Rule Question?? (Attributes)

Games4life

Hi GS community,

I am trying to get the attribute "timer" to add one second every time the attribute, "stop" is true. This rule is not working and just adding 1 to the attribute.

Goal: Reset the scene with an extra second on the clock
Ex: 10 seconds to start but stop attribute is true so now I want the scene to reset and +1 second and now there SHOULD be 11 seconds.

Thank for your help!

Rules only trigger when their status changes from false to true. So if game.Stop is true, it will trigger the rule ONCE. You would then need to reset game.Stop to false for the rule to trigger the next time game.Stop is true.

The timer wont reset back to 10 on its own, its a game attribute you need to set it to 10 as default and then add 1 to this 10. so add a change attribute , change timer to 10 as default every time the scene starts , now you can add 1 to make it 11 or add 2 to make it 12 etc.

I didnt try it but i think you need to add a rule by itself , if game.timer is = 10 and game.stop is true then change attribute game.timer to game.timer +1 , that should work i think.

I tried this kind of rule before. If your game.timer is running continuously (decreasing), the 1 additional sec is hard to notice since the timer itself is decreasing very quickly.

If you are resetting the clock, then your rule needs to change to reflect that each time stop is true clock timer resets to original value plus1.
