Final score based on time and stars collect - best method?

Hi all,

I wanted to add a score system based on time taken to complete a level. Faster completion = high score, plus points for collecting 1-3 stars a level.

I was wondering what the best method would be of achieving this, and using maybe a table to store the score and stars(which I think I have figured out already).

thanks

    When a new scene is entered, every actor has a self timer. You can find this if you click the actor and then click 'time'. So perhaps in one of the actors that's in a particular level, log the self.time of that actor into a table.

    Then when the level is completed, have a rule somewhere:

    • if table value (wherever you put self.time) < (less than) 30 (30 seconds)
    • then
    • change table value (star amount = 3).
    • change attribute score (score = table value (self.time)*5).
    • change table value (score = 50 (or something).
    • save table.
    • if table value > 30.
    • if table value < 60.
    • change table value (star amount = 2).
    • save table.

    etc.

    Hope that helps.
