  • It's possible, but Construct is not the best tool for this job. You need to read the spreadsheet data into an array, then loop through the array to find records for a particular client, and then display them somehow - feed to a textbox or list.

    You can do the same much easier directly in Excel, in literally a few clicks. If you need to edit/review data using forms and reports, I suggest Microsoft Access.

  • I opened "Chat room" template in C2 just now and it works perfectly fine.

  • Wow, this almost scares me. How easy is it?

    If you open the capx attached to the tutorial, you'll see that "Split screen" group has only 6 events.

    If you paste complete layers onto the canvas, instead of individual objects, the code will be even shorter.

  • Why do you need a character 1920x1080 pixels in size? This is insane. Please read this article:

  • Ashley I don't want to create a new post for this simple request, but could you also change the way Escape button works when editing scripts in event sheets?

    Now, with autocomplete I often find myself pressing Esc button to close an unwanted drop-down list (as it's done in many other IDEs). And instead this exits the script editor and undoes all edits! You can add many lines of code, then press Ecs and it will all be lost in an instant.

    Could you change it so that pressing Esc first time closes any drop-down lists, pressing it second time exits the script editor, but preserving all changes?

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • Use anchor only for the white sprite, remove anchor from the red sprite. Pin red sprite to the white sprite on start of the layout. And of course set the origin image point on the red sprite at the right edge.

  • Search the tutorials section, there are lots of good (and bad) examples.

    It all greatly depends on your game, but you can use something like this as a starting point:

  • Examples you posted are for HTML DOM objects, they will not work for Text in Construct.

    You need to change horizontalAlign property, as described here:

    construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/scripting/scripting-reference/plugin-interfaces/text

    This works for me, but you need to run it in the latest beta version: 

    const textObject = runtime.objects.Text;
const textInstance = textObject.getFirstPickedInstance();

textInstance.horizontalAlign="center";

    I'm new to scripting, so if anyone knows how to optimize this code, please tell.

  • Well, I can only tell that event #5 and function "Bee_Enter" should definitely work and set instance variables on the Bee correctly. FireRate should be 0.1 and Duration=3. Maybe there are some other events which you didn't show on screenshots that change these variables.

  • I am not familiar with the addon you are using for action sequence, but I'm pretty sure the problem is somewhere with that addon and not with function parameters.

    Run your game in debug mode, check Bee instance and I bet you it will have correct values in FireRate and Duration instance variables.

  • Ashley What about the keyboard shortcuts? Chrome intercepts many shortcuts, for example Ctrl-F4 (debug mode) or Ctrl-W (close event sheet/layout) will close the entire Construct window. This is extremely annoying and is one of the main reasons I prefer Desktop build..

    Also, will there be an option to set preview browser to NWJS (to be able to run and test NWjs plugin-specific events)?
