Checking & Storing a lower value in a table?

danteshope

Hi GS members,

I'm stuck in a bind at the moment, maybe someone with a better mind can help me?

What I am trying to do is, store a value (from a running timer) from beginning of the game. When the game ends it will store the timer value (lower value) in a table I have named TableA in Row 1 Col 1.

I am not sure about the checking of new timer value to the tabled values, and if it is lower, replace the the value in the table.

Anyone have any ideas?

I deleted your duplicate thread.

Create a real attribute (or integer if you prefer) called game.timeLeft and set its value to some number of seconds such as 30.

Have a Timer set to every 0.1 seconds that changes attribute game.timeLeft to game.timeLeft-0.1.

When the game ends, have a rule that checks to see if attribute game.timeLeft < tableCellValue(tableName,1,1). If so, Change Table Value [tableName] row: 1 col: 1 value: game.timeLeft.

Hey @danteshope,
I think I am understanding you correctly and if not I apologize. What I am getting from your post is if timer value is less than the stored table value then change it. If that is what you are trying to accomplish then I would have something along these lines.

When game.GameEnds is true
~(New Rule Inside Top Rule)~
When timer value is < tablecellvalue(TableA,1,1)
change table value
Table: TableA
Row: 1
Column: 1
Value: timer value

Save Table

Hope that helps if that's what your looking for!
