Hi! I’ve made a puzzle that works great in the editor.
But when i open the html file or publish it. The puzzle stops working. No puzzle i add works?
Is there something i need to so except save the puzzle?

Hi,
Please check the browser console for possible issue printed here.

Also, it maybe a browser cache, or offline mode activated for your app.

Very strange! Perhaps there is some browser plugin doing this?

if you’re publishing it and its trying to find something at a localhost its not going work. You have to set the URL of the site you’re publishing to as your directory location.

Hi!
So the error was cause by my live server plugin. I removed that and get no errors in the console.
But still, the logic from puzzles does not work.
If i open the .html file after a saved puzzle no logic works. I cant change color of my object as i can in the puzzle editor.

That’s a very unusual situation! Please follow these steps to debug:
1. Open visual_logic.js in your favorite text editor and check that it actually contains the logic you implemented with Puzzles.
2. Check that this file is actually loaded in the Network tab of the browser console.
3. If it does, open it in the browser and compare its content with the content retrieved at step 1.

Did you export with compression? I did that yesterday, and every change I made in Puzzles after that did not apply to my project.

You might check the main HTML/JS files of your application. Perhaps you accidentally edited them or replaced by something else. It appears that the only thing that can really help in your case is recreating the app from scratch.

Appears to be the infamous compression gotcha.

The only thing i changed was the html file and added <!–- __V3D_PUZZLES__ – enable Puzzles button in the App Manager -–> otherwise the puzzle was greyed out… Tried creating a new project with same result. Tried reinstalling verge3d :/ No luck sadly

This comment should be present in the app initially. If you’re just adding support for puzzles to some custom HTML/JS app, this won’t work. Please check out how the puzzles are prepared by looking to a basic Cube app (e.g. my_awesome_app).
