  • I found a 2015 version of the plugin and installed it but the same problem. I got lucky and found an alternate version of my app that did not use that plugin.

  • I tried to open an old project I made in 2015 that used the cocoon ads plug-in and I get the following error message.

    Is there really no way to open the project anyway or have it open the project wile removing the events that use the now broken plugin?

    If not, I guess I need to somehow find the 2015 build of the cocoon js plugin and try to install it in 2019 Construct 2?

  • Are you using the draw-self mode? That might explain the issue. If you'd like you can send the simple example file to me and I'll see if I can figure anything out while Edgar is busy.

    Sorry to double post - here is a blank project with just those particular spriter objects dropped in, using the default retro settings and the pixel perfect checkbox checked., just to make sure it wasn't me or my ported project. Maybe it's a problem with the C3 runtime nearest neighbor? Some parts of my sheet aren't even rotated or scaled or anything, and it looks like (in my opinion as a graphic designer) it's trying to resize to like 99% or something.

  • hello. it seems spriter plugin doesn't work in c2 eventhough i followed this video: youtube.com/watch

    is there something wrong with your plugin?

    Can you please explain in more detail? What format are you using?(draw self or normal) and is there any kind of error message? What is the resulting problem?

    Can you make a screen recording of your full process of exporting from Spriter and importing into Construct and then email a link to the video to mikeggo@brashmonkey.com ?

  • So in human English you're saying I can delete the "(...)" part and it should work if there is a loop currently looping? ;)

    What do you mean by "0 or 1 parameter"? What parameter? Is there documentation? What goes there? The name of a loop or what? if so, what's the syntax?

  • That won't work for my needs, BUT can you please explain the "(...)" that is forced at the end of LoopIdex in Construct 3? I can't find any documentation of it and it's completely crippling my progress. Is it for a name of a loop index? What about all the types of loops you can't name like the For Each loop for an object?

  • I'm loading tile map data from a file into a dictionary object, so that I can load the data per dictionary key (as json) into each specific tile-map object (one per layer of scrolling)

    So, if I could have kept track of the loop index of the fore each key loop that would have been very clean and simple.

    The simplest solution is a variable to keep track of the loop index, which is a shame, but not the end of the world.

  • The problem is I can retrieve the name of the key or the actual data in the key, BUT there's no way to get what loop index. :( This is the info I need.

    Is the only solution really to make a value and manually increment it in the loop?

  • Hi,

    I think in construct 2 I can do the "Loop index" check and it will properly return the loop index of a loop I set with the Dictionary Object/For Each loop per key action, but I can't get this to work in Construct 3.

    I think this is due to the syntax change in C3.

    C3 Seems to force additional syntax with parentheses and "..." which I assume is to be able to enter the name of a specific loop to text for that loop, but you cant name a Dictionary object for each key loop and when I delete the parentheses so there's no name it acts as though there's no syntax problem but the check fails... it does not successfully check the loop index.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks.

  • Thanks very much Asmodean, both of your suggestions work perfectly. Would you know how I would go about loading this same json string from a json file in the same folder as the app without using NW,js?

    I'm trying to find an action to load a string from a file and can't find it... I can load an entire dictionary or array, but I need to load this same string from a file, not the string in an array or a dictionary.

    Thanks.

  • Please see this video:

    When I use "As Json" to to retrieve a Json string from a TileMap object, that very same text throws a syntax error when I try to "set from Json"

    Any idea what the problem is here?

    This issue is the same on Construct 2 or 3.

  • Hi everyone. Thanks for all the testing and bug reports. Edgar is currently tied up, but I'll make sure he knows about each of these as soon as he's free to look into them. In the meantime please keep on testing. The more bugs he can go through per debugging session, the faster it will be completely stable.
