Interpolate score problem!

app-etite

Hi

Instead of using..

change attribute... game.score to game.score+125 (which works)

I tried interpolate.. game.score to game.score+125 but my score zooms up to random numbers in the 900's

Is that just another 0.9.3 bug or am I missing something here??

thanks

Could be, I am having problems with fading in and out with 0.9.3 and it worked fine before with the exact same rule I am trying now to get to work now.

Nope, not a bug.

You will need to do:

change attribute: self.newscore to game.score+125

then

interpolate game.score to self.newscore

Really?

Im not touching my game anymore until 0.9.4

yeah thats not a bug its alwayss been like that. i rmeeber when i first came across this a couple versions ago.

Interpolate constantly counts up or down so when you interpolateing to say + or - a number that numbers changing with the interpolate as well

so you need the attribute with the expression in it so the ending value doesnt change

The interpolate function is nice for the score. However, when you interpolate what you'd actually doing is changing game.score (let's say its 1000) to game.score+125 (you want it to go to 1125) for .5 seconds, BUT what actually happens is that for .5 seconds the score goes from 1000 and constantly adds 1125 for the .5 seconds.

That's not really a bug, it's a limitation of the interpolate function. TSB's video on the scoring of it is good, but isn't quite right for "specific" scoring. If you want random scoring then that's cool. :-)

Good luck.

Thanks all.

I'm gonna implement this trick on my game and I was gonna do it like on GShelper but just had a question though. On my game it where the score can go up or down. Example if actor "A" hit "target" theres a +100 but it Actor "A" misses and hits "wall" then -30. So my question is when i get a positive score do i add it to (game.oldscore) and then when I get a negative score do I take it away from (game.score)? If that makes sense???
