  • I believe the Admob SDK requests WAKE_LOCK, NETWORK_STATE & BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE, it's not something we specify. I expect WAKE_LOCK is used for full screen adverts.

    I've updated the Share plugin, I believe the new versions should already be included in builds.

    Mmm I've been using the aapt CLI command to inspect APKs. Either there is a plugin I'm not aware of using READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, or the play store adds it if your using WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE for some reason.

    What other mobile orientated plugins are you using?

    Share, Mobile Advert and... ?

  • fredriksthlm I have yet to see a single APK with the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission on, can you confirm what method you are using to check what permissions are on the APK?

    I looked at the share plugin, and it does require the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission. But only for sharing remote files/images. It's fairly trivial to remove, and we don't currently expose an action for doing that so should be a safe enough change. If we do add one in future then the permission check box can be used.

  • Yeah looks fine now, I prefer tea though ;)

  • Only shows the first frame for some reason, then goes blank. CreativeMind I think it shows related gifs when you hover over it, which do work!

  • Tokinsom You should try firing up the "Raycast reflections" example project. It casts a ray with "as many reflections as it needs". Depending on how long those rays are that is a lot of collision checks. I'm seeing ~1.5% CPU time increase for 50000 collision checks per second.

  • I think when sharing anything other than text the share plugin has to save the content to public storage somewhere, which is probably why it has it. We actually already forked the share plugin a while back to workaround an issue. So we can make changes to it if we need to.

    Thanks for telling me about this, I will take a look at the plugin and try to decide what the best action to take is.

  • We only have 1 version active at a time, it's not configurable. It's currently v9.

    The exporter places a version number into the config.xml for PGB users, as their default version is quite old, but the build service doesn't use that.

  • I've updated the string to

    Property "{0}" of the "{1}" plugin is required to export your project, but it is currently blank. Please complete the property and retry.

    Which I'm hoping is a bit clearer?

  • Yeah sorry I spent about 20 minutes trying to wrap my head around how it would work, comes across in how I explained it! I was proposing a transpose feature yes. 3 buttons transpose x - y, transpose x - z, transpose y - z

    The data editor is on it's second major revision and it's still quite complicated to work with. I have ideas on how to improve it further, but can't justify the time required to tear it to pieces and rebuild

    it again. Which is a shame, because I think it would have made this easier.

  • I figured it would be something along those lines. Thanks for taking the time to explain.

    Flipping the axis like this would probably mean us having to rebuild the view. Then have some logic when creating/reading that data back to map it to the corrected axis. As arrays are 3D there are 3 possible flips, and 6 combinations ( 3 * 2 * 1 ) which makes the remapping logic more complicated ( as well as the associated UI ).

    In your situation your just interested in "viewing it the other way" but modifying the data is actually easier to implement I think. Also it actually allows you to change the data instead of the view, which some people will want to do.

    This will probably end up towards the bottom of the TODO list unfortunately, but I will add it to my notes to investigate.

  • dop2000 We probably could, but is there a reason why you can't just have your data structured in the other direction?

  • Try Construct 3

  • I think you might have been misunderstanding the "logical or" operator.

    It evaluates the left hand side and checks if that side it "truthy". If it is truthy it will return the left hand value. If it is "falsy" it will evaluate the right hand side and return that value instead. For numbers "0" is the only "falsy" value.

    Looking at your expression it would have always been returning the left hand side. AllanR's suggestion of using the "choose" expression is what your expected the "or" operator to do I expect? Which is to randomly return one of the values.
