  • 1) Function.Param(0) applies to "dialogue" function. If you call this function with the parameter "John", then the "name" key in the dictionary will be set to "John".

    2) This variable is used to store XML XPath. "&ProjectVariables.Get("name")&"']/@ means add a value from the dictionary to the string. So the result will look like this: 

    /Dialogues/Dialogue[@id='John']/@

    3) It uses Regex to search for something and extract some sub-strings. You can use any of the online regex parsers to try to decipher what's going on there.

    I must say, this tutorial seems unnecessary complicated to me. You can study it, but maybe it would be better to build your own dialogue system.

  • Check out the official Date template. It shows how to calculate the difference between two dates (it's in milliseconds), and display it in readable format.

    Not sure what you mean, the title doesn't say much. Effects can be applied to objects or layers. So you can either re-use the same objects on multiple layouts, or create global layers.

  • I don't, because you didn't post your project file.

    You need to run your game in debug mode and check what objects or events are affecting the FPS.

  • You need to move the condition from sub-event to event #60. "While" and the condition should be in the same event.

    I also suggest always adding this "emergency" exit condition to While loops, to prevent infinite loops: loopindex<1000

  • If it's an unzipped project file (with .caproj file), you can open it in Construct.

    If this is an exported game (with .js and .html files), there is nothing you can do.

  • Press F12 in Construct window and check error messages in Console log when you are trying to open the project.

    Also is there a way I can attach a file.

    You can upload it to Dropbox, Google Drive etc. and post download link here.

  • If I understood your question correctly, you can use SnapX and SnapY expressions. For example: 

    Sprite is dragging:
Sprite set position to Tilemap.SnapX(Sprite.X), Tilemap.SnapX(Sprite.X)

    You can also add clamp to limit the movement to tilemap area:

    Tilemap.SnapX(clamp(Sprite.X, Tilemap.BBoxLeft, Tilemap.BBoxRight))

    Tilemap.SnapY(clamp(Sprite.Y, Tilemap.BBoxTop, Tilemap.BBoxBottom))

  • I don't think it's possible. You can make your own text input.
