Rate per second

How do I calculate the rate per second of an attribute.

For example if I am earning 10 oranges/sec how do I display this?

    An attribute does not have a 'rate'.

    I'd simply use "10"

    Hi @aliz94 as @Socks says, an attribute doesn't have a rate, an attribute value can have, but I'm certain you meant to say that! :smile: so I'll revise your question:

    How do I display an integer (attribute) showing an average amount every second?

    I'm almost finished putting together a little test for you to show that; I'll post it soon.

    The basic principle is using integer attributes: game.PrevTotal, game.LatestTotal, game.AverageTotal and game.Count and use the following in your Average attribute in a Display Text behaviour to display every period of time required:

        Change Attribute game.Count to game.Count+1
       Change Attribute game.PrevTotal to ( game.PrevTotal + game.LatestTotal )
Change Attribute game.AverageTotal to game.PrevTotal / game.Count
    Change Attribute LatestTotal to 0

    At least, I think that should work... off to finish the game file now... I'll be back...

    Here it is for you to check out... the only thing I've changed is the rate every 1 second seemed too quick in this user picking example, so I've made it every 4 seconds. Obviously you can change that to whatever you want.

    Edit again: if anyone's downloaded v1, 2 or 3, I've added changing Count to 0 in the Go button + deleted test actors, etc: here's latest version v4 now.
