When the scene is reseted, you sure you don't get into an infinite loop of resetting scene? Check your behaviours..

Let me explain better

When the game starts it plays an animation until u tap on the screen then it changes to the menu scene and I'm trying to get it to go back to the init scene after 20 seconds without pressing a menu option
Everything works fine it counts the 20 seconds checks for any touches resets countdown if there is a touch and only performs this on the menu screen if you select options from the menu it changes the menu to the options and stops countdown and resets countdown when you go back to the menu but once the countdown reaches 20 seconds it locks up

Well got to start over on that feature electric just went out *stupid electric company*
I'll try to get a video showing problem

jstrahan

ok heres the video showing problem
when it reaches 21 seconds it changes the reset game attribute to 1 which activates rule to reset game action
sorry theres no sound cant get mic to work when i plug it in or unplug it it shows on the mic meter but nothing while its pluged in

Have you use otherwise in the rule?

If I'm understanding what you want to happen correctly, I'd use a different attribute to keep track of the time.

Have a time count up to 20 on your main menu.

When it reaches 20, have an attribute called 'startagain' - it should be a boolean.

On your main menu, have a rule somewhere that says 'When startagain = true' go to scene 'init'.

On your init screen, have a rule somewhere that says 'change attribute startagain to false'

Hopefully that'll work - let us know how you get on!

all of these attributes or scene attributes
attributes involved:
menu display 0 = menu shown in video
start time real #
check time real #
reset game switch to reset game
first rule
if menu display=0
set start time = game.time
constrain check time = game.time-start time
second rule
if touch pressed reset start time = game.time this reset the countdown if u touch screen
third rule
if game reset = 1 ive tried (reset game action and change scene action)
fourth rule
if check time>20 set game reset to 1

jstrahan

if i use the reset game action shouldnt that start game over as if i had just started it and reset all attributes

victorkin11

Not sure what the problem, but

don't use constrain check time = game.time-start time

you should use

if game.time>(start time+20) set game reset to 1

victorkin11

also reset game won't reset your attribute!

ok i made changes

have invisible actor over screen with
only three rules and three attributes

scene attributes:
start time real #
reset game Boolean
menu display int

first rule
if menu display=0 or actor pressed
change start time to game.time

this resets countdown if screen is touched or when menu shown in video is displayed

second rule
if reset game = true
ive tried
(reset game action)
(change scene to init scene)
(change scene to quit scene)

third rule
if game.time>start time+20
change reset game to true

still game counts to 20 changes reset game to true and locks up

jstrahan

ok good to know reset game dosent reset attributes but it wont change scenes either when the reset game condition is true

jstrahan

alright i give up going another direction done spent way too time trying to do this im just go to make a switch that will turn alpha on and off on this actor which will cover everything except man and title then have my man sit down and tap his foot or something

jstrahan

this works alot better anyway thanks for all the help
