Hi, i want to make a timer so that whenever I die it shows how many deaths I've had.
Attempts:1 and so on..

Anything?

Make an integer attribute called 'attempts'.

When the player dies:

Change attribute 'attempts' to 'attempts +1'

Save attribute 'attempts' - key 'attempts'

On your screen somewhere have an actor that has a display behaviour:

Display: attribute 'attempts'.

On your first screen, put a load behaviour in an actor:

key 'attempts' - attribute 'attempts'

That should do it.

You need a global attribute "deaths", and another global attribute "showDeaths"

In your main actor in the rule when it dies, change attribute game.deaths to game.deaths +1' and also change showDeaths to 1.
then in an actor that you want to display the deaths, use Display Text, and a rule, when show deaths is 1, then display text deaths. And add a timer, in the rule, like after 5seconds, change showDeaths to 0. And in the otherwise section, have it display text, but with just a space in it..

I hope is helps..

Hi I've tried both methods but have been unsuccessful.

@QS I can only see Display text not a display only behaviour
