distance counter help

skippy

This was mentioned in the forum about 5 months ago but i need some more info if anyone knows, i need a distance counter on the screen so when my actor goes up say the length of the screen the counter will read 480 or something like that and if it falls down half way it will read 240, i'm not sure if it has to relate to the pixels but i just need some sort of counter constantly displaying how high or low the actor is on the screen
It was said before to increase the actors x or y value to match the scene size or something but i need more details please

synthesis

or position.Y in your case
Nice try Tshirt...(gotta keep an eye on you).

ok so i created the attribute integer playersy then when i add the constrain attribute to the actor self.position.y to game.playersy the actor doesn't move now, i'm doing something wrong for sure

Update sorry i had them two the wrong way around it works perfectly thanks fellas

Edit: Oops! I see you got it working.

What the guys meant was that you need to set up an integer attribute(player.Dist).

Display this integers' value onscreen. Distance = (Game.players.Dist)

Then in the players actor
Constrain Game.players.Dist to Self.position.y

Now you should see the Distance = (Game.players.Dist) alter as the player moves.
