  • I don´t think that´s possible. You gotta put everything on one layout (but you can use layers of course)

  • It´s hard to tell exactly what is happening just from the screenshot, but my guess is that it´s because you use "array for each XY" as the following sub-event where you pick "icons" will also work for every cell in the array that just contains 0. I think using "array for each X" and some adjustments should solve this.

  • Unixtime is in milliseconds. You have to use floor(unixtime/86400000)

    It´s also mentioned in the thread you linked, just a bit further down.

  • Start Construct with internet available once and wait for it to say something like "construct is now ready to work offline" in a little blue box. From then on it will work offline for 1 week.

  • Hmmm.... and if you don´t use any? Because if it still fails then the issue is somewhere else. Imo it´s not really that important to have it activated anyway, it isn´t even actual encryption, it´s just minification. Best case it cuts some kilobytes of your file and there´s plenty of tools to reverse it, so why bother.

  • I really don´t know if that helps. I suppose the best idea is to not use the advanced one and opt for the regular instead?

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

  • I am not aware that it would fail, I use a bunch of loop functions and haven´t seen any issues. Also I think you misunderstood what dop said in that post.

    If your loop fails, maybe there is something wrong in your events?

  • Ok so I did several more tests with the window in focus and it seems that they semi-consistently fail after 5 minutes. Specifically they failed after 295, 299, 299, 314, 299, 318 and again 299 seconds.

    So maybe that helps?

  • It still isn´t reliable with suspending. If it fails after unsuspending it does so immediately, but often times it just doesn´t fail. I´ll try having the window in focus and see if it also fails without suspending.

    Here´s the file I´m testing with, it basically just sends an AJAX request every second until it fails.

    EDIT: First test it failed after only 136 seconds even with the window permanently in focus.

    EDIT2: The second test is now at 29 minutes and still going... :V

    I decided to end the test after almost 40 minutes and suspended the window for 5 minutes. Guess what, it STILL didn´t fail? What the hell? I´ve now suspended and unsuspended several times and it´s still going. I think it´s safe to say this one just won´t fail no matter what.

  • I´m working on it, but it fails extremely sporadically. After several tests it failed shortest after 51 seconds and longest only after almost 15 minutes. I´d guess it´s related to this github.com/Scirra/Construct-3-bugs/issues/4422

    I think the issue may be related to suspending the window (which also suspends the engine) and maybe also suspends that part that is supposed to refresh the service worker.

  • Yeah, the issue absolutely still exists as of the latest beta, it happens with and without worker mode (which was the proposed cause of the issue). I´ll try to get a repro ready and post it in the issue tracker.

  • Cool! I´ve added a comment.
