+50?

FloridaGames

when a target is hit i would like it to say +50 either where the target was or underneath the score. Any suggestions?

Create an actor that is an image of +50 and spawn it over the existing. Actor. Have it fade out after. A sec and destroy. It

Dizko

Spawn an actor after the collision occurs

or

Have an actor off screen, and then move it to the other actor's xy position after the collision occurs.

By the way, it looks very nice if the "+50" slowly moves upwards while fading out. The actor would look like this:

-Accelerate - Direction: 90, Speed: 10
-Interpolate - self.color.alpha to 0, Duration: 1
-Timer - After 1 Second - Destroy actor

Hope that helps

You will get slightly better performance if you take out the timer and just set a rule When Alpha = 0 Destroy Actor.

tenrdrmer: nice to know.. im using timers all over the place where i could be using the rule.. but isn't the rule also checking the rule every frame, just like timer checks the time every frame?
