  • There are clear warnings in the documentation: undocumented internal details should not be relied upon and won't be supported. Don't do that! It causes appalling compatibility problems. Find another way to design it.

    • Post link icon

    It should work, as Construct still supports Android 5.1. It's difficult to say any more without more information. To find out more about what's going wrong you'd need to check for errors in the console (which with an APK will mean setting up USB debugging).

  • Moved to C2 forum as that looks like errors in C2.

    I think this error means there is a bug in the Photon plugin. You'll probably need to contact the plugin developer about it.

  • I think some browsers will not allow permission unless you request permission in a user input event.

    It might be easier to do this in an event sheet with Construct's Touch object - it has an action to request permission for accelerometer.

  • I thought about it but it seems trivial to implement in JS, either by the built-in timers (e.g. setTimeout) or by adding dt to a counter every tick, which is basically what the Timer behavior does. Using a script interface is arguably more complicated than just coding it yourself, so I decided against implementing it at first. Can you explain what you need it for? Are you trying to integrate with timers set by events or were you thinking it would save on coding?

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • I think you might have to use an all-lowercase filename for it to work. Coincidentally the next beta release will have a new mode to avoid these kinds of case sensitivity issues.

  • It's not supported. Construct 2 was developed before Construct 3 and doesn't understand its file format. Further, C3 now has loads of features that aren't supported in C2 so many projects would not be importable anyway.

  • Browsers don't provide this information as it would expose personal information to websites, which would be a serious privacy violation (and may in fact be illegal these days...)

  • That screenshot shows that the browser crashed with STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION. That's not Construct crashing, it's the browser, and so it's probably a problem the browser maker needs to fix, or possibly a system stability issue. Try installing any available software updates for your system or try a different browser.

  • If you are not already familiar with running servers, I would strongly advise you just use the official one.

  • It's not been removed. It's only supported in Chrome and Edge though. If you use a different browser it won't be available.

  • it simply produces a black screen and the layout goes blank with a little broken image icon.

    That sounds like a graphics driver crash that takes out the WebGL canvas. There might be more details if you press F12 and check the browser console.

    I'd guess either you're using too much memory and it's overloading the graphics hardware, or the graphics driver is crashing. If it's a graphics driver crash that is unfortunately difficult to deal with; your best bet is to install any available system software updates and hope that a fix comes through.
