My plugin caches some data that allows it to easily maintain information between application runs. The default is for it to be off, but it can be switched on. I saw when I looked at the code that you were using localforage, but I didn't know if I could count on it being there if I wasn't actually using the locaol storage plugin. So I wrote my own access layer to indexdb using promises, which my plugin currently uses.

Just thought it was an idea, but I can understand your points.

I would like to put out there that maybe adding an interface to the local storage plugin in the sdk would be useful. In one of my plugins I currently rolled my own interface to IndexDB, which I know you use for local storage. I think it would simply plugin in development if we are able to use your well used and tested interface to local storage instead of handling it ourselves. Just a thought.

I also wanted to add that I really appreciate all the work you and your team does and I totally enjoy developing my game and plugins for construct 3.

Sure, no problem

I am seeing an error in the browser when trying to go into the forum.

The real reason I am writing this is to let you know how much information is being displayed when an error occurs.

Critical error

This should not of happened. Please contact support.

One last thing I'll throw out. I can't tell from the screen shots you included if this event sheet is the main one or an included one. If it's not the main one, are you sure you included it ?

Other than that I'm at a loss without being able to see the project.

Just to show you an example of using timers successfully in my project. Maybe it'll spark an idea for you.

Without being to play around with it I don't have much I can suggest.

The only thing I can add is try again with the timers, they do work. I wonder if the issue is that you're setting the state while it's running. Try commenting out the is running event and enable the other 2 and set the state to sleep on layout start. Then time should fire and set the state to awake. Now if something else causes the state to switch back to sleep that's another story.

If you want me to look at your actual project, I could give you my email so you aren't sharing your project with everyone. Just let me know.

Are you interacting with the wake up timer in any other spots in the event sheet ?

I also wanted to point out that if your expecting that timer to happen more than once it won't. The value of 8 is only being set once on the start of the layout.

I can try to look at it a little more, but without the context of the rest of event sheet, it's a little tough.
