  • That's because it doesn't make sense to put a trigger in a loop. You need to structure the events differently.

  • It's not clear that enums are the same thing - I imagined those would be set up in the editor, whereas an autocomplete for similar strings would be derived from other existing events.

  • The "project saved with future release of C3" message appears if you do something like save a project in r150 and then try to open it in r148. That's normal.

    If you get a different error opening your project in the latest release then you can email it to ashleyabr@scirra.com and I'll see if it can be recovered. However I must warn you:

    - it's not always possible (it might be unrecoverable)

    - you should keep regular backups anyway

    - if a Construct bug caused a project corruption, we cannot fix the problem that did this (so it might happen again) unless we have a full bug report, including steps to reproduce etc.

  • Well the parameters dialog doesn't use datalists and this is quite a lot more complicated than the simple autocomplete elements you previously highlighted, so I doubt this would be quick to do. The feature suggestion platform is there as always.

  • You want autocomplete for parameter strings? What for?

    The category field uses a datalist, but the expression field uses contenteditable, and I'm not sure if that supports datalist. If it doesn't it makes it harder to support.

  • The description is just a plain text input element. If the browser autocompletes that for you, it's the browser doing that and isn't something done by Construct. Note we use a datalist on the category field to suggest other categories already used; again that's just plain HTML stuff.

  • By putting a 0.1 second wait before the local storage gets the key , it worked .

    You shouldn't do that, because it will still break if 'Set item' takes longer than 0.1 seconds. You need to use the 'On item set' trigger instead.

  • Oh, you're actually using Construct 2. You posted in the C3 forum. Moving post to C2 forum.

  • 'Set item' doesn't finish until 'On item set' triggers. If you 'Set item' then 'Get item' without waiting for the set to finish, it will likely get the existing value of the item before 'Set item' is done.

    The new 'Wait for previous actions to complete' system action makes this a lot easier in the latest release - all you need is 'Set item', 'Wait', 'Get item', 'Wait'.

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • If you already have duplicated 'On key pressed' events in layout-specific event sheets, you may as well just call the right function directly, instead of calling a common function that then has to work out which function to call.

  • Can you post the full phone model name? "Huawei" is a manufacturer, not a device.

  • What device model is it and what version of Android is it running? This should have been fixed in Chrome 74. I'd guess you're somehow still on an older version of Chrome. Android 5-6 use a separate app for the webview, the Android System Webview, and that must be updated separately to Chrome, so having Chrome 74 doesn't mean it's definitely up-to-date.
