Not sure... inconsistent results in various situations would be hard to pin down.

The main thing that comes to mind is that the array compare current value condition only works within an array for each element event, but yours doesn't seem to be the case.

Anyways I'm glad you got something working! I can pretty confidently say uninstalling and reinstalling would not change anything. If you want to post your test capx maybe I can poke at it a bit, I'm pretty curious now <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink">

Hey! Just tested the file again and now it's working both ways? I'm not sure why I was running into trouble now..especially so consistently.. But on the bright side, hopefully this means my other project will act reliably as well. Might as well share the file anyways lol.

I think this should work:

Have Array width set to 0 before beginning.

On start of layout:

For each (ordered) X.UID ascending

X is Overlapping Y - Push X.UID front of Array

If you're not doing something at the start of the layout you can try:

- For each X

-

- ----- X is Overlapping Y - Push X.UID front of Array

- ----- Once While True

------------------------------------

- ----- X is not Overlapping Y - Call function ("Check for X.UID"(X.UID)

- ----- Once While True

On function "Check for X.UID" (X.UID) -

Repeat Array.width times

System compare Array.at(loopindex) = function.param(0) --> Array Delete (loopindex)

I'm away from home but I hope that works!

Hmmm not for me. I notice your arrays are only one dimensional. I'm doing a 2 dimensional array so perhaps that's where the difference is coming in? I've tried this in a test capx and it never works unless I use the system to compare the values. After trying in multiple projects since this post I've even found that the outcome is inconsistent on desktop (If it's a sprite that is shifted it works, if a button, maybe not) but completely consistent on an iPad. So I'm kind of baffled. If you continue to find that both logics work in a 2 dimensional array, I'll have to uninstall and reinstall everything I suppose? Not sure what else I could do.

Thank you for helping me to understand that functionality dop2000 and for finding that tutorial for me. I'll have to get moving on this custom textbox .

Hello all,

I am currently trying to loop through a specific array location (10, loopindex) to look for a value ("Com") at that location and generate a list of users who have that value (Each user has their own data stored in their own Y value of the array). This logic does not seem to be working...and this is actually kind off an important piece of my current project.

My current approach is:

-Repeat: Array.height times

Array: compare value at (10,loopindex) = "Com" --> System: Create Button Object at X/Y

How else might I approach this to get the result I'm looking for?

Thanks for any help!

EDIT:

I discovered that using the Array object to check for the value does not work as expected, but using the System to compare values in the array does. I'll leave this up for anyone who may benefit. If anyone knows why that might happen from a logic perspective I'd also love to know!

Problem Description

Keyboard input does not change variables if you are typing in a textbox. When inputting numbers, a value detecting integers should increase. It does so when you are not typing in a textbox, but does not do so when the user is typing in a textbox. I would expect that the system should still detect keyboard input to update the variable regardless of what Objects are also dependent on keyboard input.

Attach a Capx

https://www.dropbox.com/s/t4bvyxuxhjdth ... .capx?dl=0

Description of Capx

A text object is set to display the value of a variable that detects the number of times a user presses a number key on the keyboard. A tetbox is available to demonstrate that this value does not update as expects when typing numbers into its field.

Steps to Reproduce Bug

Step one: Press any number. Step two: Click in the text box Step three: Type more numbers Step four: Repeat steps pressing "backspace" which should reduce the variable value. This also does not work with the textbox object but works otherwise.

Observed Result

The variable does not update when using numbers or backspace in the textbox, but does when you aren't typing in the textbox field.

Expected Result

No matter what objects are looking for input, all actions and objects should be able to detect keyboard inputs and update the variables accordingly.

Well it worked, i checked. Can you share the project file again? I'll look into it.

Oh wow, thank you for taking a look!!! I'm just getting to work but when I get home I'll PM you the file.

If you look in the browser console (always look in the console, you're working with javascript for Christ's sake), you'll see error message:

> JS code: jstat.normal.cdf
jstat is not defined
[/code:w57miijg]

And this is true. Thre's no "jstat" variable or object in your js script. No wonder, the result is "undefined" which is interpreted by Constrauct as zero. 

But there's "jStat". So what you wanted to do is call "jStat.normal.cdf" function, right? You should use "Call JS function" action then. Like this:

[img="http://valerypopoff.ru/temp/scirra-forum/jstat.png"]

Don't use "Execute JS code" action unless it's absolutely necessary, because it uses "eval", which is slow.


> Hey @valerypopoff, I'm excited to use your plugin but I'm having trouble integrating a few files into a project that I've got working in the command line otherwise. What I'm essentially trying to do is call a function from the jstat library to convert a z score to a percentage value. In my most recent attempt I'm only using  jstat and trying as many combinations of things as I can think of bit my return value is always 0.

Hey valerypopoff , thanks for getting back to me so quickly! argh lol, thwarted by case. Thank you for letting me know about the console; I was trying to see what was going on with the debugger - which I learned was not helpful lol. I'm only just learning about js and how to do these things so I appreciate the direction (total noob here).

The function still isn't working (normal also does not appear to be defined) but now at least I can investigate what's going on there in the js file <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">. Thanks again!

This section of the construct forums has always been one of my favorites. I love all the cool effects everyone here makes and appreciate how much time and dedication people put in. One thing that has always stumped me though, is what the licensing stipulations are for everyone's work. I'd hate to accidentally include someone's work without doing everything I need to do, and so by and large I tend to avoid using anything here (or in the adding area) without some sort of expressed conversation with people.

With all this in mind, can I request that this gracious community try transitioning these addons to the new addon section for c2 (on the construct.net site)? This way all license (or paid license) information is clear and people can browse the addons more efficiently. Is anyone already working toward this?

Thanks again for all your amazing effects, hard work, and graciousness!!!

Did you look at the bug reports for Nw.js directly? I found that certain versions also don't allow my programs to run on OSX, and had to roll back to get things working until the issue is fixed. You may have stumbled on another bug with that version?
