Hi!

I would like to store certain parameters in a single place so that it is easier for me to access/modify them. How can I do that?

What I have done so far:

Actor controls


Actor1

Key Down (right) > Script Editor

x += 10;

Key Down (left) > Script Editor

x -= 10;

Instead of "10" I would like to use a variable called "Speed". I declared a global variable "Speed".
In the Global Script Editor I put "Speed = 10;" and saved it as "VariableStor", but I do not know how to make GE access the Global Script ("x -= Speed" does not work)

As this did not work I created an actor called "Variables" with the condition Create Actor > Script Editor and put "Speed = 10;".
I am sure that there is a more elegant solution

Thanks in advance!

on the player, create actor -> scrpt ed -> speed=10;
then key left -> scrpt ed -> x-=speed;
then key right -> scrpt ed -> x+=speed;

happy? this is simple var stuff

Don't set the condition in global script.

Use the variables tab to create the variable speed; if you want it to be set on game startup, use

view>createactor>

and set the variable to an amount in there.



Ge doesn't like certain things done in global script, don't ask me why.

Peedalein, did you type this in the Global code:

Code: Select all

int Speed=10;

or

Code: Select all

#define Speed 10

Both method should work...

Hello!

I did not think about the view actor being a storage for my variables. Thanks for pointing out.

Code: Select all

int Speed=10;

This did not work for me. The problem is that I already had the variable declared. Therefore I just had to define the value as in

Code: Select all

#define Speed 10

Thanks to all for helping a newbie

Because the variable is already defined, you can use:

Code: Select all

Speed = 10;

He has already did...

If you are going to #define variables you should name them in such a way that it reminds you that they cannot be changed. Traditionally you would do this with all capitals.

#define SPEED 10
