Can anyone explain why this works? I still struggle with picks in Construct 3.

Oh, this worked beautifully! Thank you!

Put matter in a Family, then you can reference the objects separately.

For each matter

-> For each family

...

I will try this... maybe I'll understand you better in practice. I'm not sure I get it.

I have a project that uses node.js to query a SQLite database and present the data using HTML. I would like to be able to fetch this same data with construct to create interactive infographics.

I have one (working in HTML) route I'm testing called "/show_tables" which simply responds in JSON with a list of rows and populates an HTML <table> with the data. I'm trying to get Construct to do the same thing. I need to populate a Construct 3 text box with this response.

Anyone done this?

Spooky Spirits I have just posted a demo which may help you with this task:

You can use the same method to copy rooms in your game.

I downloaded this and will check it out soon. Thank you.

Is it possible to share a single image resource between objects or am I looking at redundant image data in my saved file? The reason I ask is I'm using more than one tilemap object but they both need the same image. It works fine loading it into both but down the road I need to think about optimization.

Each object should have instance variables for x,y positions, z order ( or you can just create them in certain order ) Then when you drop the main room ( wall, floor object or a thumbnail of the room, whatever ) into a layout it spawns everything else and sets it to their x,y positions

You know I've been thinking about what you said here... and I bet with the use of families I could automate this. Still should be built in though ;)

That sounds pretty painful. There needs to be a way to automate that. Like nodes in Godot.

Yeah I'm going to need a different solution. Let me explain exactly what I need to do...

I need a room made up of a floor, wall and ceiling sprites. Inside I need to have objects that come with the room such as furniture and a door on either side. These rooms need to be spawnable and droppable by the player. Imagine a template on the side of the screen where you can drag prefab rooms out and place them.
