Scoreboard that scrolls the score up.

P373Games

Hey everyone,

I have searched for a while on this but I cannot figure out how to go about making a scoreboard that scrolls the score up similar to the temple run scoreboard. Currently I have a scoreboard that changes the score correctly but it would look a lot nicer if I had the numbers scroll up.

Thanks in advance

Use the interpolate attribute. Or say something along the lines of "every 0.1 seconds change score to score+1
It's up to you

make a attribute called score and one called newScore. Whenever you want the score to go up change attribute newScore to newScore+100 (replace the 100 with whatver you want to add to the score) then have a rule when attribute newScore is > score, interpolate the score attribute to the new score attribute

cheers

Hey, thanks guys for the responses,

I used the interpolate attribute and it worked except that it shows a lot of decimals instead of just scrolling by whole numbers, any idea how to fix this?
Thanks!

in the interpolate game.Score To game.newScore
change the To: {Function} ceil(game.newScore)

as your going up use the ceiling Function to round-up the interpolation

Did you choose real or integer fir the attribute in the first place. If you dun want decimal use integer.

the attribute type defines how the value is stored

Integer, Real, Index are all numerical values
you can add/subtract/multiply/divide those numerical numbers by any number:

the Integer will store/display whole positive or negative numbers;
the Real type will store/display whole and decimal, positive or negative numbers;
the Index type will store/display only whole numbers that are positive

the Interpolate behavior incrementally changes an attribute from one value to another over a specified period of time (Duration)
it does so in small fractional units (decreasing decimal placement value units … from 10,000th to none)
and, ends by storing/displaying the value in the attribute's type of formatting

indeed simpy changing an Integer Attribute: game.Score To: 20 … will do so in increments.

what is really important here … is that no matter whether Integer, Real, or Index type
If you chose to display the attribute … the Interpolation behavior will show the decimal values while running.

for a score to display without decimals while interpolating to a newScore, because you want the nice look of gradual change,
you can use a function: ceil(x) or floor(x); to round-off the numbers during the interpolation.
replace the x in those functions with a selected attribute … in this case: game.Score
