ramones Sulli, thanks for reply. I'll give it a try and i have to update my Construct first before i can open the capx u gave me.

Hi i would like to create a sliding time bar that goes up to down as the time decreases.

So far this is what i have done. However i am unable to make it slide smoothly, instead its kinda jumpy from one point to another point.

vee41 & ArcadEd thanks for the hint. But i have found the problem. Instead of Push back, i should put it at front.

It seems this is what happen when i use "push back"

Array ["","","","","element","element","element"]

So when a randomNumber generates the number 0 - 4 it will returns 0 by default because there is nothing there.

If i use "push front" this is what happen

Array ["element, "element", "element", ....]

Thanks for the hint though.

Thanks for the hint, however it still does not solve the problem

The array has 4 elements.

How do i randomly pick a value from a given array.

I have an array where "On Start of Layout" i "Push back" some value into the array.

Later on in the game i would like to randomly select a value of this array.

i have done something like below (this action is executed with the following condition)

System countdown >= 1 (this is just a countdown timer).

System Every 1.5 Seconds

When i play the game it only displays the randomNumber.

Is there a more detailed tutorial? i.e. how should i format the JSON (if choose so)

Hi,

I am very new with Construct 2 and kinda looking for a solution to load from external file.

The format can be either

CSV, JSON or XML.

I basically want to map a bunch of words into array to be dynamically loaded in the game.

So far i can do it using CSVToArray function to do this. The only thing is all the words must be predefined inside the game.

I would like to load it from external file (or via JSON) so that the word list can be changed as needed.

I read the documentation by using JSON thus later on using AsJSON expression but i don't know how to do this...

Can anyone show me how to do this?

Cheers,

Hi,

Just dropping by to say hi. I stumbled upon this construct 2 website and decided to have a try of this SDK.

Cheers
