Listen for javascript?

Hi,

I'm working on a project for a client and I have implemented google video ads to run at a certain point with the browser object executing a javascript.

I know that when the ad is over or skipped, the script calls a function 'adsCompleted()' - so my question is how would I get construct to 'hear' that and I can then un pause the game etc..

any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hey thanks for that, I had a look and it seemed to be referring to C2 in a lot of cases and calling out.

I read about making the function inside construct by the same name as the javascript call, so I did that checked when it should have triggered it - but seemingly nothing happened

I'd like to know if that's the basics of what I need to do though, just name a function inside construct thats the same as 'adsCompleted()' - or do I need to ad something else to the parameters of the function inside construct 3. Thanks again.

Oh, sorry I didn't realize this post was in C3 forum.

I think you should be able to use "c3_callFunction" to call back your C3 function.

It could be something like this:

In your JS file:
adsCompleted = function() { 
        c3_callFunction("myAdsCompleted");
}

In the event sheet:
Function "myAdsCompleted" -> Set variable gamePaused=1
....
[/code:316tm13t]

See an example in this comment:

(as R0J0hound mentioned, you'll have to rename "c2_callFunction" to "c3_callFunction")

Ah great thanks for clarifying there.

Just one other thing then, if I don't have access to write inside the advert launching javascript .js file, would I still be able to add that just in the index.html file as a script and it know what to do?

as in this section

adsCompleted = function() { 
        c2_callFunction("myAdsCompleted");
}[/code:15rz3lyb]

or do i need to also reference the source .js file in there somewhere too?

Sorry, I don't know.. I'm not a big specialist in JS.

Are you saying you can't modify the JS file with that adsCompleted() function?

I thought it was supposed to be user-defined function?

So I found out they are still using c2_callFunction (for legacy reasons)

but even trying c2 I see

[quote:2itvq2ce]c2_callFunction is not defined

I checked and double checked the function object is in my project, and I made a function with the same name trigger a scene change but still seeing that error

You could try the javascript addon.

You could try the javascript addon.

hmm is that the plugin SDK or something else?

Something else
