Create a Counter

I was wondering how you would create a counter that would count up to the player's score iteratively and you would see it go up from 0, 1, 2, 3. Am I doing it wrong?

Simplest way I can think of is:

Create a global variable counter

system every 0.5 seconds

system compare two values counter < score

• system add 1 to counter
• currentscore set text to counter

Simplest way I can think of is:

Create a global variable counter

system every 0.5 seconds

system compare two values counter < score

- system add 1 to counter

- currentscore set text to counter

Perhaps add something like:

maxcounttime = 180 (3 sec x 60 ticks per sec)

scorecounter = int(score / maxcounttime)

every tick

sub int(text.text) < score

action: set text.text = int(text.text) + scorecounter

This theoretically would give a 3 second counting function to count from 0 to your score.

I suggest this because, if you would have a very high score, the counting could take long. this function dynamically reduces counting to 3 seconds (180 ticks).

That's why I said "the simplest way", haha..

There's always room for adding extra stuff..

Thanks guys. I guess it's the equivalent of a while loop.
