  • I have only been able to find one post about this:

    construct.net/en/forum/construct-2/how-do-i-18/twitch-tv-chat-integration-vie-110983

    In which (for some bizzare reason) the OP decided to delete all their posts because THEY determine it not to be useful, despite the fact that people ask questions I'm interested to which they respond with what I imagine is a good answer. They say they'll make a tutorial instead, but that isn't available, and the capx link is broken.

    In any case, I'm currently trying to create an app that will simply read messages of a given channel, and have the app react accordingly. At the moment, I do not need to post any messages, but I am interested in looking for ways to do the following:

    Count viewers

    Recognize when bits have been donated AND how much

    Recognize when money has been donated AND how much

    Look for key words

    Recognize who has donated anything, and written specific words

    I may eventually wish to allow the app to post on the specific channel, but at the moment I am not sure how tricky that would be, so I'm skipping it.

    I'm currently just staring blankly at the Websocket plugin :)

    The only image I've been able to find (based on that last post) is the following:

  • You're right in one regard though! Turning off preview effects has stopped this from happened. It's weird, because I certainly don't have any effects turned on.

  • Yeah, thought that might be it, but I don't use effects. Especially not one that would create such a 3D effect. I wish I could figure this out, as I may find a uses for it in the future :D

  • I just changed a few settings in my parallax settings on a different layout, then changed to a different layout to find the following in my layout editor. Note that this isn't the actual gameplay.

    I'm confused. I mean, it looks very cool, almost 3D. I'm not using any plugins that would cause anything like this. I also had a weird occasion a while back in which half my images were set to 0 opacity, and had to manually go through and correct everything.

    Anyone seen this before? I've tried quitting and restarting and nothing I do appears to fix it. Luckily it works fine in game, but this is very odd.

  • So... Nobody? :)

    As I said, it's only when trying to sign in using a guest wifi account or mobile data.

    I should point out that I have 2 separate programs working together, both made in C2. The first acts as the main host and has the main game and content. The apps I'm having problems with are web based controllers, similar to how Jack Box games work. As soon as I connect the devices to wifi, it works.

    Might there be security features blocking things that I'm unaware of?

    *edit oh sorry, didn't see your message. Turn servers?

  • I'm creating a multiplayer game that uses a pc as a host, and any other device as a peer, meaning mobile phones and laptops.

    It's usually working fine, but I had a friend come over try to access the game using their mobile on mobile data. It seemed to connect and join the room, but couldn't receive any messages from the host.

    I then suggested she use her laptop, and again she failed. I asked her what wifi she was connected to, and it turned out that she was connected to my routers guest account.

    It was I'd because it's worked fine for other people. I then connected her Wi-Fi to my main account and she was suddenly able to connect.

    I then logged out of my game and turned off my phones Wi-Fi and tried to connect using my mobile data, and that didn't work either.

    Anyone had that issue before? It only seems to happen with data and guest wifi. Yet works with normal wifi, both 2.5ghz and 5ghz.

  • Emailed you :)

    Ahh, I see. I think I'd be more comfortable buying it from a store knowing that I'd have access to any updates and the like.

    How come you aren't just offering a discount on the store?

  • Sorry, but where? On the store it's 7.99.

  • I'm interested in porting my game "Scribble" from the Wii U over to other platforms, however I'm not entirely sure how to go about it.

    The game is a lot like Pictionary in that one player draws an image on the tablet, and the drawing appears on the TV. This is very easy to do on the Wii U, as you simply position the camera in different places depending on the view requirements... however, as the PC (for example) doesn't have a dedicated touch screen controller, I'm not sure how to go about it.

    My thoughts are that I could adopt a similar approach as used by the Jackbox series, in which players are able to use their mobile devices to control the game.

    Has anyone done something similar before? I'm not sure where to start. The Jackbox games have players connect to a website with their mobile devices, and can then write or even draw on the screen and it'll appear on the main display. Would I be able to utilize the multiplayer functionality of Construct to achieve this?

    I also have Construct 3, but don't use it. Is there anything within that program which may make things easier? Scribble was made using Construct 2, so it should be easy enough to update.

    Thanks in advance.

  • I understand now. I thought telling Construct which digit of pi to produce would work, but it seems it's for mathematical equations instead.

  • I only need 1 digit of pi at a time, which is why I'm already using the mid function to get the number. If I can't get it directly from that, how would I achieve that using a text variable?
