Hi folks.

So, I have this dropdown list with some variables in it. Let's say Rock, Metal and Pop. I want to save the selected object in a variable that I can use as a tag.

In other words: If I click on Rock, the variable should be set to "Rock" and not Rock. That way, if I want to use the "Rock" tag in something, I can just input the name of the variable, right?

Right now I have When List clicked, set Variable to List.SelectedText

This saves the name of the text, but without the quotation marks. If I make it ""&List.SelectedText&"" it makes no difference.

So, how can I save this List.SelectedText with quotation marks to a variable?

Thanks in advance

Agreed. I already got a license, but can't do anything except post to Scirra Arcade. Even there it doesn't even seem like the Leaderboards are working properly.

Beta or not, I paid money for it. I don't feel it is fair to pay an incomplete product, considering I have to pay again after a year.

Hi

If I stretch a sprite out, it will kind of fade at one end. Like if I make a new sprite, say 64x64 with a solid colour. After I place the sprite, if I decide to stretch it out (like to make a floor or platform) to 20x700 the end will fade to white.

If I set the sprite to 20x700 inside the editor, it works fine.

Look on the far right of the sprite. It's supposed to be a solid colour, but instead we get that kind of faded look.

I'd just like to know why this happens. Is it supposed to do that? Out of curiosity I tried the same thing in CF2.5, and the colour stays constant. Is it a bug?

Hi folks.

So I have spent the last couple of weeks working on this. It may not look like much, but there are hours of blood, sweat and tears in this. Okay, not so much blood. Or sweat. But tears yes. Lot's of tears.

It's called Apocalyptiball.

There is actually an end game to it. It's just hard to get.

Only thing I can't seem to get working is the leaderboards. Do they just have a sort of delay before they display scores or am I just doing it wrong?

Thanks guys! I learn something new every day. Still a noob when it comes to loops.

So I have this code in my game:

What I think it should do: While the bool IsArmageddon is true, it should repeat those actions. In other words, it should wait 0.5 seconds, apply the impulse, subtract one from the variable, and repeat. Wait 0.5 seconds again, apply impulse again, etc until the variable hits 0.

What it does: Brutally murders Chrome. Chrome completely locks up as soon as that variable goes over 100.

So, I get that I'm doing something wrong. Probably. I just want to know WHY it's wrong. Is this like an endless loop kind of thing? Or is there a small chance that this is actually a bug?

The bat isn't supposed to move. When you press left or right there is a force pushing the ball. So you're controlling the ball, not the bat.

Still, I really appreciate the feedback! Now I know it's probably something on the devices, not my game.

Hi folks

So I made two mobile games already. They work on all the phones I have tested on except for two: a Huawei P8 lite and a Huawei P9 (coincidence that they're both Huawei?). The game installs fine (so it isn't an untrusted sources problem), but when we try to launch the game, it just gets stuck on the loading screen. What am I doing wrong? Is it a bug in my game or in Construct 3?

Here is a link to my c3p: drive.google.com/open

And here is a link to the apk (debugging mode): drive.google.com/open

I tried playing around with the settings (minify script, debugging and release mode, etc)

I would really like to know what kind of issue this is, because I want to get to a point where I can try and publish my games on the play store.

Maybe just make the eraser colour the same as the background colour? So instead of just taking away the colour, it kind of "repaints" it to match the canvas.

Yeah if you double click the sprite to edit it, just look at the bottom of the toolbar. Looks like a triangle. Setting the collisions are a hassle through. I find it easiest to just right click on the sprite and say "Guess collision polygon". Then it gives you a bunch more nodes you can adjust.

Does the right mouse button work?

Long shot, but have you tried a different browser yet? I know C3 is made with Chrome in mind but, except for User Media input (like voice recognition), it actually works fine in Opera.
