Countdowns issue

poopdecksweeper

Hi guys,

I am trying to make a countdown that once actor A overlaps actor B then timer will start countdown from 7.

Two things are wrong. 1) the timer will not countdown for some odd reason. 2) I am trying to reset the countdown to 7 once actor A overlaps actor B, but still have a countdown.

So, once FLYER hits GATE then timer = 7, but start countdown to 0.

If countdown = 0 then score multiplier = 0.

Thanks

You will need two attributes:
doTimer (type = boolean and set it false)
theTime (type = integer and set it to 0)

When the two actors collide
-- Change Attribute: doTimer To: true
otherwise
-- Change Attribute: doTimer To: false

When doTimer = true
--Change Attribute: theTime To: 7

When theTime > 0
-- Timer: Every 1 second
----Change Attribute: theTime To: theTime -1

Hope this helps!

thanks guys I got it figured out, but now I need to find a way to reset my score multiplier once my timer reaches 1.

I have a lot of attributes that are constrained working at once, so it is really hard to keep a track of where the attributes are constrained in what actor, and make the logic right. Once I do this I can update my game on the app store and get some good reviews. I had a bad review online so I wanted to change what they said to change. That way my gameplay wont take me down to a 1.6 out of 10. haha.
