  • This guide has some advice about importing third-party scripts.

  • There have been no changes to Construct's IAP plugin in the latest release cycle. The last change was in r394 back in June which updated the underlying Cordova plugin version. So if you were already using r397.2 stable and updated to r407, there have not been any changes to IAP.

  • Isn't that correct though? If you scale up the display to make everything larger, it in effect gives you a smaller screen size for the same size content, and so content should adapt accordingly. If you could ignore that effect, then you could make an app that keeps everything the same size ignoring the system display scale, which then defeats the purpose of changing the system display scale.

  • Normally you shouldn't set a minimum delta time at all. You don't want your game to start running in fast-forward if it goes over 60 FPS - what if someone has a 120 Hz display? It's intended to only be set for things like catch-up time.

  • There's no way to identify the real physical screen size, at least from information browsers give you. How do you know if the display is a colossal display used by the stage at a concert, or a desktop monitor? There may be no difference in the resolution or device pixel ratio in either case.

    On mobile devices, your best bet is probably just to rely on the screen size reported by Platform Info. That is in CSS pixels so does not vary with the device pixel ratio, and so you can probably work on the assumption CSS pixels are about the same physical size across devices, and so the screen size is a rough indication of the display size.

  • (if Ashley reads this: please reach out, I will need a small expansion in the edittime SDK (only one extra function) to make this project fully work with the best user experience possible and without needing to hack the editor and potentially risk future developers projects)

    If you wish to submit a feature request you can do so here.

  • What's the point of allowing developers to define their own c3runtime/main.js if other different files are automatically searched anyway?

    Construct only looks for files that your addon configures. But the default configuration includes runtime files plugin.js, type.js, instance.js etc. If you don't want the default configuration, call SetC3RuntimeScripts() with an array of just the script files you want to use.

  • Try clearing your browser cache.

  • As ever, we get far, far more feature requests than we can possibly act upon, which is part of the reason we have the addon SDK in the first place. If you want to submit an official feature request, you can do so here.

  • Your code also confuses object types and instances. I'd suggest going through the Learn JavaScript in Construct tutorial, or the quick-start guide, or using TypeScript which will catch such mistakes for you.

  • When you choose to use a third-party addon, you are trusting the developer of that addon for long-term maintenance. If they give up on it for any reason - which they are perfectly entitled to do, especially if it's free - then it won't be supported any more. You should bear this in mind when choosing to use third-party addons.

    The entire purpose of the addon SDK is to allow other developers to implement more features than we have the resources to do ourselves. It is not generally feasible for us to officially reimplement any particular third-party addon, and besides doing so defeats the purpose of the SDK.

    The Addon SDK v2 ought to have the technical capability to support this - it supports all officially supported APIs from the old SDK, and if any are missing, we will prioritize implementing them.

  • It all works for me - the key is to put the code with the call to registerProcessor in a separate JavaScript file in the 'Files' folder, and load it with audioContext.audioWorklet.addModule("audioWorklet.js"). Here's an example.
