Get points when jump over

Fredrik Bixo

Hi , I'm making a new game and now and I have a big problem. I want to get the score +1 when i jump over another actor.I already know how to get score +1 but the problem is that i don't now how to get it when my main actor jump over another actor . I've already tried change attribute x and y to self position every 0.1 sec on my "jump over" actor and then the same on my main actor but instead x2, y2 and then if x2 and y2 is > or < than x or y change attribute score to +1. I'm probably thinking completely wrong... any ideas?

Place an invisible actor ontop and do a collision check
If collision with invisible actor
points + 1

thanks. Sorry I forgot to say that the "jump over" actor are moving up'n down

Here's a better idea. Put the actors you want jumped over in the scene. Then,tell your jumping actor: When (self.position.Y) and (self.position.X) is Greater Than (jumpedactor.position.Y) and (jumpedactor.position.Y). Now you don't need any extra actor!

svn is right, you'll also need to create global attributes for the jumping enemies

JumpEnemeyPosX
JumpEnemeyPosY

And constrain the jump enemies Self Pos X and Self Pos Y to those global attributes

Then in the player actor set up a rule like:

attribute Self Pos X > Jump EnemyPosX
attribute Self Pos Y > Jump EnemyPosY

Chg attribute Score to true

Then setup up a score rule somewhere else:
When Score = true
Chg Attribute TotalScore to TotalScore + 1

The reason I did it like that is because you'll probably have more than one instance of this actor and it might confuse GS with the global attributes.

The other alternative is to do like the first guys reply, each enemy spawns an invisible collision box above them which is constrained to the X Pos and Y pos (+ how ever many pixels above you want it ot appear), then when the player collides with the collision box it adds a score.

thanks! How can I make global attributes?
