  • Can Construct 2 make multiplayer iOS games for iPhones and such?

    If yes, what is the best way to test online servers before uploading to the App Store?

  • Hello fellow Construct 2 users, I've recently run into a couple of problems with an app I'm trying to make. I have s tring of text that I need to modify a bit. I need one word in the string to be bold, highlighted, or italicized. Then I need to be able to replace the modified word with the X values of an array.

    Something like this maybe:

    "We went to the store on monday"

    replace(String.Text, (red words),Array.At(x))

    Any idea if this is possible?

    Help would be much appreciated

  • So set all of my X's and Y's, and then use that formula to generate the X (new word) value into the Y value (sentence).

    What if I'd need to replace a word in the middle of the sentence?

  • Hello fellow Construct 2 users, I've recently run into a couple of problems with an app I'm trying to make. My app consists of an XY array. On my X axis, I have words. On my Y axis, I have sentences. I need to fill the elements in between with combinations of the X and Y values.

    Here's an example:

    Let's say that my X axis consists of the values "moose" with an index of 0, "goat" with an index of 1, and "monkey" with an index of 2.

    My Y axis consists of the values "We saw a cat" with an index of 0, "You want a cat" with an index of 1, and "I own a cat" with an index of 2.

    You follow?

    Now what I need to do is swap out the word "cat" with all of the other X values and record them into my array.

    For instance. Point (0,0) on my new array would have a value of "We saw a moose", and point (1,2) would have a value of "I own a goat."

    I have to replace one word in the sentence with every element in my X axis and record the new sentences in every combination into the array.

    I've tried many methods but they all involve me entering the data to every XY point by hand. Unfortunately my entire array will need to consist of about 1 million elements, seeing how my X and Y axis both have 1000 elements each. I don't have 4 months straight to sit and type in every possible combination for the values of every XY index.

    Is there anyway to solve this problem?

  • Perfect, thanks for the advice friend. It's working beautifully.

  • Hello fellow Construct 2 users, I've recently run into a couple of problems with an app I'm trying to make. The basic idea is that users can type text into a text-box and submit an answer. I'd like to know how to limit their text options down to a selection of words that I provide, like a word database. The idea is that they can only type the words that exist in the database. Any other words they may type that aren't in the database turn back to a blank text-box and aren't submitted.

    Aside from this dilemma, I'd also like to know how to create a generator for 2 word databases once I've overcome the first problem stated. Basically, users can click a button and a random word from the database will appear on the screen for the player to view. This text doesn't have to be editable, it is read-only.

    I'd really appreciate some help on this guys, it's driving me half-insane. Thank you.

  • Hello fellow Construct 2 users, I was wondering if there is anyway to loop a long sequence of images for my background. The problem is I cannot use a tiled background because the images cannot repeat themselves. Each image needs to lead into the next picture. All together I have about 60+ images (all different) in a specific order that I need to have moving right-to-left on the screen. I'm having trouble finding the best method to get the entire sequence of images to repeat itself in a fluid motion after the last image is in the center of the screen. Following that last image should be the very first image, giving it the illusion that the sequence is continuous.

    What's my best bet?
