  • I have a demo project just like that. There are two levels and different items are sold in the shop on these levels.

    dropbox.com/s/0ex32akdcl7s2ie/ArcherMan3.capx

    You will need to install CSV addon to open it:

    github.com/erenertugrul/construct-plugins/blob/master/ported_plugins/plugins/rex_csv/dist/rex_csv.c3addon

    construct.net/en/forum/extending-construct-2/addons-29/plugin-csv-csv2array-csv2dicti-41868

  • Sounds like the order of events may be wrong in your project. For example, you are trying to access AJAX.LastData before "AJAX On completed" is triggered, or you are writing and reading to/from local storage at the same time, or something similar. You need to post your project or screenshots of the relevant event sheets.

  • If you don't want to preview from the intro/loader layout, as a temporary solution you can create a function "InitializeVars" and add it to "On created" events. (probably not all, just the ones that get triggered first). Remove this function call before exporting the game.

  • Open "8 directional behavior" template and add these two actions:

  • Level unlocking:

    construct.net/en/tutorials/level-selector-995

    To add a life every hour you can check system time:

    Set currentTime variable to Browser.ExecJS("Math.floor(Date.now()/1000);")

    This will give you current unix time in seconds. Divide it by 3600 to get the number of hours. Check if an hour or more has passed since you last awarded a life.

    In Construct 3 you can use unixtime expression instead of Browser.ExecJS

    .

    You can also try downloading big complete game templates (free or commercial) that have these mechanics from Scirra store.

  • If you link one array instance with one family instance, it doesn't really matter where you define the 'ChildUID' variable.

    It only makes difference when you need to link one-to-many.

  • It's easy to do with Tween behavior.

    dropbox.com/s/jgagd4v8a9e0e8j/HueTween.c3p

  • It will not be possible to store each piece in a separate layout. Here is what I usually do when I need to randomly generate a level from pre-made scenes:

    I put all scenes on the layout, somewhere outside of visible area. Scenes (yellow rectangles on the screenshot) have 'type' instance variable defined with values like 'easy', 'medium', 'hard'. This allows to build levels of different difficulties, and mix and match them, for example 5 medium scenes + 3 hard.

    All objects on the scenes are added to one or two big families, in this case "Entities" for sprites and "Obstacles_TB" for tiled backgrounds.

  • No, you should not use "Wait" when programming such things. Use Timer behavior instead. 

    On start of the layout 
 : Enemy Start Timer "change_direction" for 0.5s recurring

Enemy on Timer "change_direction"
 : Enemy set variable direction to choose("left", "right")

Enemy direction="left" 
 : Enemy simulate moving left

Enemy direction="right" 
 : Enemy simulate moving right

    You can randomize their movement if you restart the timer in "On timer" event for random number of seconds, for example random(0.5, 1.5)

  • Not attach, but you can link array instance by UID to each family member.

    Family on created -> Create new Array, Family Set ArrayUID to Array.UID
