    Thank you for confirming. I was also having this same bug in BB 2.3.7 when making the game points collected instead of distance. Btw how bout the review pop up issue. Could you make it work?

    @Ivan Perfetti Hi I just found out that when I export my game as android and open it up in Android Studio it gives an error and saying the following. Do you know why this happens?

    Error:The module 'app' is an Android project without build variants, and cannot be built.
    Please fix the module's configuration in the build.gradle file and sync the project again.

    Thanx

    Hi @volcank, i'm sorry, this never happened to me but might be related to Android Studio itself, rather than to Buildbox.
    Personally I've been using Android Studio 3.3.2 and recently 3.4, the latest one, with Buildbox build 3049 and never had this problem.
    The problem might be cache related or depending on other factors, try checking this post on Stackoverflow, there are various solutions to this kind of problem:

    Hmm yes @Ivan Perfetti that might be it cause I haven't updated Android Studio since like maybe 1 year. But I tried yesterday with BB2d games it didn'T give any error. Still will see and update. Thank you!

    There is no function to get Scene Name, which is crucial for my requirement.

    Available Scene Functions:
    constructor
    find
    characters
    setSpeed
    speed
    clone
    create
    rayCast
    camera
    addLevel
    purgeLevel
    addChild
    pushNavigation
    addScorePoint
    setScorePoint
    addScoreCoin
    decreaseCurrentPoints
    decreaseTotalPoints
    decreaseCoins
    currentPoints
    bestPoints
    totalPoints
    currentGlobalPoints
    bestGlobalPoints
    totalGlobalPoints
    coins
    screenToWorld
    worldToScreen
    path
    setShadowsEnabled
    restart
    setGravity
    setBackgroundColor

    +1 for scene name. In fact getting names of any object and a find for any object.

    @NikRudenko Hi Nik,
    @PunkPuffin found and mentioned in his thread and then me too confirmed that Scene API is not included scene properties like
    scene name,
    find scene's objects etc.

    It's behaving like World API, the name should be World instead of Scene. I too don't know why this basic API named as Scene.


    The only workaround I can suggest is getting Scene Name through Entity.

    let sceneName = this.entity().sceneName();

    Additionally
    let scene = this.entity().scene();


    let scenes = this.scene().scenes(); // It should be this.world().scenes(); but no choice for now.

    Another critical issue, when game is crashed for some reason(Even though I tried to be careful in code). The entire session is lost. It’s giving frustration to the user.

    I have noticed that the Game status saved including Settings data on Game minimised and on Game Closed normally.

    I suggest to save the game state on showing any UI.

    So that user will play from the stage, where he left during crashing.

    Oh, there is a method addLevel which treating every Scene in the editor as Level .
    this.scene().addLevel('Level 1');

    We can get Level Name by

    this.entity().levelName();




    Ideally API need to be

    Level - Every level in the editor (We assumed it as Scene)
    Scene - Currently loaded objects
    World - It's Global Properties.


    API
    Scene - World+Scene (It's there already. Ideally these need to be separated. But nvm)
    Level -

    //Level properties and the same moved to the UI for Code Less environment.
    let
    levels = this.scene().levels();
    let level = this.level(); this.entity().level();
    let levelName = level.name();
    let levelObjects = level.find('Sphere');
    etc..
    let
    entityName = this.entity().name();

    Feature Request: multiple-select the nodes so that we can copy and paste all at the same time when needed for other objects. Instead of selecting them one by one. :) Always try to make life easier and lazier, I guess that's human nature :p

    On UI, Scale Animating is not working when recording an animation on IDLE state. It's off when trying to enter each value for scaling animation. When hit the last frame, the values are off by itself. So this has to be fixed in order to animate menus in BB3 properly. :)

    BB3 game crashing in iOS randomly and it's not saving the levels & Settings Data.
    Both are Critical Issues.
    Which will give a bad name to already released games in BB3.
    And also games in testing with publishers like Voodoo.
