  • Ok. Thanks for all the suggestions.

  • I have an old version of a C2 game that used crawberry developer plugins (phonegapIAP and ScreenOrientationPortrait) and I need to update this file in Construct 3 anyway, but I can't install these addons anymore and as a result I can't open the project in the editor. What would be the solution to this problem? Thanks.

    Ok. I decided to use only one array for all levels. Normally I use localstorage to save/load the information, but as I only want the information to be available while the game is open, I was wondering if I could generate a JSON file with this information (a JSON file for each bidimensional array) and load it only if the player returns to the levels they have already passed to show different data. It seems to be a leaner solution but I don't know exactly how to do this. Would this be similar to what I usually do with localstorage?

  • I want to make an educational game about the 4 math operations and I'm trying to figure out the best way to do it. The game will show a result and the player needs to select the number options below as many as necessary, according to the mathematical operator being displayed,. For example: operator: sum / result: 10 / alternatives to be selected: 5, 3, 2, 1 and 4. In this case, the player could select 5, 4 and 1 or 5, 3 and 2

    My solution, which is certainly not the best, would be to create a two-dimensional array for the 5 levels for each operator, to store a result and its respective alternatives/options, then use another array to randomize and delete the options each time they are displayed on the screen so that they don't repeat.

    Is there a better solution? For example, one in which the system itself automatically creates a random result and also the alternatives for each result withou repetions? If not and I will really have to define all the results and alternatives, the way I intend to do this would be the best way to shuffle and avoid repeating the exercises?

    I am looking for ideas/suggestions.

  • I've been checking out the demo file that dop2000 shared and I've made changes to my code based on that example. The score is showing the results when it is registered (1st time score panel is open), but when I load the game again, the score is no longer there, just the dates.

    EDITED: I believe I already found the problem and it seems that the score is behaving correctly.

  • When LS works on one device/browser and doesn't work on another - this is a clear indication that it's not used correctly.

    Also, saving each element of the array in a separate key is woefully inefficient. You can save or load the entire array as JSON with a single action.

    I've always done it this way, because I couldn't do it any other way. I've already read about the option of using json, even before you posted I was checking a tutorial that you indicated in another post (https://howtoconstructdemos.com/easily-save-multiple-values-in-local-storage/), but I can't imagine, for example, how to use this type of solution to display the latest 5 registers. Can you talk about it or give me some instructions?

    Thanks for answering. In fact, I placed these triggers later, trying to force the registration. I know they're wrong, but I was trying everything I could. I have already removed them.

    Now I noticed that the record appears in the score, but instead of appearing at the same moment when opening the menu layout, as happens in Firefox, I have to refresh the game page (or close and open the browser again) and then the points record appears in the second line of the score, with the top line having zeros. My question is: why can't I display the score immediately in other browsers, but only in Firefox and why does it appear on the second line?

  • I have two layouts (menu/game) and point recording takes place in the game layout. Then, when the game ends, the system opens the menu layout and, if a boolean is true, it register the date, amount of variable points e level, and then shows the score. I am having to restart layout otherwise the score will not update

    This works perfectly on Firefox, but when I tested it on Edge, Safari and Chrome, the score is always zero.

    Could this be due to some incompatibility of local Storage with other browsers? If it works perfectly for Firefox, could there still be an error in the code?

    Thanks

  • I often use this trick: 

    > Object on screen : // nothing in this event

Else : // your actions here

    Thanks. I will give it a try.

    EDITED:

    dop2000

    That worked. Thank you very much.

  • + System: Sprite.Count = 0 -> (no actions)

    In this case, I cannot do this check based on the total number of objects, because if the object is not the correct one, it may stay on the screen until its lifespan ends.

    What I really needed to check is whether there is still an object on the screen or not, but the on-screen (inverted in this case) doesn't work at all. I don't know why this event exists.

  • I created a simple game that shows a total of 10 objects, objects created every 5 seconds and lasting another 5 seconds. The player needs to click on the correct objects to destroy them before the total time of 30 seconds runs out and the program stops creating new objects.

    I am using a variable to control the number of objects created, however, I cannot use the inverted on-screen event, as it does not work, to check if all objects have been destroyed and there are no more on the screen. Instead, I'm having to take the last object created (which may or may not be correct) and wait for its lifetime to then change levels. In cases where the object is the correct one, it is destroyed when clicked and the game has an empty screen until its lifespan is complete. Would anyone have a solution for this?
