Scoring based on movement upwards

Theodi

Hi everyone, does anyone know how I would go about setting up a scoring system which is based on movement upwards. Like papi jump your score goes up the more you move upwards.

Any help appreciated,

Have a game attribute that is changed by an actor rule referencing it's self position. Something like-

if self position x is greater than game attribute score then change game attribute score to self position x

hope that helps. It should be pretty easy to set up and you can make a formula to change and check the score attribute to what ever you want with simple sum in the check and change rules

Theodi

Thanks kipper ill give this a go, still new so might need some more advice!

Hi so I'v made a game attribute Interger called Score, Iv put on the actor If self position x is greater than game.score then change game.score to self.position.x

nothing happenes though when i test, am I doing something wrong?

old_kipper

add display text to the actor and see what self position is reading and add a second actor that displays the game score. It should help with debugging and might bring something up. I can't see what you have done or am at a machine where I check the rules for myself, but you must be close to sorting it. I am sure there is someone here who can help you out and has access to a machine. Perhaps post an image of the actor rules you've done.

Iv got a display text already which works fine when actor collects bonuses along the way. It reads self position as 0 though.

Got to go out now, but if anyone can help would be great.

Thanks again kipper

You have not got the self position reading correctly if the actor is moving and it stays at 0

are you using the new 0.9.3 update? if so, I think it is a bug. I've had somewhat of the same problem, of it not reading out the correct position....

Theodi

Hi jr yea im using the new update.
