[Solved] How can I use it as an "action"?

#1 Post by Nanahs »

If "Coin" starts with 0. Like this:

Code: Select all

    $ Coins=0
I wanted a button that would increase the value of coins when being clicked.

Like:

Code: Select all

    $ Coins += 1
How can I make an "action" that would do that?
I wanted to use an image of coins to create an imagebutton with that "action".

Image

I've only seen this being used, and I have only used, this with "if" statement and menu choice.
So I'm not sure if it's possible.

Thanks.

You can make a screen with the button

Code: Select all

textbutton "Get coin" action SetVariable("Coins", Coins+1) # name of variable in quotes (you named it with capital C)

But as always, remember you should be initializing your variables like this:

Code: Select all

default coins = 0
rather than like this

Code: Select all

$coins =  0

It's working great! Thanks!
Just one question. If I wanted to stablish a limit, how would it be?

Like, if you could only get 10 coins, and after this imagebutton wouldn't add more coins when clicked.

I tried a few things like "max_coins=10", etc and a few other codes, but they didn't work.

Thanks.

It would be

Code: Select all

textbutton "Get coin" action If(Coins<10, SetVariable("Coins", Coins+1), None)
