end of collection and then change scene

Dooki

Hey all,

In my game you trigger scene change after you have collected all the gems. How do I go about creating a controller that will do this? Thanks.

Have an integer attribute called 'gems'

Every time your player collides with a gem, change attribute gems to gems +1

Make a rule:

If gems = 20

change scene

Dooki

Cool! This is the opposite of making it deduct lives per collision. Is the rule (gems=20, change scene) within my main actor too or an external controller? Thanks!

quantumsheep

I'd make it external. If you wanted to change the number depending on the level, it's easier to do with instances of an external actor, rather than muck about with your main actor prototype.

Thanks. So for every level I create an instance of the external controller actor, check. So if level one I have a controller and level two I use an instance of the controller, can I dump the original controller in level two from level one?

Dooki

OK, I got the external controller to work. NOW, I notice that if I make changes to level two the same changes happen in level one. For example, level one has one actor dropping a gem. Level two has two actors dropping gems. However, when I preview the game level one as the two actors now. How can I make scene changes independent? Thanks.

You click on the actor within the scene, then click on the padlock to unlock the prototype and make an instance.

Have a look at he Wiki stuff. The basics are covered there

Good luck!

OH YEAH! I did read this somewhere.

Thanks again!
