  • Hey jobel, I was curious about how to do this as well, and took a shot at it. See if this project file is useful for you!

    EDIT: Click on the squares to set the "level" to complete/incomplete. Then you can click save, reload the preview, and see that the complete levels are saved.

    As of the latest beta, r286, there is a new option you can use in the configuration file. Adding the "use-raw-folder-names" property with a value of true will make the importer use the folder names as they appear in the imported files.

    DiegoM Amazing! Can't wait to try it out.

  • Oh right - if it helps, you might have to turn off "Show profiles for this display only" on the bottom of the Color tab. It should give you a long list of profiles to choose from.

  • It has to do with the way picking works.

    Actions always try to apply to one object. Without a condition, an action has no way to pick an object, so it applies to all objects.

    But when you add a condition, the action gets some instruction. If the condition could be satisfied by multiple objects, it picks one at random. Adding "for each" forces the actions to repeat for each object that satisfies it.

    So in your top event, the function is only picking one random Sprite uid. If you add a "for each sprite" on that subevent, it should call the function three times.

  • Hey TiredSundew5639 — I was the one who'd posted that bug report. If it helps, I found a way around it (but still hoping the bug gets fixed in OSX):

    I think it may relate to the colour profile; here's what I did to get things working:

    • In Chrome: visit chrome://flags/#force-color-profile and changed the options to "sRGB"

    • In OSX display preferences: change the colour profile on all monitors to "sRGB IEC61966-2.1"

    • Restart the laptop

  • Haha true... I know I get caught up in trying to find the most 'elegant' way to do things, when it makes zero difference to performance.

    I'm glad it's all sorted!

  • I think that's your answer then! It doesn't look like the "On created" trigger occurs with objects already placed in the layout.

    If you already have the Obj_Object on the layout, you could change your "On Obj_Object created" trigger to "Trigger Once while True". This should fire the spawn of Obj_ObjectAbove.

  • I've tried out the first "Doesn't Work" code in your screenshot, and it seems to work fine. There might be another part of your code interfering.

    Here's the C3P

    drive.google.com/file/d/1mjCUbwdunQRdHaSdxoz7dWnTdfhJIANg/view

  • Almost. The condition is a string and it's an OR.

    Global string = Text

    YourVariable = "Five"

    OR YourVariable = "Eight"

    That said, if I drop the OR block and only compare for the "Five", it still doesn't work.

    If I change the YourVariable from a string to a number and check if it equals 5, it does work. But I need to check a string, and I don't understand why checking for a string would break it if checking for a number works fine.

    I see — I don't think you can put OR blocks and Triggers in the same block, but I might be wrong.

    I've always separated them like this. This approach also stops the code from checking "YourVariable" every loop, which can slow things down, and just check whenever a Sprite object is created.

    But ROJOHound is right, it'd easier to see what your code looks like.

  • Is this what you're trying to do? Both of these work for me:

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • It's a good point; I really love the new style, but it certainly feels built more for new users, or maybe no users and just an "overview of Construct".

    I think the page functionality could certainly be brought more toward the advanced users (e.g. Adobe CC went through the same journey). The fact that it takes two clicks to open a file is a good example of that. Your suggestion about having more Recent File slots as well. Giving more real estate to advanced user flows, rather than things like social media, the more balanced it'll be.

    Just for fun - a starter thought on how it could go:

  • It won't be possible to help you by looking at a screenshot - the problem is in your code, not your layout.

    You should consider posting your project or a screenshot of your code instead, and explaining the problem in more detail.
