  • I made a menu for a game. When player clicks/tap on screen, a marker is created with round icons around it allowing actions. Everything works fine except when I want the menu to close when I tap marker/icon, the menu closes but a new one is instantly created at touch point.

    I guess there is something with the click action that is taken in account twice : once for closure and second for creating a new menu.

    File is here dropbox.com/s/akq2580095tlkds/Bubble%20menu.c3p

    Thanks for your help !

  • Did you set the purpose?

    There are further device specific options in your export wrapper.

    Thank you very much !!! I didn't pay attention to that. And now, it works

  • I built a webapp and when I add it to my phone's home screen, it shows the regular Construct icon.

    I decided to create custom icons. I downloaded the original icons from the c3p project, loaded them into photoshop, made my modifications and saved them back using the same name and size. I then uploaded the custom icons into my project.

    Since, the loading logo shows correctly on the loading screen but favicons fail to display on the the phone's home screen.

    Is there something I did wrong ?

  • You could have a variable with the colour value in it, change the variable at runtime, then set the text box colour based on the variable, that way you will always know what it was.

    I'm afraid it looks like the only solution. Thanks for pointing it

  • I have a text box that I change the colorvalue runtime and I later need to retrieve this color value. Sprite have colorvalue in appearance but textboxes doesn't seem to have it.

    How can I do that ?

  • I saw it was possible to send email attachment from a Construct 3 game but it needs a lot of php. I'd like to have a button on the screen that invoques the mail app of the user's phone and a variable string from my game attached to it in a .txt format.

    Is it possible to do that ?

  • Anyone can help me on this ?

  • Hello,

    I'm building not a game but a tracking device to help my dad collect his feelings about his health condition.

    It's a very simple system : when he feels a change in is health condition, he can press a button on screen to record how he feels : bad, average, good. This will help the doctor have a vast overview of his wellbeing and help adjust his medication.

    Information are send to an array but I'd like to have them sent to a google spreadsheet instead so it's easier to share with me and the doctor.

    Here's the process :

    each time a button is pressed to send information, internal array is updated and the whole array sent to a google spreadsheet so that this sheet would have the same content as the array.

    I read dop2000 tutorial here about connecting to google spread here

    construct.net/en/tutorials/sending-data-construct-23-1447

    but don't how to for example add a line to the google spread.

    My app so far is here :

  • Hi dop2000

    Thanks to your help, I managed to extend your example and added all the options that I needed. I also managed to used the original csv as it. Work is not over yet but it is all in good shape. Thanks again !

  • It is not an option unfortunately. The little display/sorting app is meant for people who have no skills to make this convertion. They are just capable of uploading their csv and click to have the info they need. I'll use this capx here to transform the csv into an proposer C3 json : https://www.construct.net/en/forum/construct-3/how-do-i-8/csv-similiar-array-json-vice-129070

  • Thank you !

    Actually I can't change the whole database structure that has more than 50000 items. Moral and Weather are two among 150 different fields...

  • Hi dop2000

    Thank you for the suggestion ! Unfortunately, the CSV plugin doesn't wourk with the latest version of Construct 3. I turned the csv into json, it may help to be more Construct3 compatible. Here is the link : https://www.dropbox.com/s/d244shnhug9yhd9/TestFile.json?dl=0

    One of my big question here, is how to populate the dropdown list with Names in a case and Dates in the other case as to trigger display as indicated.

  • I have a huge csv database that looks like this :

    It's a very simplified version but it gives a precise look of the structure.

    I need to be able to organise the results of this database in two ways :

    - display content by name

    - display content by name.

    To do that, that I'd like to scan the database for names and have access to them through a dropdown list. This would organise a name's informations by date and should look like this (grey rectangle is dropdown list):

    Also, I'd like to scan the database for dates and have access to them through a dropdown list. This would organise a given dates' informations by name and should look like this (grey rectangle is dropdown list):

    Do you have an idea on how to do that ? CSV test file is available here : https://www.dropbox.com/s/1alwud24umbt95i/TestFile.csv?dl=0

  • Thanks R0J0hound

    I'll explore this.

  • I'd like to change sprite object origin runtime. I have multiple instances of an object and at a certain point of the game, gravity is applied and I want every instance to fall with a rotation applied to a different part to every instance. Image leaves falling from a tree or pieces of paper detaching a the same time form a board where they are pinned.
