Using a counting attribute for star collection.

BlackbirdStudios

Hello all,

I am having a mini crisis with one of my attributes here.

Every time my actor overlaps with a star, it is supposed to add 1 to the star counter attribute. But it is continuously adding to it nonstop!

I have it set like this

When actor overlaps or collides:

Change attribute game.starcounter to game.starcounter+1.

I only need it to add once for every star it collides with.

Can anyone help me?

yeah i know i really need it too. i could do so much more if it worked right. anyone know anything else about it?

Is it inside a timer or otherwise set to go off in a timed way? If so, its doing what its supposed to do.

If its just a rule sitting out by its lonesome self -- well then that would be odd behavior.

mine is just a rule by itself. no timers at all.

Hmmm.... I just tried it with the rule sitting by itself. It only counts one hit.

I tried to do different things to see if i can get it to do multiple counts with a simple collide rule. But I can't easily replicate the results you are having.

I found a workaround myself guys. Thanks for the help!
