Thank you for the reply. Someone told me to press F12 before I opened the file, that worked. I should have thought of that, sorry.

That shows a bunch of problems, but we knew that lol

The thing is, C3 isn't telling me there is a problem until I go to reopen the file.

I don't understand why C3 doesn't pop-up message something like 'Hey, I saved this, but there is a huge problem with X that you need to fix now or the file will never open again' instead of allowing us to save the project over and over again.

Is there a message that pops up and I may have it turned off?

Or is there a way to know there is a problem before I close it?

Thanks again.

This is what I get when I hit F12. Can you tell me what it's supposed to look like, please?

Hit F12 when? The game won't open.

I only use the stable version, but the file still won't open because it's now corrupt.

I want to know how to get C3 to tell me the file is corrupt before I spend a day building a game that will never open again.

This morning I opened my latest project (34TheOther.c3p) and I got that 'Are you sure it's a C3 file' error message. Which I'm told means your C3 file is corrupt. Because YES, it's a C3 file.

I went to Google Drive, found the file and because I hit save obsessively, I have 97 versions of that file. I downloaded version 96. Same error message.

So I downloaded and attempted to open 34TheOther.c3p version 79 from 1:51pm. Same error message.

I then downloaded and attempted to open 34TheOther.c3p version 32 from 11:58am. Same error message.

Then I downloaded and attempted to open 34TheOther.c3p version 1, from 9:51am. Same error message.

If the file was corrupt at 9:51am, why did C3 allow me to work on that project and repeatedly save that project - the Entire Day - without telling me there was a problem?

How do I know that file isn't going to open the next time I use it without closing and reopening the file as obsessively as I save it?

That's an entire day wasted.

What other networks?

I've been looking for other networks with not much luck.

What do you know of other ads networks that work like Google ads in games? (Not necessarily with C3, just in general)

If you have an affiliate link, I'd be happy to use it.

Thanks.

I know that when allowing the game to choose a random number, under certain circumstances, you need to add one more number, but I don't know when to do that and I think it's messing with my game.

Example: Set variable: gameLayout to floor(random(1,10))

If I have 10 layouts and the variable chosen dictates the layout played, do I need to make the number in the parenthesis 1,10 or 1,11?

When do I need to make it 1 more and when do I need to make it the correct amount?

Thank you.

LetTheMiceFree,

I feel the same way.

I can get a 3D game to look pretty good as long as nothing moves.

If the player sprite is in front of another sprite it looks fine, but once the player jumps over it and is behind it, half the player is gone.

Or if objects are set to invisible, when it is visible again, it doesn't matter what layer it's on, the overlap becomes an issue. I've read the C3 3D documentation again and again - an adjustment that fixes one thing creates an issue with another.

It's my only issue with the 3D aspect of C3. I love every other thing about how C3 does 3D. Everything else makes sense and is so easy. The only issue is the transparency/overlapping.

BaconSwagg,

That is a very interesting idea. I'm not entirely sure how to do that, but I'm going to try that next.

Thank you.

Do you mean make a frame with the player and the mallet together?

The problem there is, if the player runs into the object the player loses points.

If the mallet hits the object that player gains points. If the player jumps over the object it's a draw.

I need to keep the player and the mallet separate because of collisions.

I was thinking of setting the 3D objects beside each other and keep it constant using every tick, but it's a mobile game and every tick can slow things down so I haven't tried that yet. I was hoping for an alternative for an every tick.

Ashley,

That explains why it's not working lol

Guess I'll have to move back to the variables.

Thank you for clarifying.
