Unlock an actor when 1 minute has passed

Cabaco

So I have my actor that is a ball. And now I want when one minute has passed, you unlock a new ball and when unlocking a new ball, how do I choose the ball so I play as it? Please explain!

Cabaco

Please help out!

DimensionGames

create a timer game.balltime +1 when game.balltime = 60

Two options move actors or spawn them.

Can you make a deeper explanation please?

please don't bump your own threads after only 20 minutes. You should wait at least until it drops off the front page.

you need to go into much greater detail of what you're trying to do, how that unlocked ball will be chosen in the game, etc. the information you provided gives too little detail to really help you.

So my game is a type of game where you have to send other balls of the screen and defend your circle in the middle of the screen. You have to survive for as long as you can and if you survive over 60 seconds then I want it to unlock a ball where in the main menu you can change to it.

put in actor in the level that is called timer, create an attribute called gameTime and ballUnlock.

in the timer actor, put a rule that says

every 1 second
gameTime = gameTime + 1

then on the player's ball, put a rule that says

when gameTime = 60
change attribute ballUnlock to True

then on your main menu where you have you're unlockable ball say

when ballUnlock = true
(put whatever code you have to select the new ball here)

Cabaco

Ball Unlock is what type of attribute?

jonmulcahy

boolean

And what about when I want to change my ball?

Cabaco

How do I do to change my ball in the main menu so that in my 3 levels it is playing as that ball?

I'm not sure what you are trying to do, so I can't give you code. I suggest you watch all these youtube videos, they will give you a great foundation on GameSalad and allow you to answer most of your own questions.

I want to change my character which is a ball and they are moving on my finger, constrained to my touch.

MotherHoose

how do you want your character to change?
different image? different color? different size? different actor? different position on screen? different movement effect?

how do you want to implement the change? which event will trigger it?

Please be specific with requests, so answers can relate to your problem... and you can use them to solve it!

Explain what you want to do.... what you have tried that didn't work.

Change actor and I want to implement the change when I click the ball on the main menu and to trigger its usage I want a start button to start everything.
