  • Use a object with the bullet behavior and enable gravity in the properties.

  • I think I understand...

    Like I said earlier, the simplest way would be to keep your local data in an array. You can get the entire array as a json string by using the array.asjson expression. Send that to the server for storage.

    Retrieve the array.asjson from the server, and use the array load action to get it back into an array, to append and modify as you wish.

    There's no reason you need to convert the array into key:value pairs unless I'm totally missing something, like you needing to modify or access it with a third party program that can't handle json arrays for some reason.

    The other option would be to use the json object actions to set each path, object, and value, then send json.tocompactstring to the server. Then you can retrieve it and use the json parse action to load it up and be able to modify it again.

    I'd think the array method is cleaner/easier though.

    Edit: I can put together an example using local storage as the "server" later if you need.

  • Try Construct 3

  • Right, because an array is just a set of values with no object names, you'll need to create object names manually with the json actions manually.

    Although normally you would want to send an array as an array, and object/value pairs as is.

    Is there any reason you need to convert? Anything that can read json should also be able to read json arrays.

    Or I'm still misunderstanding.

  • I recall a football themed game that was featured in the Google play store a while back, that one took off pretty well. I forgot the name though...

    There is a lot of competition on the play store. On the other hand I'm confident to say it's possible to (re)create 90%+ of all 2d games you can find on the market with enough time and effort in Construct.

  • Works fine? dropbox.com/scl/fi/tio0qsz9lv5bcdtto12ae/MetaballsExample.c3p

    There are multiple ways to implement metaballs... You may have missed something important in whatever tutorial you were following.

  • Oh interesting I actually didn't notice that. -1 was the default. Looks like at 0 border size, they include the neighboring cells because they are touching, and therefore colliding. It works all the way to -32, and at -33 the single tile obstacles are no longer counted.

    A way to generate and visualize an obstacle map in the editor could be a nice feature to add...

  • If you don't want to use a Json array, then you can manually create keys with the JSON object actions set path, set object, and set value actions. Then the tobeautifiedstring or the tocompactstring expressions will return your json as a string you can send.

  • In the second event on keyboard s pressed (don't crop out the event numbers in the future), you don't pick any Enemies object. So you don't specify a target to move to, even though you saved the correct UID in the overlap event (no sub event needed here by the way).

    In the conditions, add an Enemies - pick by UID PlayerBox1.ATKTargetX and it should work.

  • Found an old example I had made before and updated it a bit.

  • If you have the menu and player in a container, they will be picked with each other. Then you can keep the menu pinned on the player, and toggle it's visibility when you need it.

  • The array expression Array.AsJSON will give you the array as a string in JSON format.

    I'm not familiar with uploading to a server. Depends what kind of server you are using. If the array isn't too large I imagine you could use a POST link to a php page with AJAX object, and the server can save it to a mysql db.

    Or if you're using something like firebase the plugin can probably send data directly.

  • For x from 0 to (array.width-1)

    Array.At((array.width-1)-loopindex) would go from back to front.
