[PLUGIN] CSV, CSV2Array, CSV2Dictionary

rexrainbow, I bow to your hard work on this fabulous plugin, along with all the others that you have shared on Construct 2. I was going to use the built in XML feature but the data I create is so simple that CSV is just much quicker to handle (XML would be better for tree-structure data, I only need to use simple spreadsheet-style data).

Once again, thank you!

Thanks.

Actually, csv plugin could be used to create a fsm(finite-state machine). For example, using row for current state, col for input, and value is next state/command (co-work with function plugin, function plugin has an action named "run command").

Hi, I was searching for the web to find a way to make a cross platform game, and i stumbled across construct 2.

This is a marvelous SDK.

And your addon plugin is wonderful. I will be using your plugin to make my game.

I do have a doubt, while trying to run the file..

Say i a '15 x 1 x 1' File with different random numbers,

I want to load it into the game and pull put these numbers in sequence. 'FIFO'

I am not up to the top game designers, i'm kind of new to this. I would appreciate a small, "how to add" the csv plugin to pull numbers instead of string, as well as adding an external .csv file to be loaded through ajax.

Thanks again

Try RandomArray for random number generator.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for replying.

I was not clear with what i asked. My bad.

This is what i want to do.

I have to take a list of "numbers" from a database (excel/csv, 1D), And import it into Construct 2.

After that, i want to Randomly select 1 number at a time and display. (Case 1)

And Sequentially select from the top (FIFO). (Case 2)

My difficulty is importing the data, is there a "how to" or anything similar that you can point me to?

Thanks again.

The csv format of this csv plugin is -

You might need to list your csv format, it might not be suitable for this csv plugin.

I could make another plugin to parse csv string then save into array object for your requirement.

Hi,

You are being too kind. Thanks a lot.

I will clarify what i am working with,

I want to extract a list of data (numbers) from an external file, xxxx.csv is fine as well.

After importing the data from the csv, i will manipulate the data to suit the needs of the game.

I hope you can understand

Hi there Rex, can you tell me what i'm doing wrong here?

Here

When i add the extra piece in the CSV pre created it works, but when i add it in the one i made.. It does not add.

Rodnix

Oh, i got it to work... You have to add the object text inside the layout... i guess thats a basic error. Thanks for all the help Rex

Hi rexrainbow , is there a way to delete a whole row according to a value in a columm... I mean something like this:

if columm WARRIOR has a value "5", delete that row... and if there are several "5" values, delete all those rows?

thanks

Update

Add "condition: data in col", "condition: data in row" to check if data in a col or a row.

Sample capx

You could use "condition:for each row" or "condition:for each col" to go through cols or rows, then use "condition: data in col", "condition: data in row" to check if data is in the col or row. Finally, using "action:remove a col" or "action:remove a row" to remove matched col or row.

thanks very much, I'll try it

Hey, THanks 4 the plugin. I don't understand one thing - does it loads the table from the csv file or not?
