Unlocking Actors' usability after achievements

Zenith_Gameworks

Can anyone guide me on how I could unlock characters are reaching certain scores such as 50,100, 300, etc?
What attributes and behaviors should I use?

Just make a new game attribute, and change it to 1/true after specific conditions are met.
And when this attribute is 1/true, give player an achievement, and change the rest of the rules, which make your actor useable.

Could you give me an example of how I could change the rules?

If game.points is bigger than 1000
Change attribute game.unlock to true

If game.unlock is true
Update Achievement

Inside your locked characters:

If game.unlock is true
The rest of your rules

Ok thanks but just one more question. When you say "update achievement," how exactly do you mean to do this in gamesalad?

That all depends on your game. You choose what update to apply.

In my latest game, I simply say that if the game.unlock changes, the actor's image changes. If you wanted to make the actor move faster or jump higher, make it so that if the attribute is true, those rules go in place.
