  • I'm looking to purchase one of the inventory assets in the Construct store however some of the assets haven't been updated in 3+ years. Before purchasing one of these, I wanted to know if the developer is still supporting this asset, if they are still around to ask them questions and whether the asset will work with the newer versions of Construct.

    So that I don't end up getting a $15 asset that is unusable, how do I contact the developer? I see that there is a refund policy but I'd like to avoid having to go that route to begin with.

    Thanks in advance.

    *Looks like if you try their asset out in the Arcade, there is a commenting system at the bottom where questions can be asked. One of the developers already replied.*

  • Not sure what you do when you aren't fighting crime but that was exactly what I was looking for!!! Thank you very much.

  • Hey there, C3.

    I have a sprite (basket.id= 0,1,2) with an instance variable (.apples) that ranges in value. What I am trying to do is, when I click on a different sprite (sort), the basket with the most apples goes to spawn_point (.id=0), the second highest goes to (spawn_point.id=1) and the lowest to (spawn_point.id=2).

    I can't seem to get the coding/steps right on this. Any suggestions? I just thought of using pick highest to grab the highest value, pick lowest to move the lowest and the remaining sprite would be what's in the middle. However I'm not sure how to code that.

    Here is the most recent version I was testing:

    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

  • I think I figured it out. New terminology, old dog.

    The "return type" threw me off and I couldn't make heads/tails of where my function was listed. Thank you for explaining that as I would have driven myself nuts trying to make sense of it.

  • Oooooohhhh..... Wow. Thank you.

    So I feel like I'm in a dif dimension here.

    The function should calculate several numbers with the result setting a global value with a string.

    I've done this for several years and don't remember struggling with this so much.

    If I want the script to set the global value, how do I need to set it?

  • hey C3. I agree it's a pretty simple (dumb) question but my old school brain has a pattern of Add Action > Functions > pick from list of functions.

    Now I see three options I'm unfamiliar with and a brief search didn't provide much insight.

    Does anyone have an article or explanation on what these three options mean and which one I should use if I just want the function to execute when the condition is met?

    Thanks in advance and apologies on the question.

  • Thanks oosyrag. Before I spent a lot of time testing with that, I wanted to make sure it was an option.

    Take care!

  • Hey C3. Instead of a number for the timer end, I've tried using a variable which hasn't seemed to provide the desired outcome. Does anyone know if a variable can be used versus a number?

    Example below shows a number however I was hoping to use an instance or global value.

  • Genius! That gives me a working model to reverse engineer and adapt to my sandbox.

    Thank you much! Link to buy you a coffee?

  • Hey there. Just opened up your example and it appears you used version 410 and I've got 407.2 so it won't open. Where did you download the newer version from?

    Found 410 (I had 407.2 installed locally so I could use it when I have to fly or camp). Diving into it now.

  • Yes, your assumptions were deadly accurate!

    Thank you so much for the file to explore further. I'm out of town until tomorrow morning and promise to dig into your example then. I appreciate your time and help with this!
