Buildbox 3 Api Documentation

Hey boxers,

Does anyone know if there's the newest API reference for Buildbox 3?

This seems to be an old one: http://download.buildbox.com/buildbox/assets/documentation/api-3.0.0.2250.html (from Buildbox 3.0.0, #2250). Not all functions are there. ...

@Sean Buildbox
We seem to have:
-> this.scene().totalPoints()
-> this.scene().decreaseTotalPoints(amount);

But do we have totalCoins() and decreaseTotalCoins? Something is off and I cannot make it work with Coins.

@Skyhub Games -> can this be used for the Character System you have made? I can't make it work with Coins. I have a sufficient amount of coins, but when attempt to unlock the character, it says, "No Coins." I have changed totalPoints to totalCoins and decreaseTotalPoints() to decreaseTotalCoins(), but not sure if that's in the API for Buildbox Thoughts? It works however, if I purchase a Coin Pack and attempt to unlock. But cannot unlock with collected coins in the game. I feel like it unlocks with Session Coins, not with Total Coins -> maybe that's a Buildbox 3 bug?

Thanks,
Itzo

 

@itzonator You can use:

let obj = this.entity()
for(m in obj)
log(m);

This will list all functions of an object in JS
+ You can use like this.entity(), this.scene(), this.camera() and etc etc etc

If the api isn't updates. This is the best way to get knowledge if you code

 

For your question.

You can use this.scene.All things below()


addScorePoint
setScorePoint
addScoreCoin
decreaseCurrentPoints
decreaseTotalPoints
decreaseCoins
currentPoints
bestPoints
totalPoints
currentGlobalPoints
bestGlobalPoints
totalGlobalPoints
currentCoins
bestCoins
totalCoins
currentGlobalCoins
bestGlobalCoins
totalGlobalCoins
coins

This is all the points or coins function you can use for now

 

@Skyhub Games — thanks for providing those, I think you need to update your character system node as it will not unlock character if points / coins are not set to global.

In Selector system + price node, you should have it like this:

var money = this.scene().totalGlobalPoints()

not
var money = this.scene().totalPoints()

This solved the problem for me

Will do thx

 

I found this one for 3.0.0.3088. It has a few more things on, but unfortunately some of the functions are broken in BB.

Thanks for the solution @itzonator and @Skyhub Games .
Check this out @Hanomax and thanks for your help too.

 

Update :
I used var money = this.scene().totalGlobalCoins() and
this.scene().decreaseCoins(price);

and the character gets unlocked but the problem is the entire coins get deducted.Say coins to unlock character is 3 and i have 4 coins.On click total coins become 0 instead of 1 in character selection screen.Did anyone noticed? @itzonator @Skyhub Games @Hanomax
