reginald.bernardin

Ya i want to attack an actor multiple times to destroy him, kind of like a boss character. I want to make a rule like this: if the actor is pressed like 7 times destroy the actor? any suggestions?

Create an integer attribute self.health and set it to 7.

When Touch is Pressed --> Change Attribute self.health to self.health-1.

When attribute self.health<=0 Destroy Actor.

oh so index are only positive integers?

numbers are numbers to a computer (by definition a computer computes numbers)
a bit is either a 0 or 1; a byte is a group of bits
your OS translates your input to the computer's language of zeroes and ones
while translating the computer's stored/computed values to human language for output

In GS … attributes store values:

boolean: stores 0 (false) or 1 (true)

text: stores text and numerical values
… if there are no letters in text field
     numerical values are treated as numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.)

integer: stores positive or negative whole numbers (no fractional/decimal values)

index: stores positive whole numbers

real: stores positive or negative whole or irrational numbers (fractional/ decimal)

angle: stores positive or negative whole or irrational numbers within the range 0-359

for all default attributes … the type is preset
for those attributeTypes and for the attributeTypes we create
-bytes in RAM are allocated by the computer
… obviously: booleanTypes require the least amount of RAM
    then indexTypes … then integer … then angle … then real … then text
so selecting the correct type … is efficient use of the computer's resources

all types of numericalValues can be manipulated with the mathematical operants (+-*/)

(enumeration is another numericalType of attribute with a specific range value
… but we can not alter those during runTime)
