  • You can use a single 1D array and just think of it as a 2D array :)

    Make an array with width=256 and use it to store 16x16 values. If you need an entry, say, for (X=5,Y=1), it's Array.At(1*16+5)

    Or Array.At(Y*16+X)

    Then you can easily remove entries in the middle and shift the rest of the array using "pop" action.

  • Interestingly, Dictionary.Get(Dictionary.CurrentKey)) returns an empty string, as it's supposed to be.

    Also, this doesn't happen with arrays. Array.CurrentValue works correctly with empty values.

    I would say this is a bug, you need to report it!

  • Yeah, see this post:

    construct.net/en/forum/construct-3/general-discussion-7/json-data-types-182020

    It's weird that Scirra devs who are always so cautious about backward compatibility, have made this change, which can potentially break many old projects.

  • If you add more frames, the animation may run slow at low framerates. Say, if you make it 60 frames per second, but the game runs at 30 fps, the animation will play at 50% speed.

  • Does this happen if you copy the tilemap to a blank project?

    Maybe some setting is slightly off on the tilemap or the layer with the tilemap - like z-elevation or angle is not zero. Or you changing the layer scale.

  • lionz I think OP is talking about the new actions which allow to delete animation frames in runtime.

    DreamingADream I don't think there is any easy solution. You can add empty frames and load images from URL into them, which means you have to import these images to your project Files folder.

  • Turns out, you can't assign booleans to integers in JS. Try changing the code like this:

    localVars.debug=(runtime.objects.fSprite.getFirstPickedInstance().getAnimation("idle")==null?0:1);

    And the variable should be local. For global variables use:

    runtime.globalVars.varName

  • That's because the JS code picks the first instance in the entire scope. (which will always be the same in the loop)

    Since you are using For Each loop, you need to pick the family instance by UID. Right before the script, save fSprite.UID to another local variable - varUID. Update the script - instead of getFirstInstance() use getInstanceByUid(varUID)

  • I still struggle to understand what's what on your screenshot.

    Try this:

    dropbox.com/scl/fi/kjhcr6r9furktnme2e3kq/minimap.c3p

    If if doesn't help, please share a small demo project with an example of what the end result should look like.

  • You can assign the result to a local or global variable. Then check that variable.

    localVars.varName=(runtime.objects.Sprite.getFirstInstance().getAnimation("a3")!=null);

    If the animation exists, varName should contain value 1. (but I haven't tried it)

  • Maybe I misunderstand the problem, but try moving the mask object on top of the tilemap+fog. Disable blend modes on tilemaps, and set blend mode on the mask object (I don't remember exactly which one, just try them all). Make sure to enable "force own texture" in layer properties.
