Adding values of actors and destroying one

Caramelist

Hi,
I am quite new to GS. My problem might be easy to tackle, but could not figure any solutions yet.
When I drag the actor on the same actor type, I want the scores (values of the actors) to be added as the sum of both, and the one that I hit by dragging, to be destroyed and I want the actor to take the place of the destroyed one.

Is there a way to achieve that?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Here's an example (attached). It might not be exactly what you're looking for but could get you on your way. It was made on a Mac so you'll need to convert it if you're using a PC (Google convert mac to windows gamesalad).

Is the non-dragged one moving at all? Does it change position ever? If not, I might have a solution...

Hi,

Thank you very much, In fact I am using a Mac, I don't how I could manage to put in working with PC to my profile )
I think I found another solution, but I am not sure, since it seems to be a temporary one, and I loose the sum, the moment the position changes, the old value appears again.

I have a grid and I want the value of the actors to be changed, by sliding them, and to be destroyed. So to fill the empty spaces, the actors fall down, I use a spawner for the new ones. My problem is, even though I change the table values, the moment the actor slides down, it goes back to original value.

I also tried with your solution, but it does not work either, somehow I can only allocate the sum, when it says in his Y position, the moment it changes, It goes back to its original value....

You posted in the "Working with GS (PC)" sub-forum. I went ahead and moved this to the Mac sub-forum.

If you're using a grid (by the way, those kinds of details are really important to include in your posts), can you just check the actor(s)' position(s) rather than collision detection?

My problem is, even though I change the table values to the sum, the moment the block slides down, it goes back to original value.

How are you doing all that? What is the rule for the change table value, for example? And any thoughts about what is making it revert back to the original value?

Hi,

I solved it, It was caused by the Cell ID, which was not updated.
Thanks a lot for your help!
