Thanks - I am on an https server using Construct3 - but it only shows when i upload the files to the server manually and view through a browser.

Yes I'm sure it is - it's rounding down the whole time.

I just cannot see where this is happening.

Thank you for your continued help - I really appreciate it.

The data from MYSQL only comes in when the game is live on a server - in Debug mode, the leaderboard is empty - so it doesn't pull in the scores. I think this is a security setting in the plugin which means that the game only works in the location you specify.

OK thanks - tried that, but it didn't work. It's only loading the digits before the decimal point.

The values in the DB say:

1. Andy 12.34

2. Andy 12.45

3. Andy 15.65

But i my leaderboard they show as:

1. Andy 12

2. Andy 12

3. Andy 15

So it seems as though the plugin, or construct is rounding the number before displaying it somehow.

Thanks for your reply!

Do you mean in the actual database, or within Constuct?

Sorry - fairly new to this, and not sure where to look.

In the database itself, the values are set up as 'text', and the times (scores) look correct.

Hmm Thanks - I've just searched the PHP files which game with it - nothing relating to floor/round/ceil/trunk in those.

Or do you mean within Construct itself?

Hi All.

I an using the Leaderboard plugin, which creates a leaderboard and submits the scores to a mySQL database. Works great, but one problem.

The game is a driving game, which records the time taken to go round the track.

The score records the time in seconds.milliseconds, and in the MySQL database, the scores are indeed stored in this fashion: (e.g. 12.34)

But, when the leaderboard publishes the scores, which are being pulled down form the database, it only show seconds - e.g. 12

scirra.com/store/construct2-plugins/easyleaderboard-4145

Has anyone used this plugin, and would you know how to add the full entry form the database?

I contacted the author of the plugin, but haven't heard back.

Wow thanks - but this has totally lost me!

I think you’re right - I should create all the instances around the track with visibility set to invisible and then what I want to do is toggle the visibility of them in a random order each time there is a collision with the first one. So there are never more than one on visible at a time.

So if I have:

SpriteA

SpriteB

SpriteC

SpriteA is visible from layout start

When the car collides with SpriteA, randomly choose another Sprite from the list (in this example B or C) and make that visible.

If the car collides with the new one, again, choose a random Sprite from the list to make visible next.

Does this make sense?

Thanks so much

Andy

Thanks - but that will spawn anywhere on the screen don’t it?

I need to endure they spawn along my race track, which is full of twists and turns.

Apologies if I didn’t explain myself

Hi there,

is there a way to randomly spawn an item every X seconds within a certain area?

I have a top down racer, so I want power ups to appear randomly along the track.

Thanks!!

Andy

Hi,

I am building a simple racing game.

i have a power up which on collision, is supposed to boost the car to double speed for five seconds, and then return to the original max-speed.

I tried this:

and this:

but neither seem to affect the car's speed at all!

I replaced it with 'stop' and that works fine.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Andy

That worked perfectly thank you.

I just have a button on the title screen, and if the user clicks the mouse, I know they are on a PC, and if they tap, then I know they are on a mobile device, and can show the controls based on this.

Thank you again

Andy
