 |
|
Alright, I'm at my wits end writing a script for the Fangame Contest. So far everything is working except for one thing: the score keeper. I just want it to read the value of a global variable and update that value when the player's score changes.
Are there any good example scripts/tutorials that I've missed that could help?
EDIT: My problem is not variable-related, I can handle that, but what I'm having trouble with is getting the score value to show-up/update on screen during gameplay.
EDIT2: Hmm, now that I look at this post with a clear, non-caffeinated head, I guess I should include a script as well.
| Code: | plotscript, score, begin
global variable (1,score)
score := 0
show value (score)
if (this stuff happens)
then (increment (score,1))
if (this stuff happens)
then (decrement (score,1))
end |
I'm pretty sure that the variable itself is updating, but if it is, then the show value command isn't.

Correct. The "show value" command only shows the value of the variable at the instant when the "show value" is executed. It does not auto update. I suggest a script like this:
| Code: |
if(this stuff happens)
then(increment(score, 1), show value(score))
