I haven't run into any issues with this yet, but I am concerned I might in the future and want to address this earlier in my project rather than waiting until it becomes a problem.

So, I'm using a seed generator to procedurally generate dungeon rooms. These rooms are connected to one another, but are separate layouts. This mostly works right out of the box, but there is of course the issue of tracking changes made to the seeded rooms, specifically Enemy Health, position, and state.

I've addressed this with a 3D array that records those values for each enemy whenever you leave a room, and then loads them when you enter it. It works great!

But the array is by far the largest I have ever worked with, clocking in at 24,000 cells. Most of these cells are empty (there is an X column for every potential room in a dungeon, with a potential maximum of 96 rooms in a dungeon) and these cells mostly just store integers, though a handful do store small strings.

Do I run the risk of this being too large? If this is too vague, what would be a good rule of thumb regarding array size?

FYI> an Array with 24,000 cells does have an effect on the Game performance.

It should not be this hard to ADD 15 Separate enemies to my Game. The system adds all the enemies at the same time. Thanks

Might be a case of having massive amounts of nav menu buttons?

Hello,

I have not encountered that problem. My only suggestion would be to change the Number of objects you have in your game. The more objects you have the slower the game will RUN. How many av menu buttons do you have?

Thanks for your assistance.

Solved.

I use 2 arrays (One with all Red images = One with all the other Color Images). This way I can get a Red Image in Every 3 Image set. This works.

Thanks for the REply. I'm making a Game for Autistic Children wherein they try to find the image (out of a set of Three images) that has Red in it. The Game would work better if the Red image would move like this:

Red Blue Green

Pink Yellow Red

Brown Red Gray

As opposed to Red White Orange

Red Green Blue

Red Violet Teal

The array sounds good. I just need to find a way to make sure the Red image is always included in every group of three images

Sad to see Guys give-up too soon.

Hello Form:

I have a query referring to random image selection.

The computer logic is tasked with picking 3 color images: Red Blue and White.

Three images have to be chosen but the Red image needs to be in EACH group.

Example: Red Green Pink

Purple Red Yellow

Orange Brown Red

It does not matter where the Red image is positioned just that the Red Image appears in each group.

Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Problem FIXED:

I believe the member was using the Tilemap as opposed to using the Tile-Background.

If the Tilemap is selected and the Image (is imported to the Editor) the Image will not appear on the Viewport. The only way to get The Tilemap to appear (0n the Viewport) is to use the Pencil Tool (via the Tilemap Bar) to point and click on the Viewport. Then and only then, will the Tilemap appear on the Viewport. Please denote, when using the Pencil Tool, it will just place one Block (of the Image) at a time on the Viewport (Not the entire Image).

However, if the Tile-Background is selected and a image is inserted into the Editor. The Tile-Background Image will appear on the Viewport.

I hope this works for anyone that is Stuck like I was.

Thanks.

Nice work around. Is the variable: instance or global? Moreover is the variable a: String, Number or Boolean? Also, where is the If located? I see the Else but I can not locate the IF. Thanks

I'm working on the Construct 3 platform. When I click Pause Button, all movement of objects ceases but the song (Looped) in the Music File still plays. How can I get the Song to stop playing when the Pause button is pressed? I have the Song in a group and I tried to Deactivate the group, which had not work. Any suggestions? Thanks
