  • Sorry if it is improper to revive an old thread, but I came across this information and felt this was relevant here.

    https://arstechnica.co.uk/information-t ... -download/

    https://developers.google.com/web/updat ... round_tabs

    https://docs.google.com/document/d/18_s ... x4OlE4/pub

    TLDR; Basically in the event you are running multiple hosts in multiple tabs with the intent of using a client to server style design, you can set a flag to disable background throttling.

    [quote:1nauq8zt]Chrome provides the --disable-background-timer-throttling flag for use cases like running test suites and other user-sanctioned heavy computations.

    We can't normally expect a end user to have this flag on if you are utilizing a peer to peer design though, so the workaround would be to play audio, as previously mentioned.

    Also note that the opt-out option is planned to change via FeaturePolicy in 2017 and be depreciated by 2020 (with suitable replacement), so stay on your toes to update your solutions as needed if you are serving a significant user base.

  • Or, use events rather than behaviors to move your fly.

    [quote:3pcds21a]Timescaling works by changing the value returned by dt. This means behaviors are affected, and any movement using dt. If you don't use dt in your movement calculations (like the first event above) the motion is not affected by the time scale!

  • AFAIK the limitations of the free version have not been published yet, so we can just wait and see, and possibly be pleasantly surprised. Or complain all over again when there is something specific to complain about.

  • Sorry I can't give you a quick direct answer - this is a bit of an advanced technique.

    Here are two resources that give very good explanations of the method though:

    http://www.redblobgames.com/articles/visibility/

    http://ncase.me/sight-and-light/

    You'll need a way to dynamically generate the visibility mask (canvas or paster plugin), and to identify the vertices of interest. You may want to look in to a raycasting function to assist in that endeavor, although there are other ways to go about it.

    Alternatively, you might want to check out R0J0's capx in this thread, from an attempt I made a while ago to implement this without plugins: how-do-i-draw-span-class-posthilit-triangles-span_p1062997?&sid=4d47e89800c2b1c425c7024dbc64daf6#p1062997

  • I never got the impression that you would lose access to your project as your subscription expires, as there will be still be a free version available from my understanding. You might just lose the ability to export, although that is just a guess at this point. Having a monthly option would be nice though.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Use one or the other, not both.

    (In reference to the pin behavior and setting position manually)

  • You would need some sort of verification system, which would be outside of the scope of the base functionality of C2, although there are many free third party plugins that allow for communication with other API's. An AJAX request to your webserver could be the most straightfoward solution, but it really depends on the method you want to use to verify the user.

  • Generally speaking, I would recommend using a single variable to represent a single property/idea, rather than using an individual boolean variable for each possible value.

    So each of your characters has a unique number associated with it. Save that number to your "SelectedCharacter" variable, and use that number for your event conditions.

  • Can you post your capx or an example? Hard to visualize your problem. Your approach seems complicated for something like zooming, although I assume you have your reasons.

    Have you tried using the Browser - On Resized condition to recalculate your numbers when the browser gets resized with the new browser window dimensions, or possibly adjust the size of your helper sprite accordingly?

  • When using - as your token, the expression does not take into account the ;. So for the source, the tokens age broken up as follows:

    (Text 123 )-( Text 456;

    Text 789 )-( Text 10112;)

    Which would be tokens 0,1, and 2.

    If you must use that format, you will want to use nested tokenats, first with ";", then with "-".

  • Forgot about the pickedcount expression! Ignore my suggestion earlier, using pickedcount is the way to go.
