Hey devs!

I'm currently working on a chatbox system and wanted to hear your approaches or best practices.

Here’s what I’m trying to achieve:

Scrollable History – Players should be able to scroll through older messages smoothly (using either touch drag).

Dynamic Expansion – When new messages arrive, the system should smoothly scroll down (if the user is already at the bottom), and increase the total height accordingly.

Optional Manual Scroll – If a player scrolls up manually, I want the system not to auto-scroll until they scroll back down again.

I’ve tried pinning messages, using LayerScrollY for fake scrolling, and adjusting position based on scroll offset. It's… messy

So I’m curious:

How would you implement something like this?

Any tips on managing performance for large message lists?

Should I rely on layering, containers, or a mask-style system?

Would love to see screenshots, event sheet logic, or even just general advice!

Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone! I am using the PlayFab Master Collection plugin and trying to use Photon Chat. Although I have gone through the documentation and sample projects, I still can't get it to work.

Currently, I want to create a Global Chat Channel that everyone can see. When a user sends a message, it should be displayed in the chat channel. The chat channel should store a history of up to 10 messages.

If you have successfully implemented something similar, please help me! I would really appreciate it ~

For the RUN part, I want to set it so that when the character moves for more than 3 seconds, the walk animation is triggered and the movement speed increases.

I have a Construct 3 project with a 2D character that includes Idle, Walk, and Run animations for 4 directions (Up, Down, Left, Right). I want to create a joystick for controlling on the touchscreen. The joystick should only appear when the player touches the left side of the screen. Please help me, as I have read many tutorials but still haven’t succeeded.

For the Walk part, I want to set it so that when the character moves for more than 3 seconds, the walk animation is triggered and the movement speed increases.

Thank you !
