  • Because it can´t connect to google analytics? If you didn´t add that, it was scirra to get some statistics. But that shouldn´t stop you from using Construct at all.

  • WackyToaster Can't you do the same with AsJSON expression and Set from JSON action?

    Sort of. You cannot save/load only the angle for example, unless you start doing some JSON parsing. You always save/set the entire object. And you still have to put the saved JSON somewhere. So if you want to have multiple states you need to save each state somewhere, my plugin does that with IDs. Also it will always save the current state, my plugin also allows you to save different values.

  • Get angle of Sprite(Tween Property)- Can be done by storing the angle of an object in a variable("Angle Variable") by using the Sprite.Angle expression

    2)Set Angle of Sprite- Can be done by passing the "Angle Variable" in the set angle action.

    I actually made a little plugin for this that can save/restore width, height, x, y, angle and opacity of objects... I just never put it out there. Maybe I should :V

  • I´ve encountered this issue before and I could never find a clear answer to it. Worst part is that some phones handle it by zooming out while others don´t. Also I remember I found some settings to add (back when I was still building with cordova CLI) but this only worked for some phones and not for others because... reasons? Further, if you maintain a regular app and a webapp, you might find that the same phone handles webapp and regular app differently (one does the zoomout, one doesn´t). I also wouldn´t be surprised if there is differences between browsers too.

    I find it to be a pretty convoluted problem (and I think it shouldn´t have to be but what can you do...), and the best solution may actually be to implement your own keyboard and suppress the native keyboard if possible, which it may not be in all cases.

    EDIT: I just noticed that you use the preview, try building a debug apk and see how it behaves on the phone. It may work different when build as apk (or not... read above)

  • Sort of, yeah. I wouldn't even need/want individual pixels. I take triangles at ~10px too, probably even bigger.

  • Since we are talking about polygon decomposition... would this allow objects to break/shatter into smaller individual pieces from a big one? That would be cool :)

  • This is causing me to hesitate releasing the plugin. Depending on what you want out of the plugin, this could be a show-stopper...!

    You can always release it as a beta if you are unsure, as soon as more people use it it´s likely that they will find a bunch of bugs you never found anyway. Every software has some quirks or bugs here and there and often there are ways to live with them or work around.

  • The easiest would be to stagger the loading a bit like

    Load dictionary

    Wait

    Load dictionary

    Wait

    ....

    Go to layout

    The animation will still stutter a bit though but at least it won't look frozen. On that note, I've never seen a loading animation not stutter. The actual use of a loading animation is to let the user know that everything is still running (and not frozen/hanging)

  • Try Construct 3

  • This is because mouse and touch behave a bit different overall.

    Mouse can get a position all the time, you don´t have to click.

    Touch can get a position BUT you can only get that position when you are actually touching. (How else would that work, there is no "mouse hover" equivalent)

    Holding click should work since you are simulating touch. If that isn´t what you want you´ll have to split those up as BadMario suggested.

    *grabs popcorn*

    I don't understand why you'd use this weird setup with return value. Why not just do

    FunctionA

    FunctionB

    FunctionC

    ...

    And maybe use signals/wait for signals if needed?
