  • Has anyone used pubnub in Construct 3? I had it working just fine in Construct 2, but it's not working now.

    If pubnub isn't available in Construct 3, is there an alternative that offers the same functionality?

    Thank you

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads
  • Yes of course! Not sure why I missed that. Thank you so much.

  • I'm wondering if there is a way to setup a simple textbox with a scroll bar. So that the player could use the bar to scroll the content of the textbox up or down. Like a standard web browser window.

    What I'm trying to accomplish is a simple chat application. So you would see the message chain, but as of now I can only figure out how to display the several most recent messages. Which is fine, but I'd also like them to be able to scroll back to see the rest of the messages.

    Thank you

  • Well I did discover something. It seems you can read or write directly to a txt file from Construct 2, the limitation seems to be that it needs to be exported as a Node-Webkit. You need to add the Node-Webkit actions first and use the "Write file" or the "ReadFile" options.

    It seems you can also Move, Copy or Delete files as well.

    The other caveat is you need to export the file and run it from the exported folder for these features to work. They don't seem to function in the Preview Browser.

    I hope that helps.

  • I am trying to do this to, but I can't seem to figure it out. I see how you can use AJAX to write to a PHP file on a server, but is there a way to write directly to a local or network drive?

  • Did anyone ever solve this?

    Thanks

  • Thank you, both.

    I think these will do.

  • Could you be more specific?

    Thanks

  • Is there a way to get the system time of the device the game is on. Like if it is running a browser, just the computer system time?

  • Oh, then that makes sense. Thanks for your help. I just decided to use a different effect that does appear to work with the sprite sheet.

  • I see. Do you know why it works in the Preview browser?

  • Problem Description

    When I use the WebGL Swirl effect on a Sprite the effect looks fine in Testing, but in browser after export the effect is not working correctly. I believe the effect is being applied to the whole sprite sheet rather than the displayed frame.

    Attach a Capx

    Swirl Test

    Description of Capx

    The Capx is a simple testing environment for the swirl effect. It consists of three scroll bars, which control the radius, angle and Sprint Frame.

    Steps to Reproduce Bug

    • View 'proper' function in preview environment.
    • Export project and upload to live website. I've done that here ... http://www.mickesgoldman.com/host/test/
    • Adjust options to see how the whole sprite sheet is affected. To really see the issue set Radius to 67, Angle to 100 and Frame to 1.

    Observed Result

    The whole sprite sheet is affected.

    Expected Result

    The selected Frame would be the only thing affected.

    Affected Browsers

    • Chrome: (YES)
    • FireFox: (YES)
    • Internet Explorer: (YES)

    Operating System and Service Pack

    Windows 7 Pro Service Pack 1

    Construct 2 Version ID

    Release 186.2 (64-bit)
