  • Oh ye that makes sense. I've just filed a bug report then. Hope you can fix it, and thank you as always.

  • Alright, thanks for the clarification Ashley!

  • Oh ok I will, I thought it might be a simple fix on my end so that's why I didn't.

  • I'm trying to create an object from a family by it's name:

    const newObject = runtime.objects["name"].createinstance(<parameters>);

    This works, but I wanted to do so using a name stored in a variable:

    let objName = "name";

    const newObject = runtime.objects[objName].createinstance(<parameters>);

    TypeScript won't let me do this because it is afraid "objName" won't be a valid value.

    How should I go about this then?

    Thanks in advance.

    edit:

    this works, but I'm not sure how good of a solution it is:

    let objName = "name";

    const newObject = (runtime.objects as any)[objName].createinstance(<parameters>);

  • Every time I make any changes on my scripts and hit preview, it crashes. After restarting, it all works with the new change until I make a new change and hit preview again. Please help!

    Here is the crash log:

  • I thought construct's sync used some other faster method of communication, didn't think messages where the right thing to use here. Thanks Ashley, keep up the awesome work.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • (Reposted because I realized this should be under "Scripting")

    I RTFM and couldn't find ways to add client input value or sync objects thru scripting. What's up with that? Thanks in advance.

  • You do not have permission to view this post

  • I mean, is there even a way? Doesn't seem like it, can't find it in the manual.

  • WAIT YOU CAN DO THAT??? OMG I WAS LISTENING FOR EVERY OBJECT CREATION EVER AND THEN TRYING TO FILTER IT.

    thanks man lol .___. I'm dumb

  • Thank you thank you dop2000!! You're always so helpful.

    However what I want is to translate an "On <family name> created" condition:

    I added an event listener for objects being created, and now have to check if they belong to that family.

    Or is there another way to translate that that you'd suggest?

    edit: also I just realized my approach doesn't even make sense because an object can be in many families. But still, how'd you go about that then?

  • You could do it using two families that have the same objects in them (for you to reference the correct uids) like so:

    shooter_team has LOS to shooter_team2(or whatever name)

    for each shooter team

    -----shooter_team.UId not equal to shooter_team2.UId --> team targets team 2

    -----(whatever whatever whatever conditions)

    (srry I don't know how to format it in a pretty way)

    maybe also try removing the for each, seems like it should work

    and also maybe you can just use the same family, cause I feel like objects won't detect LOS to themselves but I'm not sure
