2 years ago The reason for this is 0Sprite is not a valid JavaScript identifier, so it's not possible to refer to it as a dot property (runtime.objects.0Sprite is invalid syntax). It can only be referred to as a string property, e.g. runtime.objects["0Sprite"], and the minifier does not change string properties, so it follows that the name "0Sprite" will not be changed. I can see how that might not be immediately obvious though, so I added a note under "Object and variable names from Construct" explaining that.
Problem description
I noticed that if the object name starts with a number, then it will not be obfuscated after advanced minification. Then we can use quotes and use advanced minification:
runtime.objects["0Sprite"]Attach a .c3p
project: advanced_minification_properties_documentation.zip
export with advanced minification: New project.zip
Steps to reproduce
Observed result
I was able to get an object named
0Sprite, but not one namedSprite0.Expected result
I didn't find any mention of this in the documentation. I think it would be nice to add it there. We don't have a way to use string object names and advanced minification anymore, do we?
