textNumbers keeping values between activation regions

[J Maker]

does anybody know of a way to have cloned textNumbers to keep their value between activation regions? im making an inventory/store where u can buy upgrades and the textNumbers represent money and lives. when the view leaves the activation region and moves back, the text numbers reset.

Set variable counterparts to the textNumber. Really you should do this anyways, as using textNumbers can create problems, like this. What you should do is have a text actor display a variable, that way it is not dependent on the actor. So instead of having a text actor number signify money, you should create a variable money and have the text actor's number equal that.

Code: Select all

textNumber=money;
