Resetting an Attribute Question?

Games4life

Hey GS Community,

I have a question about how to reset an attribute and then add 1 to it.

For example, when the timer hits zero I want the whole scene or at least the attribute to reset. Once reset I want to add 1 second to timer attribute.

When the timer hits zero, reset, add 1 second to the timer.

Pictures would be of no use here because I have no idea even where to start.

Thanks,

If you are adjusting the timer then you can't* use the built in time attributes (e.g. game.Time). You'll need to use a custom timer, for example:

Change attribute game.maxTime to 10
Change attribute game.timeRemaining to game.maxTime
When game.timeRemaining ≥ 1
     Timer every 1 second
          Change attribute game.timeRemaining to game.timeRemaining-1
Otherwise
     Change attribute game.maxTime to game.maxTime+1
     Change attribute game.timeRemaining to game.maxTime

*Well, you can but I find it easier to create my own.

Thanks very much I'll try this!

I assume this new attribute is an integer?

It always helps if people click on the expression box 'e' before taking the screenshot, leaving these windows closed means people cannot check for mistakes in the expressions.

tatiang's suggestion says . . .

Otherwise
Change attribute game.maxTime to game.maxTime+1
Change attribute game.timeRemaining to game.maxTime

. . . you've got . . .

Otherwise
Change attribute game.timeRemaining to game.maxTime
Change attribute game.maxTime to game.maxTime+1

. . . so game.timeRemaining is set to game.maxTime, before game.maxTime has been updated.
