  • Hi all,

    I’m building a linear kids logic puzzle game in Construct 3.

    Each puzzle is currently its own layout (e.g. Z1-P1, Z1-P2, Z1-P3 etc). There are about 30 puzzles per game, and I’ll be building many games using the same structure.

    I’m looking for a robust, low-maintenance way to handle navigation so a Next button moves to the next puzzle, without duplicating navigation events per layout or constantly editing event sheets as puzzles increase.

    What’s the best scalable pattern for this in Construct 3?

    Thanks in advance.

  • The easiest solution is to store the puzzle number in a variable. Then, to move to the next layout use "Go to layout by name" action: 

    Add 1 to puzzleNumber
Go to layout "Z1-P"&puzzleNumber

    Alternatively, you can extract the current puzzle number from the current layout name: 

    Set puzzleNumber to int(tokenat(LayoutName, 1, "P"))
Go to layout "Z1-P"&(puzzleNumber+1)

    To avoid duplicating this logic in every layout, use a shared event sheet for all layouts, or place it in a separate sheet and include it in each layout’s event sheet.

  • Many thanks appreciate your advice & time.
