Change attribute back and forth between 1 and 2

iPhoneDevForMe

I swear I have read how to do this somewhere but I CANNOT find the post!

Basically I just have an int attribute that I want to change every 15 seconds between 1 and 2

so:
1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2.....ect

All I know is it involves the expression editor and modulus, just don't remember the formula!

Thanks for your time!

Attribute set to 0
Every 15 sec
Change attribute to ((attribute+1)%2)+1

Just so you know, I love you.

You can take that any way you want haha!

It doesn't seam to be working

My rule is set:

Every 15 sec:
-Change attribute to ((attribute+1)%2)+1

I am using display text to check, and it goes from 0 to 2, and stays that number. Any thoughts?

After 15 seconds it changes your attribute from 0 to 2 (attribute+1 = 1, 1%2 = 1, 1+1 = 2). Then, each pass after that sets your attribute back to 2. (attribute+1 = 3, 3%2 = 1, 1+1 = 2)

You will need 2 attributes to get that to work correctly...

Ok, I see the math now, I swear FireMapleGames had a solution, but I will try to do a work around.

Thanks alot for the detailed explantion barkbark!

You could do this:

Display text: attribute+1

Rule:
Every 15 sec:
-Change attribute to (attribute+1)%2

The rule gives you 1,0,1,0,1,0,1, etc...

You just need to add the +1 when you use the attribute.

Update
Set attribute to 0
Change attribute to (attribute+1)%2

actor that uses this
Check for attribute +1 but do not add the extra 1 to attribute

Oops barkbark beat me
I should have got it right the first time cause i use tgus alot in mu games when i need an actor to be in two different location depending on some other attribute

Hi Kyle, I've had a bash as well (there's more than one way to skin a cat, as they say...)

A bit unrefined perhaps, but it works. 2 game attributes, bool OneTwo + int Switcher:



Might help you out, although there's no modulus involved or the expression editor though... so barkbark00 + jstrahan ideas could well work out better.
