integer changes from one number to another change position

digitalzero

basically im trying to make a rule like this...

if attribute "character select" changes from 0 to 1 then change position...

you see, im horrible at explaining things lol so i hope you understand what im trying to do...

tatiang

When attribute game.characterSelect = 1
     [Change position]

Are you trying to oscillate back and forth between two different positions when "character select" equals zero and when it equals one?

digitalzero

ABSOLUTELY the character is going to scroll left and right depending upon which button you press (left or right button) but the buttons go from 0,1,2,3,4,5, then back to 0 so it really screws things up

tatiang

Uh... tell me more.

You're going to have to get A LOT more specific. For example, does the actor move 60 pixels to the right the first time the right button is pressed and an integer attribute changes from 0 to 1, and then the second time the right button is pressed it moves another 60 and the integer changes from 1 to 2? 0r are there 6 different buttons for movement, numbered 0 through 5? And what is the purpose of the integer (what does it represent)? And why does it reset from 5 to 0?

Maybe you can draw a picture, too. Anything that would help because right now it feels like you have a big idea and you're offering up tiny breadcrumbs of information.

@tatiang drawing is my specialty so yeah i can definitely draw a picture i will post it in a little bit

cbt

Is this what you're trying to do?

@tatiang here is what im trying to get at pretty much

digitalzero

but its a continuous loop if you see what im talking about

tatiang

I understand it's not the exact same thing but those cover flow demos are pretty close.

I built a slider puzzle template that does cycle endlessly like you're wanting. If you click the Templates link in my signature, you can watch a video of it.
