Please help me stop the score from incrementing!

SaveDave

This is my setup...

I'm trying to have a score that counts up in 10's and upon pressing a button, stops the score

I have a timer that starts upon pressing a button, and it is set so that

Timer, every 0.01 seconds, score+10

Then an actor that is displaying score.

I have another button that I want so that when pressed it stops the score dead.

I have done the following:

When button "score2" is touched, destroy the actor that displays score and spawn new actor in the same position

Change attribute score2 = score

New actor displays score2

Why does this not work? What am I doing wrong?

What are you trying to accomplish? I'm not quite sure what you mean above.

Sorry. I want to stop the score from continuting to count up upon pressing a button.

nulo

create a attribute "counter_on" make it a boolean.

then make
-------
RULE
if counter_on is true
timer every X seconds +10 to score
-------------

then on the button you make it change attribute "counter_on" to false when pressed

MotherHoose

perhaps:

a boolean attribute game.keepScore = 1

on your stop button
......change game.keepScore to 0 (false)

and your timer inside rule game.keepScore = 1
