    Hi,
    I learned how to make a simple game Tiny, and now I'd like to make an async REST call to get some JSON data from a server like ajax call and after getting data to load a level. How to properly do it please?

    It just come to mind to do something like this:
    1. make an Entity and have the URL on it
    2. filter it in a behavior, and OnEnable make the URL call
    3. in OnUpdate look for completed call and close (disable), while loading the level that needs the JSON data

    Any example please?

    Hello,
    Here it is
    // Sending Request to get the Data in JSON format
    loadAsync(url: string, callback: (error?: any, jsonResponse?: any) => void): void {
    var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
    xhr.open('GET', url, true);
    xhr.responseType = 'json';
    xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
    xhr.onload = function () {
    var status = xhr.status;
    if (status == 200) callback(null, xhr.response);
    else callback(status);
    };
    xhr.send();
    }

    //calling loadAsync
    loadAsync("URL",(error, data) => {
    if (error) return;
    else{ console.log(data); }
    });

    Hello ,
    Sure, i will help you out by writing code .
    Before moving on, please clear few points-
    In the first scene, you want to get 10 numbers from the server so my question is all 10 numbers will be returned in json format in single request?
