Hi

I am trying to set up a players database with name/logo / website.

I have set up the php files etc. on the server.

I am trying to import the data into Construct and I am finding that the photo/logo Sprite box are all the same photo and don't change.

is there a tutorial on this anyone could recommend?

Hi All,

My goal for to-day is to be able to press the build brick button and for it to run the code to build a brick with a picture on it and to then be able to move the brick with the picture attached to it.

I am able to get the brick on screen and also the picture in the box, however, the picture changes on ever brick, how do i stop this.

i am thinking and have tried adding a new instance to the brick when created, however this does not seem to work :(, any 1 able to see where i have missed?

thank you.

thank you WackyToaster, am now looking into tokenat tutorials :)

Good Morning All,

Any One know how to stream a webcam into my game thus making the player avatar face = webcam-pic.that can be seen by the rest of the internet?

thank you.

Will this tutorial help?

It also includes a full working .capx for you to study.

this is sort of helping thank you,

i am however trying to make 1 jigsaw peace = 1 pic so i can add another pic into a new jigsaw peace and then join the 2 pics together.

I am not worried about the peaces snapping together as they should all have the same mask on.

i can not seem to be about to break this code down into a way to understand the process .

thank you.

Hi I am trying to make a Jigsaw type game and i have stuck on how to make the peaces over lap right.

any pointers please ?

Put everything you want to be masked out on the same layer, put the mask object on top, turn "Force on texture" ON, put everything else on a layer below it.

here is an example

thank you very much <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

Did you make sure the mask is on the same layer and that the layer has force own texture set to true? Please note that these blend modes do not show in the editor, the effect is only visible in preview.

Also z-order of the mask is very important.

Edit: set opacity to 0 the mask's. Very important!

thank you for helping

Note post data is in the same format as a query string, e.g. "foo=1&bar=2".

Thank you for helping

This is what you've got right?

which is equivalent to this:

But what I think you're wanting is this:

of course URL encoding the message if there is any chance there is a special character in there at all. URLEncode is a system expression. So you'll probably finish with this:

But then you need to make sure you decode within the php script so the variable assignment lines will look more like:

> if (isset($_GET['user'])) {$user = urldecode($_GET['user']);} else {$user = urldecode($_POST["name"]);}
[/code:14tgp1dp]

These Both work Thank you very Much

you can mask it out with another circle shaped sprite, or use something like the 3rd party canvas plugin to redraw it to a new image (not necessary if you don't actually need the user to download the image)

Hi Lof, thank for helping .

For masking check out "Blend modes.capx" in your construct2\examples directory.

I have used a mask over it however this will not let me see through to the layer behind.

ie if the player uploads the target as a tree when hit i want to see through the tree to the forest or what ever behind.
