Uncheck Checkbox

Hi All,

I'm fairly new to Construct 2, and its great.

I'm struggling with checking and unchecking checkboxes.

I trying to create a settings page.

As soon as you check the checkbox, a global variable changes from "inactive" to "active". Later I want to use this global variable.

So my goal is:

Check checkbox -> set global variable

Uncheck checkbox - > set global variable

I've uploaded what I have so far:

Thanks in advance.

P.S. This forum needs attachment support so that uploaded files are accessible for ever <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Like this?

<img src="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8367729/construct/pics/toggleCheckbox.PNG" border="0" />

That was to easy <img src="smileys/smiley9.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Thanks!

Hi! This topic seems to be answered, however the answer is no longer appearing. My take on the issue is this. I should state I have many checkboxes and this is the way i find which one was checked.

/*

on checkBoxFunction

for each checkbox, set local variable localcheck to true

if localcheck is true

pick instance with uuid Function.Param(0), then set myTextBox text to "Checkbox with UID "&checkbox.UID &" was checked";

*/

checkbox Is checked call("checkboxFunction") with the parameter checkbox.UID

If someone has a better solution please provide it here

You have pointlessly necro-posted in a thread that is over 4 years old.

The software has moved on considerably since then, as has the original poster, who hasn't been on this forum for 4 years.
