0.9.90 Pro Webinar Discussion: Introducing Tables & In-App Purchase
Hello Pro members!
The Pro member webinar is starting momentarily online in GoToWebinar. We are excited to work with you guys directly and provide a detailed look at our new 0.9.90 release features: tables and in app purchase.
Again, we would like to take this moment to apologize to those unable to join us today due to the 100 person limit. This being our first webinar, we were not sure of user reaction and we have been truly overwhelmed by the response and demand for this webinar.
We are currently exploring options to offer more webinars on this subject very soon, expanding our future webinar attendee limit, and also delivery methods for archive video of todays's webinar.
Feel free to use this thread to discuss the webinar afterwards. And again, we look forward to seeing you online (or on the forums) today!

I apologize for the inconvenience. Please try to log in again - I just checked through our system and you're email address is not currently logged in. If you continue to have issues getting in, please let me know. Thanks.
I have one question: Is it possible to buy for example 1 bag of coins and 1 sword in one purchase.
I believe the question was asked but not really answered well.

We did record today's webinar and we will aim to make it available in the next few days. Again, sorry for the technical issues. We'll try to iron all these out as we continue to do more Professional webinars. Thanks.

Nothing that wasn't already on Tshirtbooth videos so if you missed it just watch the videos on gshelper.com and you're good to go.
Q/A:
1. Will there ever be IAPs subscriptions?
Wait and see but probably we won't see it very soon. Probably never. But it can be mimicked using the iOS clock and the actual IAPs. But there's no telling if Apple will approve it.
2. About the Product ID for IAPs. It is as with leader boards were is better to use something like com.gamename/companyname.IAPname ? Will there be problems with other devs using the same Product ID as mine?
There probably won't be problems with multiple devs having the same Product IDs
3. IAPs in adhoc?
Yes. Best way is to create a test account in iTC.
4. Pop Up will appear?
There is a notification if errors occur (like network problems).
5. IAP can change multiple attributes?
No. And it's not even recommended.
6. Is there a limit on how many IAPs we can implement?
Apparently not but it's better to check with Apple.
7. Is there a limit with Rows and Columns?
1000 each. But there's a cheat on gshelper.com
8. Is random really random?
Apparently yes. Some trouble to demonstrate
Unanswered questions from me:
1. When images are not used anymore in runtime will the relative RAM be flushed away or will it adds up until crash?
2. The new table feature is great. One of the main use for it is to store texts. Why didn't you also take some time to fix the Display text behavior? As it is now it looks bad even on non retina devices.
3. The random weapon example was nice. But without a way to easily save those weapons somewere it's not so useful. Do you have an estimate on when the ability to write tables during gameplay will be available?
Fun moment: The Creator crashed once during the presentation

I did screen record the session and would have offered uploading it but it didn't record sound

I have two Big Questions:
The fact that GS now has In App Purchases integrated is fantastic, but I haven't heard anything to address concerns over the fact that LodSys has been systematically suing indie developers who use IAP. Has GS entered into any kind of licensing agreement with them to alleviate this threat, or are we on our own in dealing with it? I've been waiting for IAP to monetize several of my games for a while, but, frankly, am completely unwilling to take advantage of your hard work as long as these kinds of lawsuits are still being leveled.
The second question is about Tables. Are table values runtime-modifiable? I noticed it's possible to specify a Table name as the first argument of a Change Attribute Behavior, but it only the name of the table. There doesn't seem to any ability to specify the row and column. What does it mean that it can appear as the first argument without the row and column? The idea of tables being writable is very exciting because they could basically be used as arrays (among many other uses), which would close one of the biggest feature holes in GS.
Thanks!

Then on his 1 icon actor he had change attribute that referenced the column in the table
The row is what the self.ID is set at (each icon had its own id ... 1,2,3, etc etc)
In the table they were named as the images are named when imported
So the change attribute behaviour runs, it looks up the relevant position in the table, uses its own self id to know how far to go down the table and knows what column to look at as well. When its looking at the right place it see's the value called - magic_sword and looks up that in images and changes to that.
could you make some of the project files available to download
lot crammed into that hour! and, I enjoyed it!
