How to make an image keep on changing when touched!

Hello,

I am working on an app but I can not figure out how to make an image to keep on changing every time touched. Here is a short video to help. I just want to be able to see the image I selected to take the place of the one up, if that makes sense. So when image is touched a new one will come up and when that one is touch a new one will come up.





I hope this makes sense!

Thanks
Conner

    Before you import your images, name them in consecutive order such as ship1.png, ship2.png, ship 3.png, etc.

    Make an integer attribute called game.imageNum and set it to 1.

    Have a rule that says When Touch is Pressed Change attribute game.imageNum to game.imageNum+1

    Then have a behavior to Constrain Attribute self.Image to "ship."..game.imageNum

    Hey Thanks,

    I will try to figure this out. Do you know if there is a video on this because they are very helpful to me. Also will this be hard to do with 20+ actors that will do the same on different scenes.

    While a video might be better if you are a visual learner, there isn't anything *more* to it than what I posted above. One attribute, one rule with a single behavior, and one additional behavior.

    There may be videos related to this... custom font, for example, but I recommend just trying what I posted first. The videos may confuse you more since they are more advanced than what you are asking.

    It's not hard at all, even with dozens of actors.

    Thanks for that. I just figured it out. Yeah it may take a while to do but it will work.

    Thanks for helping me with this all!!!

    If you need to add that behavior and rule to a bunch of actors, just put them in a group and then drag the group into the custom behaviors area. That way, in each actor all you have to do is open the actor and drag the group in from custom behaviors.

    I am really not sure how to make the 2 change to 3.

    I am willing to pay some one to Skype me and show me how to do this step by step.

    I am just not very good with anything besides the very very basics of GameSalad.

    If you could help please tell me as soon as possible.

    I really think that I am messing everything up.... :(

    I figured out how to do it now! But for some reason after it goes through all the image it makes a white box the same size instead of starting over again. Any ideas!

    Thanks @Braydon_SFX for taking the time out of your day to make me a demo project

    In the demo posted by @Braydon_SFX he uses '%10' to cycle/loop through 10 images.

    Thanks for that it now goes through them, but still has the white block when going through! If you know what I mean. (:

    Add '+1' to the end of the '%10' equation.
