Is this code correct? CharSelect.attributes.add(‘langImg’, {type: ‘asset’, assetType: ‘image’ ,array: true});
Hi @ayrin,
So, there isn’t any assetType called image, that should be texture. But still I think the array: true property seems to be broken right for asset attributes.
@will @vaios any idea why? From what I remember array: true used to work specifically for asset attributes.
I have got an error, is this line ok or deprecated? var language = this.app.assets.get(this.dbase[0]).resource;
It seems to be, what kind of error are you getting?
Can you share a bit more code on how you are preparing/loading this?
Sure @Leonidas
CharSelect.attributes.add('dbase', {type: 'asset', assetType: 'json' ,array: true});
CharSelect.attributes.add('langImg', {type: 'asset', assetType: 'texture' ,array: true});
This load the assets and the following use them
var language = this.app.assets.get(this.dbase[0]).resource;
if (this.lang==='en') {
language =this.app.assets.get(this.dbase[0]).resource;
}
if (this.lang==='it') {
language =this.app.assets.get(this.dbase[1]).resource;
}
if (this.lang==='de') {
language =this.app.assets.get(this.dbase[2]).resource;
}
and i get this.app.assets.get(…) is undefined

Did you check if the this.dbase is indeed defined and contains the assets? Not sure if array: true works right now.
Also the attribute would make sure to return the the assets, you don’t have to do this.app.assets.get() etc.
So for a single asset this will work:
CharSelect.attributes.add('dbase', {type: 'asset', assetType: 'json' });
console.log(this.dbase.resource);
By the way if you are using the Playcanvas UI/Text elements there is now native support for localization:

No, haven’t implemented the localization so far, will add it since i’m updating the game to new scripts…it will be hell.

So also for textures i can’t use an array?? 
and this is no valid anymore?
this.icons=[];
I think right now it doesn’t work using the array: true attribute property.
What you can easily do instead is select your assets in the assets panel and add a tag (e.g. language).
Then in your code you can get an array with all of them like this:
var languageAssets = this.app.assets.findByTag('language');
I solved that part now, now have another error using the language

@Leonidas i have a variable that loose the value in this code, can you understand why?
Variable is charSheetWidth (but not just that)
https://playcanvas.com/editor/code/674858?tabs=29491746,29513555,29491778
What do you mean charSheetWidth is loose? When I run your project I see these two mistakes:
a is undefined
this.entity.script.CharSelect is undefined
They are hard to debug, you have tons of code in there!
I have just this 2 errors visible (for now) so i want solve the first at line 95 in buttons.js that error is due to the variable this.charSheetWidth that is undefined but it’s set inside initialize function at line 6. I see no reason to get loose unless there is a bigger error somewhere.
Not sure about that, but I can see bigger errors elsewhere. You seem to be losing the right context when calling Playcanvas related script methods/properties.
Like this, this.app seems to be undefined in that raphael callback, it should be self.app:
In general, use console.log(this) or console.log(self) when you get errors like that to see if you are targeting the correct context.
I see, i have sected a break point at line 6, it doesn’t run that line 
It skips all the initialize code

I think i will need more time than i thought to master the new scripts…i don’t get why the initialize function is executed after the line 102 (that is executed 2 times). I guess the logic is a bit different from old scripts. sigh!!
this.entity doesn’t work anymore on new scripts?
No, it works, it’s available in all script methods, study the tutorials and how they use it:
