And yes, updating sounds is a joke that bites your a** late in the development.

Edit: Superb response time on a request (r175). IDE is a better place now regarding asset management.

If your're trying with URL like this ( http://i.imgur.com/7ibIp6y.jpg ), it won't work.

You should convert it somehow to Base64 uri, something that looks like this:

They would probably "work" but there's difference between "work" and work. You should always test your projects on your targeted platforms. There are a lot of things that could go wrong,

All is good now.

Pode's plugin was returning a PNG url string, and this plugin supported only JPEG until today. Please re-download.

I've tested with Pode's plugin and it worked in Chrome.

Also, ive updated jsPDF to a newer version, and did some minor improvements.

If you come up with some feature requests, please share, some of jsPDF api's aren't exposed in this plugin, so there's a possibility i can implement it.

Cheers!

edit: Add image action now takes one more argument, DataURL type, please choose between "PNG", "JPEG" and "JPG".
