  • Oh I see. In that case you probably want to make your own custom particle effect, you'll have much more control.

    Create a particle sprite object with fade and bullet behaviors. Spawn at interval as desired and set the bullet angle of motion as I described earlier.

  • No, guess I did not understand.

  • If you want help, the least you could do is post your project with the script to show what you've done so far. Also you might get more help with using a javascript library in the javascript subforum. You most likely didn't set your imported script as the main script.

  • Set a timer that triggers after leaving a platform. While the timer is running, allow jumping.

  • Yes, if you intend on running said action that depends on or fetches data from the array as soon as possible after loading the array JSON data into memory.

    Practically though, no user should be able to click on something or do an action faster than your device can load the array on start of layout.

    If you want to be really proper about it, start with your buttons or user interface disabled, and add an action to enable them in that same event with on ajax finished and array loaded. This guarantees the user can't do anything until at least the array is ready. For automated tasks and functions, yes they should be called in that event as well, so they run whenver the data is available.

    Separate event sheets or includes has nothing to do with anything, you can do that or not, up to you.

    Edit: Event sheets don't store arrays...? You're definitely misunderstanding something.

  • Your JSON array is loaded into the array object in construct.

    construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/plugin-reference/array

    You can manipulate the array directly with construct events and actions, as described in the manual. Using JS is giving you no advantage or anything you can't do directly with the array plugin in this case, besides making things more complicated.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

  • Add the repeat 10 times condition to the touch trigger in the second event. That's all.

    Don't use gestures - they are less responsive, use on touched object.

    You don't need the stop loop action there. It does nothing - The actions don't run if the condition is not met. You only need stop loop to interrupt a loop. In this case you're repeating 10 times. Even is SetArrayRow_GV goes past 10, it will just keep repeating (doing nothing) until 10 times is up.

  • I do not understand your situation. Arrays are global. It doesn't matter what event sheet you refer to it from.

  • You should put that script right after the array load action in event 3, because that is when it will be available. Wait is not necessary. In the theoretical event the disk is under load and it takes more than 0.1 seconds for ajax to read the json, your event as written would also break, since the array would not have been loaded at that point 0.1 seconds after the layout starts. If you put the script in event 3, which is triggered by the data becoming available, it will always work because event 3 will run when the data is available.

  • Set bullet angle of motion to targetAngle + random(-1*coneoffire/2,coneoffire/2)

  • a reference error: My_Array is not defined

    You need to define your array in Javascript.

    You can have multiple instances of the same array object, so you have to specify which one. construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/scripting/scripting-reference/object-interfaces/iinstance 

    const JS_myArray = runtime.objects.My_Array.getFirstInstance();
var valueAt00 = JS_myArray.getAt(0, 0);

    There are a bunch of JavaScript examples/tutorials built in, you should look through them.

    Also if you're a beginner, my recommendation is to never use the wait action, ever. It can be a shortcut for certain things when you know what you're doing, but it is never necessary and it can break or otherwise make your project behave outside your expectations in a hundred different ways. If you insist on using wait, just remember that it only delays actions, and does not stop or pause the event sheet from running.

  • If it's a code issue, you are probably your own best bet at identifying what went wrong, especially for a project years in the making.

    It's great that you had an older version of your project to check and compare against.
