Make a button only usable once.

christo

I have a rule on a button to change attribute "game.score" to "game.score+random(50,100)" which is great for what i need. However, I only want the player to be able to use it once – then they are unable to use it to keep increasing their score.

I don't want to destroy the button because I want to keep it in the scene. I just want to make it so that if it is pushed a second time it wont add to the score again.

Thanks!

You can add a toggle inside the button...

self.ready

Check that attribute.

If touch is pressed and self.ready is true
Change game.score to game.score+bonus
Change self.ready to false.

I probably did not do it right because the score will not show up now.

The order might be important... change the score before disabling the toggle.
Also, the actor's attribute has to be set to true by default.

How do you set the actor attribute to true by default -- Thank you for your help!!

You could just put a blank actor over the button art actor (with no rules)and put the rules in the blank one then destroy that one. The art button will stay but not do anything
