How do I do something every Nth time?

Hi!

I have two global numbers (a, b) and i want to add "b" 1 when "a" equals to 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, ...etc. How to do that?

You could simply use the System-Compare two values condition.

First value would be Global variable "a", and compare values would be "10|20|30|40..." etc then set Action to add 1 to Global 'b'.

Yes, it would be simple, but I still want to add 1 to "b" when "a" is 18965484848321850. It's impossible to do it by the way you said because number "a" has no limits. So i hope there's an easier way to do it.

What does "a" represent?

If you are saying that "a" could be any unknown numerical value, then without some kind of algorithm or boundary, it will be impossible to test.

First you have to understand when you want to check the b's value; my guess is that you will check it when b changes value, so in that event you can put the comparing.

Hi see if this helps

To make things clear: I have a sprite. When It's clicked its gonna add 1 to "a". I want to make when "a" reaches 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and so on to add 1 to "b". Like this:

a=10 b=1

a=340 b=34

a=555 b=55

a=29 b=2

a=340 b=34

a=555 b=55

a=29 b=2

Try "On sprite clicked" > "Add 1 to value "a"" & "Set value "b" to (floor(a/10))".

Thanks It works now!!!

You're welcome! I saw screenshot of your event sheet, better use sprite font instead of text object, using text objects can kill performance.
