How do i do a checklist

beefy_clyro

hi. basically i have a checklist which is numbered, the checklist relates to another part of the app that comes with the description for that number. On the checklist i would like them to be able to touch the screen and it spawns an actor (maybe a tick in a check box). How could i make that save so next time they start the app it remembers what has been checked? thanks in advance

Ok, not an expert by any means...not even finished my 1st game yet.....and I'm not on my GS laptop...actually busy at work :-)
.........

To create one tick box, like a toggle button.
.........
Create an integer attribute 'game.tickbox1'
On your button, make a rule,
if touch is pressed,
change attribute 'game.tickbox1' to (game.tickbox+1)%2
........
To show the tick:
........
If 'game.tickbox1' = 1
Change image to tick
if 'game.tickbox1' = 0
change image to blank.

To save the tickbox so it remembers after closing the app.

Add a rule to the 'if button touched'

save attribute 'game.tickbox1' to key 'tickbox1'
.........

Then on the first screen of your game, normally the company logo splash screen,

have a rule,

load attribute, key 'tickbox1' = 'game.tickbox1'

Glad it worked. There is a way to do a hundred easily bit it envoves employing and training an army of monkeys.

I never knew what the % and a number did as i had seen it in a couple of peoples explanantions, thats well handy to know, thanks for that. I was almost there but didnt think to use change image, i was spawning an actor instead but i soon realised i would need a hundred actors for the attributes which wouldnt of been practical. As for the monkeys, if you can get them to create shakespeare, im sure we can train some to make a game
