in order to make buttons like this you need to make sprites , because the buttons only styles basic stuffs text color , background color , text size and border... just basic

I am so thankful, that that was so easy to do. I'm still new to the whole save game thing, so I didn't realize there was a behavior I could use. Either way, thank you so much!

you are very welcome

here is a tips can be helpful to you in future : always check for C2 updates , don't forget to read the releases notes

or each time you install an update don't forget to chak the objects box you might finde a new object , and chek beahviors there might be new ones, this way you will know all features in C2 and by the way check the plugins and beahvior in the forum there is very helpful stuffs will make you do what you think you can't do

:? Heh. You've got me confused and overwhelmed here. I somewhat understand what you're doing here, but it seems so complicated. I'll think on it for a bit and see if anything comes to mind, but at the moment, I got nothing for ya.. Good luck!

haha thanks man, i was afraid maybe i'm just not good enought to find a solution but it seems really defficult issue :i know there is a solution but i can't do it myself because it need some Js Sdk knowledge , like wrapping the sprite plugin and make it returns the animation name at a given index.

Problem Description

my problem can have many solution, i'm not C2 js sdk developer or i would make the changes myself.

i want to pick the sprite animation name using index and not only the current animation name. or let us at least set animation with index or let us name the animation frame with text and get the animation name in a given index.

Expected Result

get animation name at a given index.

prevent the enemy from saving by addming a behavior No save to the enemies

Why do you need to get the animation name? If for some reason, you really need to do it that way, you could do something like if sprite animation frame = 1, then set a variable to whatever you want it to be called. if frame is 2, then change the variable to whatever you like. etc.. then you could call on that variable to do whatever it is you're doing. (this essentially does what you were asking for originally about giving the first frame a number like 95)

But I really don't think it's necessary to do all that if I'm understanding correctly what you're doing.

unfortunatly you didn't , let me tell you why i need it you might suggest me easy solution to my problem, i hade problem with Android keyboard when it shows it scales my page down and make it very small , but i some element are important i need them to still looks big , generally i don't want the page to scaldown. i couldn't figure out how to fix that . so i decided to make my own costum keyboard , i wanted to make buttons for the keyboard but you can't text from button unless you use values don't forget each button have many layers ( i mean lower case , uppercase and special character ) so picking up a value and changing the button text each time isn't a good idea , i thought to make the buttons as sprites, and make 3 different animations for it ( lower case , apper case and special character) i used animations not frame because it have text name while frames uses numbers , so each time you touch the sprite gives you the animation name , and i will name the animations like ( char_91 ) a special text followed by the ascii code of the character shown in the animation then i will remove (char_) , why i use ascii ? because you can't name the animaton with special characters unless you name the button's animation like ("doublecotes") then make text replace and replace that part with doublecotes and that would be a pain to make a special action for each button .

i hade same performance problems as you in the begining ,here are some performance tips :

• manually make your collision polygons and reduce the points if possible.
• don't make very big objects , i know when you are a begginer you just drop 2000x1000 image to be a backdround

just split it for example the background for the sky used a tiled background using small 32x32 single color image.

and the backgrounds element as sprites for examples the trees and clouds and moutains each one of them in a sprite , that would be usefull to make parallax too to make the game looks nice.

• reduce the loops and timed events as much as you can , when you know the score will change only when action happens for example player passes an obstacle , there is no need to make everytick set text....that uses a lot of the devices resources with no need.
• if you need an object with 64*64 size don't make 256*256 then scale it down in the editor thats not helpful to save the platform resources.
• try not to make more than 20 sprites in a single layout. if you need something to be used in another layout don't make another oobject just use that one, to minimise the number of used assets and the app size and the loading time.
• don't use text object use sprite-font instead.
• some proprities are helpful , like pixel rounding , enabling opengl , not clearing background, fullscreen scaling.
• try not to make more than 100 event in eventsheet.
• there are some very helpful features in C2 like importing eventsheet into other layout. and making groupes and functions when you don't need some event tests to happen yet just put them in a inactive groupe and activate them when needed the same for function when you need some some actions to happen in my conditions just put them in a fonction and call it when you need it.
• use as less physic as you can you know it need a lot of mathematic calculations.

and finally in export process don't forget to compress Png even brute compression isn't bad C2 suggests normal compression because it takes less times i didn't have problems with brute compression. and don't export to phonegap it kills the game performance.

when you make project be sure to do all the above and i'm sure it's going to be fine.

ohh i mostly forgot , don't forget to destroy objects outside of layout or when it not needed anymore. some people spawn a lot of objects like in autorunner the obstacles will randomly generated and keep moving until they leave the layout view. it's not helpful at all t have 100 ojects keep moving to the infinity , and the apps makes the calculations for them while you don't need them anymore.

i hope this helpful , i'm sure you have read the performance tips in the tutorial but i have mentoned other things that might be very helpfull too.

Add the browser object and use these expressions to convert over and back.

Browser.ExecJS("'"& char & "'.charCodeAt(0)")

Browser.ExecJS("String.fromCharCode("& ascii &")")

it works man , thank you very much ^^

because then when i get the animation name it will always give me the same text because the sprite doesn't have the option to give you the animation name at an index , it's just give the current animation name.

the app made with C2 it defines itself as a game for example when i export an app and export it , and try to play it offline , it prompt me , this game wont work until you upload it.... this is just an example.

this is a huge problem, i want to load nimation by number like i do for frames or name the frames using text or give the frames the number i want, like giving the 1st frame a number like 95 , is there any solution for this probleem

why i need it , i have some sprites each sprite have 3 animations at least each animation have only 1 frame

each time i pick a sprite i get the animation name from it. i have another button when i click i want all the sprites to change to 2nd animation for each another button to change to animation 3 it's a keybord system the sprites are keys and the buttons are making it toggle to lowercase , uppercase and special character that mans 3 layers for the keyboard. or using frames and give it text name or costum number name?

is there any solution ?

By platforms do you mean android and ios? My guess there is a tag in the manifest that says if it's a game, app or anything else. That said I'm unfamiliar with the export process, and weather or not you can access it or if the process is fully automated.

it's the same here , still not very familiar with the export process. but thanks anyway
