  • Or, if you are comfortable with editing project files, here is a little tool I made that converts tilemap data to a string that can be stored in Layout.json file. It also shrinks the tilemap. It can be useful if you create tilemaps in runtime and want to store them permanently in the project.

  • I tested with 1000 tilemaps created on every tick and apart from a slightly higher memory usage there's no difference in performance.

    The funny thing is that you can't actually delete those invisible tiles, even if you erase them, they are still stored in timemap data. The only way to shrink the tilemap is to delete all instances of it, restart the editor, create a small blank layout (say, 300x300 px) and place the tilemap object on it.

  • There are three sprites named "target1", "target2" and "target3"

    Do they need to be different objects? Consider combining them into one sprite, maybe with different animations.

    If you are sure they should be different objects, then you need to add them all to a family and define the variable on the family. Then you will be able to pick any family instance:

    Family variable=2 -> Sprite find path to Family

  • Ashley Thanks for the detailed answer! We are of course staying on NWjs for now, but it's good to have a backup option.

  • Tell players they'll need to say goodbye to their previous saves. Keep the old version in another branch, so if they want, they can continue their old games.

    I don't think this qualifies as a solution.

  • I wonder if it's possible to switch from NWJS to WebView2 in an already published Steam game?

    I'm guessing the folder and file structure will be different. Will this cause any issues? Will the game be able to access Local Storage data from NWjs version?

  • When several objects are draggable/clickable you can use "Pick top instance".

    There are many way to prevent click-through - one solution is to disable/enable layer interactivity. For example, when menu layer is active, disable interactivity on all game layers. Another option is to organize events in groups and activate/deactivate them. Say, if an object is clicked, deactivate "UI controls" group.

  • I never really knew how to use the LocalStorage feature

    There are plenty of examples and tutorials. All you have to do is save one value in Local Storage - "isBanned"=1

  • Here is the solution to #2

    dropbox.com/scl/fi/j6vtjlirv55gojr4b0gci/DragAndToggle.c3p

    Like I said, #3 may be difficult. Perhaps you need to use invisible immovable sprites to limit the zone of the box. Or you can allow the object to go through the walls while dragging, but when released snap it to the nearest free shelf.

  • Is obj_item_potions_inventory a member of Inventory_Item family?

    You parent event (Mouse on clicked Inventory_Item) picks a family instance. But it doesn't pick obj_item_potions_inventory instance! Even if it's the same sprite, Construct treats them as different objects.

    So to fix this you need to pick obj_item_potions_inventory which was clicked. The easiest way to do this is to add this condition to sub-events (before comparing the animation name): 

    obj_item_potions_inventory Pick by unique ID = Inventory_Item.UID
