how do I move a Array from a layout to another

Hi!

Here's my problem.

I have a array in layout2.

My game starts with layout1.

So I can't access or change data in my array in layout2.

My Array is Global, but I guess that if it wasn't loaded at least once, I can't access it. anyway, it doesn't work.

I'd like to do that, be able to access and change the data in my array.

So I thought that I need to move the Array to layout1, but... how do I do that ??

Thanks

you cant right now, dont know if that will change

my solution was making a new array on layout one, replace all the actions with the new arrayobject

the problem next is that you need to always launch from layout 1,

therefore i used in layout2 > system compare if array.count=0 gotolayout 1

and on layout1 you have a redirect to layout 2 or a button that connects to the other layouts

But i have too many actions...

That's something missing also in Construct, if I may...

The "replace" fonction.

to replace an object by another in the Event sheets...

That would be great!

There's a solution.

Your main problem is that you put your Array in a layout that appear after the first layout that have to USE this array.

Basically, you want to move the array to the other layout.

1/ Save as Project in projectfolder (name it as you see fit)

2/ Go to projectfolder/Layouts/

3/ Open the xml file of layout where your array is

4/ Locate it in the xml gibberish it should look like :

<instance type="Array">
    <properties>
        <width>10</width>
        <height>10</height>
        <depth>10</depth>
    </properties>
</instance>

<nonworld-instances/>

<nonworld-instances></nonworld-instances>

<nonworld-instances>
    <instance type="Array">
        <properties>
            <width>10</width>
            <height>10</height>
            <depth>10</depth>
        </properties>
    </instance>
</nonworld-instances>

wow nice tip, gonna look into that

Yep ! Thx, I'll try this!

thx a lot!

It worked !

Thx a lot !

The next build (r70) always creates global arrays on the start of the project rather than leaving it until you visit its layout. Hopefully that will also fix it.

I've seen that !

It's great

Please please fix this bug. It is really trying and even with the hack fix of modifying the XML, it is still very tedious.
