Timer In Settings Menu

Jel

Hi,

I have a HUD timer that resets the game after 60 seconds working well but what I want to do is in the settings menu at the start of the game have - easy,med,hard - settings and with each one I want the time to change in the HUD.

I would have it go straight to a scene with a different HUD but I also have a select Character in my settings menu.

Sorry if this has been posted before, I wasn't able to fine a post directly relating to the above.

Thanks in advance, Jel

let me get this straight - you want to have a settings page that allows you to select the difficulty, and based on that difficulty you want to change the countdown timer?

If this is right, I'd just use a bunch of attributes:

timer = 0
easy = 60
medium = 45
hard = 30

and in the settings have buttons for each difficulty level:

easy
if actor receives touch
change attribute game.Timer = game.Easy

medium
if actor receives touch
change attribute game.Timer = game.Medium

hard
if actor receives touch
change attribute game.Timer = game.Hard

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your help. I already had some of the answer staring me in the face with my other settings and just created a HUD spawner with some the above settings.

Now my only thing is, what is the best way of setting up a default character & level ( IE main character on easy level ) if the player skips the settings screen ?

Cheers, Jel
