  • You can do it in a loop. For example, if you need to check in 10 degrees intervals: 

    Repeat 36 times
 Car.MoveTo.MovingAngle within 5 degrees of (loopindex*10)
 	Car set frame to loopindex
	Stop loop

    I don't quite understand how the animation is made in your case, so you might have to set the frame to something like (36-loopindex).

  • Check out "3D castle maze" template added in the latest beta.

  • Well, you can clear browser cache and storage. I meant you can't delete save slot from events.

  • No, it's not possible.

  • Try this: 

    v1>50
OR 
v2>100 Deactivate group

Else
v1<50 Activate group

  • It works without "array" key, then the path will be just "0.3"

    But make sure there are commas between sub-arrays in JSON:

    [

    ["111","112","113","114"] , <- comma

    ["121","122","123","124"] , <- comma

    ["131","132","133","134"]]

  • Try Construct 3

  • I would not recommend using dot in the key name.

    Also, it's easier to put JSON string into a variable, then you won't have to deal with escaping all quotation marks: 

    String variable j={"key": "foo"}

On start of layout 
 JSON Parse j

    Yes, I'm doing this as part of iterating through a foreach-loop.

    You need to post your project file or at least a screenshot of the full event sheet. When you show just one or two events, it's not possible to guess what might be wrong in the rest of your code.

  • If your JSON format is this:

    {"array": [["111","112","113","114"], ["121","122","123","124"], ["131","132","133","134"]]}

    you can access each value that you need using these expressions:

    JSON.get("array.0.3") - will return 114

    JSON.get("array.1.3") - will return 124

    JSON.get("array.2.3") - will return 134

  • Have you tried oosyrag's version? It's pretty cool.

    Here is with LOS raycasting:

  • > If the events are at root level, they are executed on every tick.

    Why are they excluded?

    "Executed", not "excluded". Because that's how Construct works. All events are executed on every tick, unless they are triggers or functions.

    It's all local, so nothing is fetched remotely. All I'm doing is loading in a local JSON file that is embedded with the project.

    It still may require 1-2 ticks to be fetched, or maybe even longer on a slower machine. So you should not start checking JSON keys until it finished loading!

    Try this code: 

    JSON has key "maps.test" -> Browser Log "HAS key, "&tickcount
Else -> Browser Log "NO key, "&tickcount

    Open browser console and check the messages. You will probably see a couple of "NO key" before "HAS key" appear.

    I keep running into strange scenarios...

    JSON.CurrentKey works only inside "JSON For Each" loop. If you need to get current path outside the loop, use JSON.path expression.

  • When then I don't understand what you are struggling with. Where do you store these JSON strings after you get them from the server? What is the JSON structure?

    In pseudocode, you need do something like this: 

    Array For Each X element
 JSON Parse (string for this X)
 Array set at X=Self.CurX, Y=1 value:JSON.Get("key_for_Y1")
 Array set at X=Self.CurX, Y=2 value:JSON.Get("key_for_Y2")
 Array set at X=Self.CurX, Y=3 value:JSON.Get("key_for_Y3")

  • Where do you get these five JSON strings from? Are they stored in files, or in another array or do you request them from a server?

  • They could just permanently 'toggle disabled' the code or something, so you could at least review it and replace it below those lines

    As I understand, the reason why it's not possible in C3 is because its code editor is visual. It can not display an event or action from the missing plugin, because it doesn't know how. (this info is in the missing plugin)

    The only option is to skip all these events, actions and conditions. And there is a good chance that the project will become corrupted without them - there may be orphaned Else-blocks, missing functions, broken hierarchies etc.

    Also, I guess, Scirra developers want to avoid complaints from people whose projects became unusable because of that.

  • Sorry, it's a bit difficult to understand. If you set array height to 4, you will have 3 additional elements for each X index.

    Or are you asking about an array inside of JSON object?
