  • In Chrome you can use 'Install as app' from the main menu to install it, and save projects to disk using "Download a copy". Alternatively there's the desktop download of C3.

  • You need to complain to the site owners where it is hosted. App stores like the Apple app store and Chrome web store should have official ways to complain if you look around. You'll need to provide evidence you own the copyright and the location you originally published it, and then if you've made a good case they should take it down within a couple of weeks.

  • So how much is there to his claim that Apple won't approve apps that use the C3 runtime with IAPs?

    As far as we are aware IAP works in the C3 runtime and Apple accept the apps. If there are any issues you can file an issue following all the guidelines. I'm not aware of any such issues at this time. Remember that official materials on our site, such as the manual, are the best place to go for accurate information. Unofficial sources may be inaccurate.

  • It doesn't make sense to put a trigger in a function. Triggers only run when some outside event happens, like a mouse click. Functions only run when you use a 'call function' action. There is no overlap between these. Since it's invalid, the editor disallows it.

    I think you need to just rearrange the events so you call the function in the triggered event.

    Perhaps you are confusing functions with libraries - they're two different cases. A function is a single re-usable piece of logic, and a library is a collection of functions and other pieces of logic. Right now Construct doesn't have a good equivalent for libraries, but functions work analogously to how they do in programming languages.

  • Ashley I thought the whole point of new "Load images" actions in C3 was to avoid that.

    No. "Load images" loads images that are currently unloaded. Placing an object in a layout tells Construct "this layout uses this object's images". Those are two different things.

    Is it technically possible to add an option to store images in memory permanently?

    Yes, place it on every layout.

  • Is there any way to preload images and keep them in memory even after switching to another layout?

    Yes - place them on the layout, as described.

    Sorry, in this case that type of report does not provide anything particularly useful.

  • It doesn't matter. This is the wrong approach for performance. Do whatever suits you best, and then optimise later based on actual performance measurements. Anything else is basically a waste of time.

  • iOS 12 removed the feature for security reasons. It's back in iOS 13 behind a permission prompt.

  • Try Construct 3

    I don't think so, it probably also redraws the OpenGL view on a click as well. This isn't really a useful direction to take the conversation though. The things I outlined in my first reply are the key things to make progress on this.
