  • Yes, it's quite easy. You can keep the file chooser button hidden off-screen and use the following code to trigger it: 

    Browser Execute Javascript "myFileChooser.click()"

    where myFileChooser is the ID of FileChooser object. (set this ID on the left panel)

  • roguelike2018 Please don't use Google Translate! Lots of your contributions are unusable. For example google translated "tween" as "подросток" ("teen" or "young boy"), and you didn't even bother to change it!

  • 1. Try opening script url from the browser like this: 

    http://yourserver.com/savescores.php?name=john&score=999

    Try both http and https.

    See if there are any errors on the screen or in browser console. Check if the record was added to the database.

    2. Check permissions on the file savescores.php

    3. Try connecting to the database via phpMyAdmin with the same credentials as in the php scripts, and "manually" inserting one record into the table as described here:

    construct.net/en/tutorials/creating-own-leaderboard-1032/page-2

  • I doubt the syntax has changed, the problem is most likely with something like permissions. Maybe this user doesn't have write permission for this table.

    There is another zip attached to the tutorial - php7.zip, have you tried it? It's using different functions to connect and write to the database - mysqli_connect and mysqli_query. (notice the letter "i"). Maybe they will work?

  • Use Timer behavior instead of "Every X seconds".

  • You can not modify project files from runtime. You need to read the file on the first run, change or add new books and save the data to Local Storage for example. Next time, if Local Storage item exists, get it from Local Storage instead of the project file.

    But of course, this method will only work for one user. If you want to add books for all users, you need some kind of online database.

  • Loading using Browser object: (maybe I should try convert it to NWJS

    It's already done with NWJS, where do you see any browser actions?

    NWJS.ChosenPath = If I got this right: actually telling the NWJS object to use the Chosen Path to Saved the file (that stored in the SaveStateJSON)

    ChosenPath is the chosen path to some file, nothing else. It has nothing to do with SaveStateJSON yet. Even the file itself may not exist, it's just a string containing a path, like "C:\Temp\MyFile.alon"

    And then you can write something to this path, and the file MyFile.alon will be created and contain whatever you've written into it.

  • Have you tried opening the file with Notepad? Didn't it appear strange to you that the file size is 0 bytes?

    .

    Looks like SaveStateJSON is only valid for one tick, after that it's reset. So you need to change the order of events - when button is clicked, first show "Save as" dialog, then on dialog OK save the game, on save complete write the file.

  • I can keep explaining this but you won't understand since you're a programmer and these things are obvious to you

    But you do see how ChosenPath and Path both have the word "Path" in them? It's not some sacred programming knowledge, just a very basic observation :)

    What you have on your last screenshot looks correct.

    What errors are you getting? Is the file created? If you open it with Notepad, does it contain JSON data (bunch of brackets, tags and numbers)?

  • FYI, there is raycast addon:

    construct.net/en/forum/extending-construct-2/work-in-progress-addons-30/plugin-jcwtrace-raycast-112436

    Also, in Construct 3 you can cast rays with Line of Sight behavior.

  • You are right, it's weird that with Sine or any other behavior, even when the platform is moving fast, the character stays on the ground. While with Tween it's constantly jumping/falling.

    I made a small demo project:

    dropbox.com/s/ayri8cqeglg79ek/TweenPlatformBug.c3p

    I suggest you log a bug report.
