Here's an example C2 project - it should work fine in C3:

dropbox.com/s/z6gbnqa22z7x5uy/ajaxArray.capx
You can check out the json structure under the file folder in the project bar. As piranha305 mentions, you need a specific json format in order to load it into an array.

EDIT: Sorry piranha305 - posted my reply without checking for any updates :-)

In C3, instead of using the On "wave" completed condition, you can add a "wait for previous actions" action under the AJAX request action and then Load ar_HelliWave from AJAX.LastData straight after that.

Here's an example using an AJAX + array that lets you set any number of correct answers:

dropbox.com/s/5inhie14yi7rolr/quizTemplate.c3p
Both the questions and answers are shuffled using permutation tables.

I've added comments throughout the event sheet to explain how it works.

Using a 3D array to store the answers may work for you:

Width = question no.

Height = answers

Depth = correct/incorrect

You can transfer the current question's answers to a separate 2D array if you want to shuffle them before displaying.

I put together a demo that will fill an ellipse of tiles around a point, it should work better than the example I gave above:

You could try this:

Add a variable n, where n is equal to the max distance in the x or y direction that you want to change; in your example it would be 2.

For "i" from -n to n

For "j" from -n to n

->If loopindex("i") + loopindex("j") <= n, Set value at Xspawn+loopindex("i"),Yspawn+loopindex("j") to 1

Set value at (Xspawn,Yspawn) to 16

I think I just had the same thing happen; I returned to Construct and the editor window was completely greyed out. Are you using Chrome? If so I managed to fix it using a method that also works if your browser window blacks out:

Right click on the the chrome icon in the taskbar and open an incognito window - once it's open, close it and the Construct Editor should be restored.

I managed to compensate for the x/y drift, so z-elevation will scale from the object's origin regardless of position in the viewport - updated in the demo linked above.

No worries :-)

I thought I'd accidentally deleted it somehow - either we both did or there's something funky going on. Fingers crossed it doesn't keep happening.

Yeah I had the same issue, not sure why it happened. To fix it I opened Construct in the browser (Chrome) then clicked the three dots in the top right corner and selected "Open in Construct 3". Once it opened I had to repin to the taskbar.
