I am making a game where if you collect 100 energy capsules you get an extra life, I have all the text actors to do it but I am not sure how to do it.

Player -> collision, any side of energy capsule ->
script editor:

Code: Select all

Capsule += 1; // the "Capsule" is an integer variable which you create yourself
if(Capsule > 100)
{Lives += 1;} // the same goes for "Lives"

and you can let the text actors display the variables.
for example:

Code: Select all

Capsuletextactor.textNumber = Capsule;

hope that helped

wouldn't that cause it to keep on getting lives once it is above 100?

Yeah, once it gets to 100 if you collect any more capsules it makes a life for every capsule you pick up.

You can put

Code: Select all

Capsule - 0

and it will reset the capsule count, making a loop type thing, or if, you want to keep getting more and every hundred get an extra life, make a new variable, which at the start is set to 100. When you collect a capsule, compare with this variable instead of one hundred, and increase it when you get the extra life:

Code: Select all

Capsule ++;
if (Capsule >= lifeScore)
{
    Lives ++;
    lifeScore += 100;
}

Cool, that helped a lot, thanks.
