Counting Down Using Interpolate

AppFueled

I'm using T Shirt Booths tutorial on counting down using interpolate. When I finish my level, lets say I have 500 points. Everything works fine except the only thing I don't like is that when it counts down it also uses decimals.

For example, 500 is the level score. It counts down and looks like: 476.64. I don't want the decimal to be there. I want these to be whole numbers. Any suggestions?

Use floor.

TShirtBooths tutorial for Interpolate does not use floor. I got everything working, I just need to know how to eliminate the places after the decimal.

Asymptoteell

Thats the thing. You need to put floor(game.score)

+1. floor is the expression to round to a whole number

I see. How would the expression look written out?

AppFueled

wait, so this is how the expression is written out: floor(game.score)

AppFueled

when I put this equation in the attribute: floor(game.score) it does not work. Am I doing something wrong?

Asymptoteell

I think that's how.

JohnPapiomitis

yes thats how, do it like this

click the e and open up the expression editor, type in floor then ( then select your attribute from the drop down and type )

try like that instead of selecting floor from the drop down

Hey John, I appreciate your help but it still isn't working. I am using INTERPOLATE. According to the video I am suppose to put (game.score) in the space for "interpolate attribute." If I try to add "floor" it doesn't stick.

JohnPapiomitis

i havent seen the video, but if the interpolate is whats changing the score down every so often, ithe problem where your putting floor. I think whenever you have the score done counting, put a change attribute behavior change game.score to floor(game.score), or if your displaying the score at the end with display text display it as floor(game.score)

Asymptoteell

Right! Display text floor(game.floor)

Asymptoteell

Game.score I mean.

Guys, thanks for your help. Got it to work. Turns out I had to select both "floor" and "the score attribute" from the drop down menu. Thanks again for your patience.
