How would I interpolate/change a score DOWN when I have it geared to interpolate UP.

jckmcgraw

Hello everybody,

Here is my problem/background in detail... I have stars that are coming down the screen. They have a rule that says when touch is pressed (and some other stuff), it will change game.tempscore to game.tempscore + 100.

In my controlling actor, I have a rule that says: when attribute game.tempscore is > game.score, interpolate game.score to game.tempscore. This way I have a nice interpolated score.

However, I also have things coming down the screen, and when you touch them, I want it to change or interpolate (it doesn't matter) the score DOWN. If I change subtract from game.score, then game.tempscore will be bigger, and it will interpolate to the same # it was at before.

Any help is greatly appreciated,
Jack McGraw

You can't change an interpolations direction until after it's reached it's specified target.
You will have to try another method. (from my knowledge)

I would suggest using a timer.
When the game score is supposed to increase by say 100 points. Timer > for 1 seconds add 1 point every 0.001 seconds.
Play with that, it works great for my TOTB4 entrant.

Hope that helps

I believe you would have to change tempscore down as well as game.score
