Toggling

KC_Games

I want a toggle that also checks if something is selected before toggling. There is an integer "selected" that is 0 that I want to toggle to 1 if 0, and to 0 if 1 (both on touched). This isn't working. Any help please?

The rules get triggered constantly because when you click/tap and self.selected is 0, it causes self.selected to be 1 but... you're still clicking/tapping so it then causes self.selected to be 0 but... you're still... okay, you get the idea.

Try this:

When touch is pressed
Change attribute self.selected to 1-self.selected

this is not how to do this. you want one rule:

if touched, then change attribute: (attribute +1)%2

that toggles between 0 and 1

Thanks for the replies. Ok, so both suggestions work great, but not for what I am trying to do in my game. What I want to do is increase a variable integer +1 if the box is touched (and not currently in a touched state) and reduce the integer if touched but in a touched state. So in the example below, if you click all three boxes, the white box number should increase from 0 to 3, but if you touch a box that had already been touched, it will reduce to 2. If you touch the same exact box now in an untouched state, it will go back to 3. I hope that makes sense. I attached the project.
