How do you calculate an image change with a timer of %

natclarke

Hi

I have an attribute where I want to time the energy of my character, which is set between 0 and 100 %

How do I set up a range rule when the % is between 50 (.5) and 80% (.8) change image 1 to image 2

regards

Nat

When all the following conditions are true
attribute 'energy' is > 0.5
and
attribute 'energy' is < 0.8
--change image to 2

natclarke

Thanks socks. What do you do if you have a few more attributes within the range i.e hunger, happiness and energy and health?

pHghost

You can add as many conditions as you wish.

I am using doing the following but it is not working at all in changing the image. I am not sure what I am doing wrong with these rules

Rule 1: Image 1 (Range: 90.1 to 100 % for health, happiness, energy & Hunger 0-9.9%)

Numeric expression 'game.health','game.happiness','game.energy' <0.901
Numeric expression 'game.health','game.happiness','game.energy' >1
Numeric expression ' game.CSHunger ' < 0.99
Numeric expression ' game.CSHunger ' > 0

Rule 2: Image 2 (Range: 50 to 90 % for health, happiness, energy & Hunger 10-50%)

Numeric expression 'game.health','game.happiness','game.energy' <0.9
Numeric expression 'game.health','game.happiness','game.energy' >0.5
Numeric expression ' game.CSHunger ' < 0.5
Numeric expression ' game.CSHunger ' > 0.1

Change image to image 3 (Range: 34% to 49.9 % for health, happiness, energy & Hunger -50.1%-67%)

---

Numeric expression 'game.health','game.happiness','game.energy' <0.499
Numeric expression 'game.health','game.happiness','game.energy' >0.34
Numeric expression ' game.CSHunger ' < 0.63
Numeric expression ' game.CSHunger ' > 0.501

Change image to image 4 (Range: 17% to 34.9 % for health, happiness, energy & Hunger 67.1% to 84)

---

Numeric expression 'game.health','game.happiness','game.energy' <0.349
Numeric expression 'game.health','game.happiness','game.energy' >0.17
Numeric expression ' game.CSHunger ' < 0.84
Numeric expression ' game.CSHunger ' > 0.671

Change image to image 5 (Range: 0% to 16.9 % for health, happiness, energy & Hunger 84.1% to 100)

---

Numeric expression 'game.health','game.happiness','game.energy' <0.169
Numeric expression 'game.health','game.happiness','game.energy' >0
Numeric expression ' game.CSHunger ' < 1
Numeric expression ' game.CSHunger ' > 0.841

Can we see the rules you are using ?

pHghost

Rule 1 you have a mistake.

energy > 0.901 and < 1. You have it the other way around, so smaller than 90.1% and bigger than 100%. They can't be both true at the same time.

pHghost

Also, what about the situations when NONE of these combinations are true?

Say, energy is 0.480 and hunger is 0.3? That isn't covered by any of these rules. Or is the hunger and energy linked? If they are, why have two stats?

I think the problem you have is not the GS code, but the general logic of your system.

natclarke

I wanted to group the hunger which ranges from 0-100 and the energy. happiness and health that ranges from 100 to 0%

The code is a virtual animal that I want to show their moods but I am not sure if the attributes are grouped or displayed correctly or how to achieve this if they are not.

Could we see one of the numeric expressions.

'attribute','attribute','attribute' . . . . isn't a valid expression.

Numeric expression is looking for something to calculate, so things like commas and quote marks won't make any sense to it.

natclarke

what would i place there? Just one attribute and repeat the rules over and over again for each attribute. Health, Happines and Energy all have the same range of %. Is there a better way to do it? that groups the three attributes together?

Basically a calculation, so something like . . .

When
--Numeric Expression
----Level1Score+Level2Score+(Bonus*10)
----Is lager than 200
------Then do some stuff.

. . . or maybe . . . .

When
--Numeric Expression
----Self.position.X + Self.Width
----equals 512
------Then do some stuff.

What are the value ranges for each attribute ?
