  • I'm not interested in correcting it in Firefox as making it work right in firefox could screw up things for three other tested / working browsers. I've been noticing more how firefox is becoming an outlier. I guess because it's not using a Chromium Core it's going to find itself outside of wider accepted standards.

  • OK so learned a few things.. yes Firefox has some serious issues with placement. maybe it's a new bug?

    The first is Chrome the second is Firefox in the Construct 3 Editor.

  • thanks for checking into this and comparing. I have the text and buttons on different layers. Maybe if i reduce the number of layers it could help. That is something I could try.

    I made this entirely in Construct 3. So I guess Construct is the guy who has CSS3 issues.. I just put things on a given layer and make sure they look right in the editor. I'm not doing anything special. Also this has nothing to do with the WebGL effects thankfully.

    If you run this on a weaker computer with little/no GPU I have a rule setup that disabled the shader effects to save on FPS because the shaders kill weaker computer.

    Also I guess I could try loading Construct in Firefox and see how things look in there. I always develop in Chrome.

  • So I've got a site where all the text looks right on Chrome, Edge, and Safari.. but on Firefox the text placement gets skewed.. 8bitwidgets.com

    I have platform added and I see I can detect Chrome OS, iOS, android, etc... but not "Firefox".

    Annoying I have to even do this but I want the site to display some kind of splash warning that firefox will mis-align the text on the site.

    Thanks,

  • Ultimately I decided to use the browser detect event and i simply hide the "contact" button for mobile users. 8bitwidgets.com good enough.. put the email address on the main screen. v51

  • Hey sorry I totally got lost from this subject.. so more importantly then even a "link", is email. when you click "contact" which fires off an email on a PC.. it won't on a mobile browser.

    I'm looking to change it up some.. for now I think since I already detect mobile or not mobile, i'm will just show my email address for mobile users, while PC users will get an email popup.

    I would just think that clicking an "email me" link in a game on a browser would pull up the default "new email" from the mobile device.

  • Hi everyone, so I noticed I can open a new tab under a mac / pc browser, but in mobile clicking a link won't do the same thing. Is there some special other way to achieve this?

    My goal is to allow someone in my game while on a mobile browser to go to another site. Maybe this is a security issue with mobile browsers but i still can't help but imagine this is possible.

  • oooooo gotcha, so it's inside that area for values. that makes sense! i forget those values can be tucked inside the compare value area. thanks!

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • I'm going to experiment with this, but i'm a little unclear how this would work.. i mean i guess on the first event sheet i'd put some kind of listener? i guess i can't wrap my head around if I give someone a URL and i put a hash in it.

    So if someone visits "example.com/index.html#settings" what in the C3 project is listening for this URL?

    so there is a "on hash change" which i don't know if that's even relevant. so if i had three different "example.com/index.html#settings" like settings1 settings2 and settings3.. so the browser has "on hash change".. then it wants an action to follow that..

    As far as actions go there is "set hash".. but we're not setting the hash we're trying to listen to url with a certain hashtag to do a given action. i feel like neither of these browser objects would work as i would expect.

    I would imagine there is a browser listen event that is "listen for x hashtag" and if detechted do an action, but i'm not seeing this.

  • ah that's awesome! ok sweet. Thanks so much for this. Sorry I got side tracked with some other stuff and I guess I didn't check notify me for the thread!

    I don't need to do this much but I could definitely see sending people to a particular area could have it's advantages like my catalog of products vs going through the front door all the time.

    Thanks!

  • So if we have a website that has a construct game on it. is there any way to point to a particular part of it by clicking a unique URL? like imagine you shared a link to your game online but you want one person to jump right into a particular part of the game rather than always going ot the main menu?

    Thanks,

  • OK I don't know what happened but somehow my browser was set to block popups so of course emails and urls were not opening.. very weird as i never opted in, but i did a browser reset to purge some old files and boom.. it's back!

  • So I have some links to open something in a new tab and this works fine for PC browsers.. but when i click these same buttons on a mobile browser, a new tab doesn't appear and of course no change of focus to the other tab occurs since no tab opens.

    Is there some special thing needed for mobile browsers?

    I also noticed that clicking the "contact" button which opens email also doesn't work.. i could have sworn this was working before..

  • i figured but i still wanted to confirm. the whole local storage thing is one of those things i manage to get working but it's always a little touch and go to get things working perfectly.

  • ok cool this makes a lot of sense and sounds simple enough to do by just removing some files.. but do you know if this data is separate from the "local storage" data that would be saved regarding preferences / high scores?
