Jank can be caused by background network activity,

I think the web worker thing was supposed to solve this by having the game on a separate thread

but (dont quote me on this as I'm not as up to date on construct news I used to be)

but the last I read on one of Ashley's updates was that the worker thing was deactivated for now pending a future update of chrome . that was a couple of months back I think so not sure if there has been an update since then.

I didnt try the apk

but preview is always janky and not representative of real world hosted or nwjs

eg (i hosted your project)

yamaforce.com/Test002

is as smooth as butter for me and that is on Intel 520 integrated graphics

(edit) tested (hosted) on crappiest phone in the house (my work phone) moto g4, and still smooth as butter. zero jank

Hey man, chill.

I have been using C3 for a year and I would advise if you are using C3 to always use the latest beta

it will usually have the least problems, and any major problems are always fixed very quickly

up until a few weeks ago I would advise develop using C3 but with C2 runtime

but from this week I would say it is pretty safe to also start using C3 run-time full time.

C3 is excellent software, you will see.

also, it may not be obvious right now, but there is a really good and helpful community lurking in the shadows.....

Man, this is all very well but...besides not being very noob friendly.... this is also seriously messing with my chi.

I have been happily assuming that the default values are taken from the one in the project tree and my project depends critically on values set there and assumes those values when spawning new instances...

Ashley

ehhh... yea re above posts .... is there some rhyme reason to all this , what assumptions can we assume WRT initial instance values ?

dop2000, tunepunk

Finally! got a chance to do this, (work is just kicking my butt at the moment)

its pretty much working, couple of small things to iron out but yea very pleased with it.

basically I used tunepunk's code and swapped in dop2000 idea of System Pick by overlapping point

and the result is below,

so thanks guys, really really appreciated. One step closer to getting a demo up then you can try for real.

I have never done myself but isn’t it just like touch

when the user presses start or another button to enter the game cant you record the ID of that joypad and asign it to the player sprites UI icons etc

then if that joypad is disconnected

you can just test for the index of that joypad

when joypad disconnected

is joypad index xxx

then do whatever

Actually a slightly better and shorter solution would be using "System Pick by overlapping point" event. Instead of the bounding box it uses collision polygons and will work with weirdly shaped buttons.

Hmmm, sounds interesting, I will check this out, sadly last night after rolling up sleeves and opening construct I fell straight asleep. these days I just havnt got the willpower to sit in front of a computer all night after sitting in front of a computer all day.....

Nice Mr tunepunk

that works perfectly, it is exactly what I was looking for thank you very much sir. looks like youve done the way dop2000 also suggested...

so thank-you both.

you wouldn't believe I have been trying to solve this for the last 2 weeks thinking there was something wrong with construct....

it seems I cant see the wood for the trees sometimes.....

So now I need to see if this can work across a family of multiple buttons and shoehorn it into my game menu. (rolls up sleeves) Im going in......

ill let you know how it goes.

I think the easiest solution would be to compare X,Y of the touch with that saved ID with button coordinates. Something like this:

> Touch.XForID(VarTouchID) is between Button.BBoxLeft and Button.BBoxRight
Touch.YForID(VarTouchID) is between Button.BBoxTop and Button.BBoxBottom

Mr dop2000 thankyou,

I do beleive that might mork!, cant beleive I didnt think of that...

I think too much black ops is rotting my brain....I will have to wait till tonight to try it out. will get back if succsessfull. Cheers.
