The actual array object is nice and all, but it’s also nice to be able to have arrays be scoped like local or instance variables. It’s also nice to be able to have temporary arrays.

Exactly what I'm driving at. Not a big deal, nice for workflow. Thanks all for the suggestions :)

For convenience

Hello Nepeo

If you have the time I was wondering if you might expand a little more on POSTing binary data to a server via AJAX plugin?

From my research and testing the data is POSTed to a PHP enabled server as an array, however after my different attempts to interpret the data, it all returns an empty array, (& unpacking returns an empty string). Am I missing something?

Thank you for any help you're able to give :)

When you POST Binary Data (image) to a php server via Ajax, where is that binary data placed on the server? do I set the URL to a folder? or a php file that handles the data? I realize this questions is beyond Construct 3 data handling; I just need to be a able to request the binary data back via URL in AJAX.

Thanks for any help.

AshleyMagistross Works thanks again. Although some images i'm testing w/ simply do not load from the string, and then others do. Is there a reason you can think of why this is happening? All the files are jpg.

What i'm doing is sending the base64 string via AJAX POST to a .php file which writes the string to a text file. Then requesting the data back w/ a .php file echoing the text file.

Like I said it works with a couple .jpgs, but not all of them.

Thanks for the response! I will try that when I get home.

There's another thread like this but it's about a year old an the answer wasn't exactly clear.

How would I go about loading an image via Base64 string from a variable or server side?

Using the "Load image from URL" and inputting the Base64 string does not work. Is there a formatting issue i'm missing or maybe a step I may have overlooked?

Thanks for any assistance.

Magistross I know it's been a while but would you be able to expand a little more on the URI format you provided?

I have the base64 string saved to a var. Would I be able to load from that? Or directly from the Server?

Thanks

I meant to include "https", but the issue ended up being the SSL certificate wasn't properly configured. Thanks for the reply :D

I have a solid understanding of how AJAX works. My question is to get help eliminating road blocks I have overlooked; right now AJAX is returning error.

Here's what my event attempting to "read" a text file looks like:

Button: On Clicked ---> AJAX: Request "http://fileLocation/textfile.txt

AJAX: On completed ---> requestStatus.text: Set text to AJAX.LastData

AJAX: On error --------> requestStatus.txt: Set text to error

- I do have do CORS authorization on my web server

My web server is php enabled if that helps out.

Any thoughts? Thank you in advance for any help :)

try:

on [shoot button] pressed

repeat 5 times

---> create object (bullet)

---> set angle (bullet) to "gun.angle + random(-15,15)"

this example creates a bullet, then sets its angle to no more than 15 degrees off the direction the gun is pointing. repeated 5 times. a bullet behavior will automatically move the bullets forward the set angle.
