Aha this was one of the big things I learned this year. It's nice being able to enter in the arrays in a readable format. Makes it easy to plan your arrays in google sheets and just copypasta over.
Never created them to be honest but need them for an RPG I'm working on. Will work on a concept with and without branching conversations. Here is an array example for simple conversation however ruclips.net/video/hjwic-OJ87w/видео.html
Great tutorial! 1 more Tip: RightClick anywhere on the array data to Use the button ' Transpose array rows/columns'. This is an easy way to adjust the alignment of the data when loaded in the array.
Doesn't it cause any problem for using AJAX when your game is published? I would like to use this trick for my games in playstore but i dont know if it can cause a black screen or something
Reilly it's a nice tools "Array Editor", but sometimes you need to switch the Array Editor to the regular editor mode (If I have to upload the new json from sublime or other tool). How I switch it back (disable "Array Editor" view)?
@@gamedesignwithreilly in your Pokemon like tutorial you made the moves using "Every Tic" Events for each move a different event was used which caused a lot of lag. I fixed that by using only on "Every Tic Event" and using the Array to manipulate the values (like damage, animation and stuff)
Yes. You can append the lastest score to the leaderboard and then sort the whole table by highest score. You can then just show top ten. Will make a video on this.
It's good that I already started in the best way, from the beginning I learned to create the array object in files, and then get ajax parse for the array. Gee, why don't they teach this from the beginning? The same for the dictionary.
There isnt many tutorials around construct without going out your way to find them. Leaving many misconceptions or gaps in knowledge. I'm still discovering super obivious things 3 years on
I've tried to use this with formula like "choose(1,2,3)" and it literally pulls that through as text, rather than choosing one of the numbers. Is this something that anyone knows how to fix/work around, or is this just not possible in the Ajax method?
A suggestion could make a save game system by slots using localstorage where it saves the array information and has a button to reset them, thank you very much.

Your Mom needed this video as well haha
Can we use dictionary for creating dialog? Or should we use an array like you? Show us how you create dialogues🙏🙏🙏

Arrays seems so overwhelming to me, its like my brain twitches when ever I hear that word. But this seems to make sence :)
Thank you so much I needed a way to manually pass values to an array and this method makes it more manageable
Very accurate title.. I've been doing this wrong fir years. Thank you very much
Brilliant. I'm still in a phase of prototyping where I don't need large arrays yet, but this is really helpful.
Great tutorial! 1 more Tip: RightClick anywhere on the array data to Use the button ' Transpose array rows/columns'. This is an easy way to adjust the alignment of the data when loaded in the array.
Great tip! Thanks for sharing 😊
It was a big brain move using "your" instead of "you're" in the title, so pedants like me would boost you're engagement :). Nice video.
Never even realised 🤣 will keep it for the engagement however 👍
This is a great method. Been using it for years.
I learned this from you, through the rock smacker tutorials
Thanks s lot, this was the best explanation of arrays I've seen.
well this just blow my mind

Thx for the tutorial! It helps me so much
Sorry, but I'm gonna have to be that guy and say...
*You're
Someone spotted it already 🤣 but they told me to leave it for more engagement. Sorry.
@@gamedesignwithreilly Great video btw
Ahh, you saved me from a lot of work today young man. Thanks. 👍
Awesome video! If you increased the depth, how would you tell Construct what sheet to use?
Sadly I don't think there is an easy way without making use of JavaScript.
Thank you soooo much, this has been extremely useful
Would this work for dialogue and choice selection for branching paths?
Should do, each node could be a different location if a number of different outputs, more practice is definitely required.
Great video. I now have some arrays to upgrade.
I have recently done the same. Wish I knew this during the Pokémon series
Reilly it's a nice tools "Array Editor", but sometimes you need to switch the Array Editor to the regular editor mode (If I have to upload the new json from sublime or other tool). How I switch it back (disable "Array Editor" view)?
Ohh! I've been already doing this for my Pokemon like game...
Your ahead of me then, new discovery on my end

@@RedIvation would love to see your progress at some point. Feel like I could make 100's of improvements to that tutorial
Is it possible to make a (offline) leaderboard game using arrays your way? maybe you can give an example with video? thanks!
Yes. You can append the lastest score to the leaderboard and then sort the whole table by highest score. You can then just show top ten.
Will make a video on this.
Can you also add JavaScript code to just build the array there?
Yes you can!

Try int(choose(1,2,3))
Thanks man! Keep going!
Not planning on slowing down!
sabia que existian pero me habia olvidado que con AJAX podia usarlas XDD
We all need a refresh from time to time
thank you!
This was very helpful thx.
Glad it helped

Turns out that I've been using arrays the right way then 😊 Still great info for those who haven't, nice vid!
Does this method work in construct 2?
I don't see why not. Never used construct 2 however
i don't have this option in c2 well this sucks
hoooooly shit!....... mind blown... thank you!!!!!
I only discovered this recently, we wrote my entire game to use it.
@@gamedesignwithreilly yea i never knew about it. amazing
I need a freelancer 😭
Fantastic! Thanks a lot!!!
