  • As the question stated:

    Will the objects in a container when created (except for the first one) always have consecutive UIDs?

  • Wow! Thank you . Thank you very much!!

    Well I knew this would be insecure.. But it doesn't matter for me. No one's gonna play my game.

  • Thank you very much nacra for your answer and for the link you provided. Well I was searching for this plugin but gave up thinking that this Firebase plugin had not been converted yet.

    Thank you very much again!! This link has all the plugins I used to use in Construct 2. :)

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Pencil2D is not recommended for games.

    I use spriter which is very easy to learn and you can download the official spriter plugin which works with Construct projects. This has great features. Search online and you will find about those features.

    And for Krita I have never tried. It seems a good one. I will try once.

  • I didn't want to have my own server..

    I think it is possible with this.

    developers.google.com/sheets/api/guides/batchupdate

    But I don't understand how to do and what to do..My programming knowledge is very low. I don't know how to integrate this with my construct 3 project.

    I don't understand most of the things advanced topics in Construct 3.

    Well these are out of my scope I s'pose.

  • I can get the values from spreadsheet to my game using Rex's CSV plugin with AJAX. But can I update this spreadsheet? Can I make necessary changes in the values in game (or add new member details) and upload that to spreadsheet?

    Or is it possible to save an array in JSON format directly to my google drive account and import it into the game?

  • You can have thousands of objects on screen, it just depends on what they are doing.

    If they are all doing something complex then that will slow things down.

    If you are sending multiplayer commands one at a time then that would also slow things down.

    All this depends mostly on the individuals hardware.

    Okay, thank you for your answer.. I will keep that in mind :)

  • No. The memory is in ram, not on the screen.

    Additional instances add(slightly) up in cpu though.

    newt Thank you for your answer... I want to know more:

    If there are 800 instances of this object on the screen wont it reduce fps?

    Moreover can i make a multiplayer game working with this much instances? I mean 4 players each controlling 200 instances like in strategy games.. Thankyou.

  • Suppose I have a sprite which uses 2mb memory. If I need 100 instances of the object, will the game use 200mb memory?

    I tried copying several instances of the object on the game layout. But it doesn't seem to affect memory usage according to the game engine (in the Project Statistics window).

  • I want to make a minimap with which i can interact. When I click at a position on the minimap, the Player moves to that position on the layout. When i double click at a position, the window scrolls to that position.

    Currently I can interact with my minimap only when fullscreen in browser is turned off. When fullscreen in browser is set to Letterbox scale, it won't work. This is because for the interaction I used the action statement :

    Player set position to (Touch.AbsoluteX-Minimap.X)*40, (Touch.AbsoluteY-Minimap.Y)*40

    40 because Layout size is 40 times of Mininmap.

    I had followed this tutorial: scirra.com/tutorials/271/veryvariable-mini-map-interaction

    But I need to have Letter box scale fullscreen. I need to have the game supported in any screen resolution. So Please help...
