collision detection please help ..

Sorry for posting this so many times, however I havent been able to get an answer. I really need to get my actors of the same actor"type" to register individual collisions with another actor to update the score. Ive tried using different actors, creating a rule to change an integer value (+1,-1), however none of these methods worked to successfully change the score as the actors collided with the other actor. Thank you for you help.

Ok, this should go something like this;

New Game attribute, lets call it - Score.

So as an integer, you now have game.score

You then need your 2 actors, lets call 1 player and the other 1 enemy.

In player, you'll have a rule that says;

When overlap or colliding with enemy
Change attribute game.score to game.score + 1 (use whatever number you want)

You get into the attributes by using the little 'e' symbol which opens up the expression editor.

You'll then want another actor that has a display text behaviour, in this, click the 'e' and select game.score

Hope that helps

Cheers

yea, but that doesnt track multiple instances of the same actor, and when the player leaves the collision with the enemy it doesnt register as back to a 0. I tried using the otherwise part of the rule to set the attribute to a -1, however it didnt work. If i have one actor class but many individual ones of that same one how can i make those register?
