i am new to game salad hence having trouble understanding the concepts especially with the attributes as in when do i call for a attribute. will try doing ask you have said. thanks!

You'll need a boolean attribute that determines whether or not x can change. Set it to true (checked).

so im trying to figure out how to get attribute x to change to attribute y, but only once..the first time touch is pressed...then i want attribute x to become a constant and no longer change with y.

Figured it out... Gotta unlock the actor within the scene or the scene attribute will not show up to change.

So far I made a rule that has another attribute that changes to the Oriningal number and then after event if that attribute is equal to self.number then it picked the same number so then it's repeated

That's a bit of a problem, if I have multiple vowels or consonants, they'd all be the same letter since they're derived from the same random value from the attribute, is there something I can do that

and this is the problem . this what i make is working with one spawning acot now , i dont understand how i adjust actors attribute to know what row are active in the table

Try taking the random functions out of the tableCellValue expressions. This is a known issue with GameSalad. Generate them first and then use the attributes you generate within the tableCellValue ex

I've been trying to make a program in GameSalad that'll generate a random word using a pattern of vowels and consonants. I have it so when a button is pressed, an boolean attribute will be set to true

@Utveckla_Games that would probably be a new attribute type needed. Layers don't have unique names so passing in a layer name wouldn't work so easily without breaking someone's project.

I'm just going to spit out another idea that will probably have a good reason for not being implemented, but what about using a change attribute to change the layer? Like this:

While theoretically you can spawn an actor in different layers with some code changes, it is not as simple as just adding an attribute selection in the spawn actor behavior.

Constrain deviceNow to # of seconds since January 1, 2013

When attribute self.Time < game.timeStampCurrent - game.timeStampStart - [some number of seconds]

in rule i make change attribute. self random row to random(1,tableRowCount(game.table)-1)

with each other. There is no interpolate of constrain attributes forcing them together. The platform uses move to behavior and my character uses change linear velocity x. Since im using move to behav

You could count self time to see when an app comes back. As selftime stops when the app is not active but holds it's current value. So store the self time in a self attribute and you could do the math

Think of attributes as variables or containers of a certain data type (egs. boolean, integer, etc) and the way you would change their default value would be to use, for example, the Change Attribute B

in theory but... how? You can't just say Change Attribute game.elapsedTime to game.deviceTime-game.spawnStartTime. You'd have to wrap it in an every 1 second timer or something. And so how do you
