Assuming that if the first condition is true you want to perform the other actions...

Code: Select all

if (tincollision==1)
{
 useage=1;
 ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "minedore", FORWARD);
 tinoreno.textNumber=tinoreno.textNumber+1;
}


It's worth buying a book on the basics or programming, your problem above is mainly syntax of which the basics are fairly similar in most programming languages. The nasty thing is, as with any language if you miss so much as a ; or type something slightly wrong it just wont work, that's just the way computers are

Also, If you want to count something use a variable not an actor, it's more flexable and allows you to use that variable more widely; so the code:

Code: Select all

tinoreno.textNumber=tinoreno.textNumber+1;

may be written in a basic and easily understandable way as:

Code: Select all

count+1;
tinoreno.textNumber = count;

so the final code might be:

Code: Select all

if (tincollision==1)
{
 useage=1;
 ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "minedore", FORWARD);
 countcoll+1;
 tinoreno.textNumber = countcoll;
}


You'd have to create a new variable called countcoll for the above to work.

is that how to make a variable = to a textNumber, how do you do that?

[pixelpoop]

textNumber is used to change the numbers displayed by an actor in game.
so, if you made an actor and changed it to display numbers, this would change what numbers are being displayed.

actorname.textNumber=20;
//makes that actor display "20" during the game.


variable1=actorname.textNumber;
//This makes variable1 equal to 20;
