  • See the manual:

    It is not recommended to use Physics with other behaviors (Platform, 8direction, etc.)

    Check out this demo:

  • For the "Load" action it won't make sense, because the game may be loaded in a completely different layout. Any code you have after "Wait for previous action" would be ignored anyway.

  • Then you need an API access.

    You can probably try scraping prices from their website, but it will be difficult and slow and your app/ip may get banned.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

  • How often do you need to refresh the prices in your app? Every day? Every hour? Or do you always need to display the most accurate real-time price from their website?

  • You can of course create/download a CSV file and import it into Construct project. But that would be a manual job.

  • You'll need to look for a specific bit of information (card price) in a large html, it can be challenging.

  • Do they have an API? If not, scraping the prices from the website may be quite difficult.

    Looks like they have, but not accepting new users:

  • Just make your own slidebar, it's pretty easy.

  • Try this:

    Sprite: Load image from "https://corsproxy.io/?url=https://samplelib.com/lib/preview/png/sample-bumblebee-400x300.png" (Resize to image size, cross-origin anonymous)

    Note that the TCG website may have policies that prevent downloading their content directly. You may need to use a CORS proxy, as in my example. The best solution is to avoid loading cards from an external server altogether - keep them in your project or host them on your own server.

  • I believe both Save and Load actions are async. You need to use "On Save complete" and "On Load complete" triggers to perform additional actions. For example:

     ---> Load game from "Menu"
    
    On Load complete
     ---> Call LoadGame function
    
  • Setting the fullscreen quality to High fixes it for me.

  • Can you share a sample project file?
