Re: How do I Toggle a VAR on and off? (SOLVED)

Ok, this should be simple but I've tried everything I know and I can't get it to work. I'm making an Infinite driving game with my Son (Up and down on the Y) and I want to add a gear shift to the car. So the car is controlled with the arrow keys (up,down,left,right on set to angle, not 8 behavior) I have a VAR called gears and when the up arrow is pressed it adds 1 to the Var and when the down arrow is pressed it subtracts 1. So you start in 1st gear and you can go up to 5 gears each one speeding up or slowing down the speed on the BGRoad Var.

Now what I want to happen is when the Gear Var gets to 5 it stops at that speed level even if you hit the up arrow again it doesn't say 6 or 7 and when it's in 1st gear it stops there. not -1, -2 and so on. The text is set to the VAR so one should fix the other...

Thank you in advance and I hope I explained it properly.

Thanks

On Up Pressed - Set GearVar to min(5,GearVar+1)

On Down Pressed - Set GearVar to max(0,GearVar-1)

Thank you I'll let you know. I do appreciate the help.

I appreciate the help but maybe I'm not following or explaining it correctly so maybe this will help.

I need it to stop at 5 (5th Gear) even if you keep left-clicking and stop at 0 (Stop Game) even if you keep right-clicking...

How do I tell the GearsVar not to keep adding or subtracting once it reaches a certain number even if the button is clicked again?

Thank you

Remove the the add and subtract actions, and then remove the conditions that compare the gear variable. It should look like what he typed above.

R0J0hound and oosyrag Thank you both for the help I was coming to mark this solved because what I did was just change the condition from if=5 to if=6 and from if=1 to if= -1 and it seems to work. Now R0J0 if you feel your way is better I will try that so there are no hiccups down the road...

let me know please

Thank you my friends...

After thought, OK I get it! Remove mine and add yours not both correct? Duhhhh OK thanks.

THAT WAS IT!!!! Thank You Very Much...
