Help on animated counter

[LittleRainySeasons]

This is something that is bugging me for months and I need help on this.
So what I'm doing is a score counter. And my plan is that the numbers would roll when points automatically gets deducted or earned in the game.

I used this code to do it:

Code: Select all

label arcadetesuto:
    $ chances = renpy.random.randint(1, 2)
    $ winningtickets = 0
    
    $ cash -= 50
    
    if chances == 1:
        $ winningtickets += 50
        show screen arcadetest(50)
        
        "Congratulations! You win!!"
        
    else:
        "Better luck next time!"
        
    $ tickets += winningtickets
    
    hide screen arcadetest
    jump playarcade
    
screen arcadetest(maximum):
    $ winningtickets = tickets
    text "[tickets]" pos (645, 225) font "gui/PressStart2P-Regular.ttf" size (18) color ("#f83800")
    if winningtickets < maximum:
        timer 0.01 action [SetScreenVariable("winningtickets", winningtickets +2), SetScreenVariable("tickets", winningtickets)] repeat True

Unfortunately there is a problem:
It only shows the rolling on the first win but in the second win, it does not add up at all.

Pardon if my coding isn't that good. I'm trying my best to come up with a solution for it and I can't seem to figure it out.

Doesn't look like that would run (for instance, there's no screen variable tickets) but I assume it's down to editing for posting. In any case, here's a simple running counter.

Code: Select all

default tickets = 0

label start:
    "Start"
    $ tickets += 50
    show screen running_counter(tickets, 50)
    pause
    hide screen running_counter
    $ tickets -= 20
    show screen running_counter(tickets, -20)
    pause

screen running_counter(end, increment):
    default current_val = end - increment
    text str(current_val)
    if increment > 0:
        if current_val < end:
            timer 0.01 action SetScreenVariable("current_val", current_val+1) repeat True
    else:
        if current_val > end:
            timer 0.01 action SetScreenVariable("current_val", current_val-1) repeat True

    else:
        if current_val > end:
            timer 0.01 action SetScreenVariable("current_val", current_val-1) repeat True

I tried this code and somehow it didn't work. It says that "current_val" isn't defined.

Nope. It works.

[LittleRainySeasons]

Nope. It works.

I get an error when I tried it.

Edit: I did finally get it to work but the number always drop to "49" when it decreases by 50.
