Lives

[cheesemonkey]

I am making a game where if you collect 100 energy capsules you get an extra life, I have all the text actors to do it but I am not sure how to do it.

Player -> collision, any side of energy capsule ->
script editor:

Code: Select all

Capsule += 1; // the "Capsule" is an integer variable which you create yourself
if(Capsule > 100)
{Lives += 1;} // the same goes for "Lives"

and you can let the text actors display the variables.
for example:

Code: Select all

Capsuletextactor.textNumber = Capsule;

hope that helped

wouldn't that cause it to keep on getting lives once it is above 100?

[cheesemonkey]

Yeah, once it gets to 100 if you collect any more capsules it makes a life for every capsule you pick up.

You can put

Code: Select all

Capsule - 0

and it will reset the capsule count, making a loop type thing, or if, you want to keep getting more and every hundred get an extra life, make a new variable, which at the start is set to 100. When you collect a capsule, compare with this variable instead of one hundred, and increase it when you get the extra life:

Code: Select all

Capsule ++;
if (Capsule >= lifeScore)
{
    Lives ++;
    lifeScore += 100;
}
