do I have to hide and show it again, or is there another way?

But what's the code to increase the money amount?

I use $ money += earn

do I have to hide and show it again That's the only way I know. I would recommend (if you know how) building a function that both updates the money and refreshes (re-shows) the screen. That way you won't ever forget to update the screen. okay thanks a lot. I've seen you answering quite some questio...

Code: Select all

screen show_money():

label start:
    
    default money = 10
    
    show screen show_money
    
    "test"

it works, but is there a way to adjust the size and the position?

Maybe I'm asking quite some questions lately but, how do I show a variable in the right corner of the screen, I would like the player to see how much coins he has, and how much points. I've tried looking for how ui.text works but I just can't see how to style them and place them. thanks for your help.

Basically have nothing but the timer in it. This is test code that worked for me: label start: $ test_var = 0 show screen invi pause "[test_var]" screen invi: timer 1.0 repeat True action SetVariable("test_var", test_var+10) I think I can make it work with that, thanks.

So, my my visual novel, I update it ever couple of weeks, and whenever I add new variables in, I tend to get an error for the new variable not being defined when I continue from a save file and progress to the new content. I started using the Default tag with my new variables, and for the most part...

I'm afraid you'll have to test it yourself. I suspect what you can do is just add an invisible screen that's always showing but doesn't conflict with anything.

and how does an invisible screen work?

Will the overlay function help place images over the textbox?

its easier to just have every combination in your image folder, it would also prevent a lot of problems.
I've had a similair thing in a previous game.

i tried this but it says it expects a statement

I think the code may look something like this:

Code: Select all

timer 60.0 repeat action SetVariable('money', money + income)

does this work no matter what screen you're on?

I wanted to make a script that would add a variable to another variable every minute.

for example I have variable "money" and I want to add variable "income" to it every 60 seconds, no matter on which label/screen the player currently is.

thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help, Helia!! I tried out your suggestion and it turned out that /extras/google/play_apk_expansion and /extras/google/play_licensing didn't even exist in rapt/android-sdk-r24.4.1. I did have those files in my older version of RAPT (android-sdk-r23) so I copied them over without rena...
