  • Thank you Dru. Perfect!

  • Can I change specific list control items text colour?

    Eg: All lines are black text except...

    Item 1

    Item 2

    Item 3 <-- Want this text to be red.

    Item 4

    I took a look at the manual (https://www.scirra.com/manual/155/list) where we do have

    Styling List objects

    List form controls can be customised in a huge number of ways via CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). Rather than adding actions to set all of the possible properties, the List object exposes a Set CSS style action. Knowing CSS will of course be an advantage here, but it is simple to use for simple properties. A few examples are listed below.

    Make the text red: Set "color" to "red"

    I suspect this means the entire control, not one line. (Yes I tried it, but all the text changes.

    Thoughts?

  • Short answer - No.

    There are a couple in C2, but none in C3

    It stopped me dead on a few projects and made me wish (still do) that I should have gone C2 in a PC emulator :S

  • I don't believe any were ported to C3.

  • It would help if you explained what your problem(s) are and what you need help with.

  • This was good to know, while I have absolutely no interest in serious 'gambling' app, I was interested in fun slots etc, and figured it wasn't allowed.

    Now I see that it is, rock on

    Thanks.

  • use an array.

    Randomize the entries in the array, and then compare the two entries when selected.

  • I also went the Epic route, I refer back to it from time to time to see how things were done. It covers a lot of ground. I was quite happy with it.

  • Yes, as mentioned you posted in C3

    For C2, you can rewrite the events quite easily. Here's a screenshot of the events.

    As for the corrupt link, works for me, you can try removing the ?dl=0 but it won't help since it is C3

  • Try Construct 3

  • I *only* have C3, but I do confess that I'm considering going back for C2.

    The primary reason is the addons mentioned above, there are several I could really do with, but they aren't on C3, and the authors are not converting them. For that I have no work around. I actually want to write business apps not games, so I need some web page hookins.

    I like C3, but the browsers tend to crash from time to time, eating my work with them I've had the best luck with Chrome, and the worst with Safari. (I'm on Mac).

    C2 would be a struggle as I'll have to run it in a PC window on Parallels on the Mac, but it does work.

    If just doing games, C3 will get the job done, but I feel it is behind C2, and I'd be happier to feel it was moving in front.

  • First, attached is a super easy cheat way. You can draw by hand, and replace the blocks with coloured ones.

    This is a quick solution, but not great for highly complicated images that you might want to load.

    A better solution would be to load the values into an array, then build the image on the fly. Then you can check the array for the correct value to colour with. That way you can load via files/JSON etc.

    This however might give you some thoughts to mull.
