  Sorry, this is not a system expression, it's under "common expressions":

  It's in the documentation under System Reference -> System expressions

  The long way is to pick each instance and set text:

  TextBox var=1 : TextBox set text to "10"
  TextBox var=2 : TextBox set text to "20"
  TextBox var=3 : TextBox set text to "30"
  ...
  

  The compact way is this:

  TextBox set text to (self.var=1 ? "3" : self.var=2 ? "4.5" : self.var=3 ? "9" : self.var=4 ? "21" : "85")
  

  Another method:

  TextBox set text to tokenat(".001,750,6,1000,.23", self.var-1, ",")

  No, there is no other way to do this. In addition to "System Save" action, write information about the saved game to Local Storage. Check this demo:

  You mean you want to randomly set values 10,20,30,40,50 to five text boxes, without repeats?

  Try this:

  For Each TextBox Oredered By random(1)
  TextBox set text to (loopindex+1)*10
  

  If it doesn't need to be random, then it's even easier:

  TextBox set text to (Self.IID+1)*10

  In C3 you don't need Rex's addons, just use the official MoveTo or TileMovement behaviors.

  Ah, you need to add this behavior to Tilemap object, not to sprites.

  Thanks for the coffee!

  It may be a difficult task when character has multiple animations and you need to prioritize and delay actions based on which animation is currently playing.

  It's hard to speculate without knowing your game, but it may be a good idea to use a state machine here. Assign a state to the character when an action starts, for example, "kick". Wait for the animation to finish (or use Timer behavior to wait a certain time), then reset the state to "idle". Allow new actions to occur only when the state is "idle".

  Adavo It works fine for me with the latest C3 build.

  Is it any specific action/event of the behavior which throws this error?

  There is an expression Family.ObjectTypeName

  You can pass it to the function, and inside the function use "Create object (by name)" action.

  Adavo Make sure to download the latest version of the plugin from Eren's comment above.

  I believe array object is essentially a Javascript array, so you can estimate its memory usage:

  mattzeunert.com/2016/07/24/javascript-array-object-sizes.html

  This way at least we can show the loading progress for feedback instead of nothing.

  I actually stopped using loadingprogress expression, as it often doesn't refresh. Instead I'm showing a fake progress counter, something like this:

  Every random(1,2) seconds
  Progress set to min(100, progress+choose(0,1,2,3))
  Text set text "Loading ..." & Progress & "%"

  [removed]

  EDIT: Never mind, found "LocalStorage Set/Get Binary" actions. I don't know how I never noticed them before!

  It is possible with BinaryData plugin - you can convert the image to base64 string and save it to Local Storage. However, to restore it you will have to load the image into a sprite first, and then paste the sprite to DrawingCanvas. There may be some quality loss if window size has changed, for example. Also, if the image is large, base64 string may be really long (many megabytes)

  You need to multiply by that expression, and add a small delay before "Save image" action - because pasting a large image may take a few ticks.

  The result in my case was an image with resolution 1081x1922. Which is pretty close, but I don't know how to make it exactly 1080x1920..
