  • For example, you have a dictionary...

    Thanks for a good explanation, but this works with keys. But I need to get entire Dictionary.AsJSON in my script. Is it even possible without using extra variable?

  • Try something like this

    Thank you, but what if I need to get only one special Dictionary object, while there are several in my game? And what is 'foo'?

  • I'm trying to set a variable in my script (scripts in Events) with Dictionary.AsJSON,

    I did this but it doesn't seem to return the correct data (JSON with keys/values):

    var gameData = runtime.objects["dictGameData"].getFirstInstance()

    How to get exact dictionary object as JSON using its name (e.g. "dictGameData") or maybe its UID and then get its all keys/values as JSON to set a variable?

  • I finally found a solution: just move all your music files from the "Music" folder to the "Sound" folder and that annoying player on Android won't bother you anymore!

    Just checked this example on 3 year old smartphone and it shows pretty poor performance with almost empty layout, about 50% cpu (high draw calls) and fps drop to 30 when thumbsticks is "in touch". Any idea how to improve this?

  • I'm afraid there's no way to disable this at the moment.

    Hi Ashley, sad to hear. Maybe there are some ways to do this in an exported html5 game?

  • Hi bros! How to remove this annoying audio player in notifications of Android for a web game (not an app)?

    I tried this but with no luck:

    On suspended > Stop "tag"

  • If you choose templates, they definitely need to be in the same project, on another layout.

    A template can consist of several objects combined into a hierarchy. So you will have to create two templates for each room. One template with a tilemap, and a second template with a hierarchy containing all other objects from that room - enemies, loot etc.

    Thanks for the direction! Your post is helpful as always :)

  • So there is a condition at 105 that enemy has LOS in that event which you've decided to cut off in the screenshot?

    No, all the events for this effect is under [if weapon = "shock"], event 105 is for another weapon. However I already solved the problem by creating these two beams [on "enemy spawn" function] and then set it invisible with width zero. Then when the enemy fires, I take further action.

    Thank you guys for your answers anyway!😄

  • ...you want it to create just 2 beams only. The question is when?..

    So, I have a few enemies on layout. They can shoot when they see the player (instance boolean "is shooting"), so when some of the enemies "is shooting" and their weapon is "shock" - they spawn two beams (each of enemy who shoot with "shock").

  • ...because one needs to run every tick and one doesn't...

    Sure, but how to call the event block with "For from 1 to 2" to run once per each instance that meets the condition at the top, even if I will split these events up? The code on screenshot below creates beams endlessly as well...
