Heklow79... How did you speed up a timed actor?

SaveDave

hi heklow79 or anyone else that may know..

In checkout, how did you speed up the random food items and keep the items the same distance apart?

Thanks

Oh this is just silly!!

Is Heklow79 still here? anyone else know the answer?

thanks

He probably set the speed to a global integer, so he had an integer called speed and set it to 100 then if score > 500 speed = 120.....if score > 1000 speed = 140 and so on.

right, i get this part, but how are the actors kept the same distance apart during this?

Use the cam, and set interface and background layer is not scrollable!
or constrain all the food!

If you're talking about check out!, what I did was making the scene a little bigger (530 or so), having the scene attribute wrap x on true, and then I set enough fruits on the screen. When a fruit goes offscreen, it first check if it is visible (took 1 life) or not (when touched their alpha just goes to 0), then they change into another random fruit and if needed the alpha goes back to 1 and since the screen is wrapped, they start again. Can't remember if I used a constrain to move on the x or a move behaviour. To speed up everything at the same time, they just refer to a global attribute, as utopian said. To increase it what I did isn't "if score > 500 then.." what I did was having two attribute, one for the score and one to check when to add speed. So let's say score start at 0 and the second attribute at 25. Everytime score is equal or greater to that attribute, speed things up and add another 25 to that attribute.
So it goes on forever with just one or two rule. If you want it to stop just add another "if score is less or equal to desired max value" before doing anything.

Hi Hachiko, how did you stop the actor being re "touched" after the alpha has been set to 0?
I have tried this and even though the actor is invisible with alpha1 it still scores if it is touched....
