Attributes Question

luke2125

Hi,

Currently working on a game and I'm stuck on the following, hope, someone can help....I have a Rule as follows:

When All Conditions are Valid

Attribute gamekidscore >=5

Next Scene

Works fine, now, the problem comes in when I set the following:

When All Conditions are Valid

Attribute gamekidscore < 5

Go to Scene GameOver

Since I set kidscore attribute as 0, everytime I play the Scene it goes to Game Over Scene. How can I fix this....Thanks and God Bless....

Sincerely,

Sunday

Glad to hear, and you're welcome.

add a second condition

When all conditions are valid
Attribute Game.kidscore < 5
and Attribute Game.kidscore > 0

Hi there,

Thanks for the quick response and help, really appreciated it....I've tried the second condition, and it still goes to the game over screen, right from the start. Any other suggestions? Thanks and God Bless....

Sincerely,

Can you explain how scoring works in your game? I understand it starts at 0, but do players get 1 point for an action, or 10, or does it really start at 50 and count down, etc.?

Hi there,

Ok, I have set-up an attribute called kidscore ( interger ) = 0. Now, I have an Actor which I called Kidbubble, and on this actor I have the below set-up:

Rotate : Direction * Clockwise Speed = 90

Rule: When All conditions are valid: Actor receives event : overlaps or collides with Actor Type: starkid

Change Attribute : game.kidscore To game.kidscore+1
Change Attribute: game.totalkidssaved To game.totalkidssaved +1

Destroy this Actor

Rule: When All conditions are valid:
Attribute : gamekidscore >= 5
Change Scene: Next Scene

The totalkidssaved is an overall score of the kidscore, I'm using the kidscore to pass to next level. In other words, on next level, the kidscore > =10, then the player passes to next scene ( next level ). Then, 10 gets added to totalkidssaved. I hope it's not confusing.....Thanks again and God Bless...

So based on what you said, your earlier rule:

When All Conditions are Valid
Attribute gamekidscore < 5
Go to Scene GameOver

Doesn't make sense. It seems like you need another condition, such as when scene.time > 30 or something along those lines. When do you want the game to be over?

Hi there,

Thanks for the insight and help, I added another condition for the game ending, to the Alienship which is being spawned by a spawn actor:

Rule: All conditions are valid:

Attribute - self.Position.X < = 0
Attribute - game.kidscore > = 0
Attribute - game.kidscore < 5

Change Scene
Goto Scene gameover

So far it's working........Thanks again for the help, really appreciated it....God Bless...

Sincerely,
