Help needed with experience triggered events

Hello all,

I am still very new to C2 and have a question.

I have a layout representing a planet and for the player to leave this planet he needs a flying skill of 5. I have a global variable called "Flying"

In the layout is a flightschool button ("LearnToFlyButton") with the following event:

Mouse->On left button clicked LearnToFlyButton->

Followed by the following two actions:

System->Add 1 to Flying

FlyingText-> Set text to "Flying skill: " & Flying

And I have a Textbutton "Depart planet" ("DepartButton") with the following (incomplete) event:

Mouse->on left button clicked DepartButton ->System-> go to Galaxy Layout***

*** Now the player should only be able to depart the planet once his flying skills reach 5 and only then "Go to Galaxy Layout" action should happen. But I'm lost at the monent...

QUESTIONS:

1) What does my Event sheet need to make this happen? What I would like is that, when clicking on the 'Depart Planet" button and the player's flying skills are LESS than 5, it should give like an error-message aswell.

2) I would like to add triggers that set off when the player reaches e.g. flying skill 50, 100, 200 enabling him to do new things due to increasing experience. What do I need for this?

Thanks you very much for your time and help, Regards from the Netherlands.

Events can have more than one condition. So the value of Flying becomes an additional condition required to trigger the event... and then you can have an "Else" that gives a "your flying is too low" message if their skill isn't high enough.

Thank you for replying Televangelist.

Could you please clarify that with an example?

Thank you so much,

Rizo

Mark the event "Mouse->on left button clicked DepartButton ->System-> go to Galaxy Layout***" and press C on your keyboard to add another Condition. Go to System, campare variable "flying skills > 5"

Then mark that event and press X on your keyboard to make an else event and do whatever you want to there

Thanks for clarifying Detteman,

I was able to add the" flying skill greater/equal to 5" condition which enables the player to leave the planet

but after that it won't let me add an else event

I tried to come up with an alternative and made a second event but now with a "flying skill lower than 5" condition attached. In the attached action I show a text-message saying that 'flying skills are too low'. Problem now is that this message won't dissapear once I hit a flying skill of 5.

Any idea why it wouldn't let me add an 'else'? Again here is the event:

Mouse-> On left button clicked BUTTON-> Go to Galacy Layout

System-> Flying >5 (=Second condition in same event)

I think I got it working, but I'm not sure if it's 'pretty';

Event #1:

System-> Flying <5 -> BUTTON-> set text to "To depart planet, first raise your flying skills to 5"

Event #2:

System-> else -> BUTTON -> Set text to "Click to visit another planet"

Event #3:

Mouse-> On left button clicked on BUTTON -> System -> Go to Galaxy Layout

System -> Flying (Greater equal then) 5 -> (= this is the second condition of event #3)

Am I on the right track?

Sorry! Of course you cant add an else to that condition. What you should do is create an event with sub-events. Something like this:

Condition - Button pressed

sub-event - flying skill >= 5 - Do this

sub-event - flying skill < 5 - Do that (or you can make THIS an 'else')

All this will be in one event.

To add a sub-event just mark the event and press S. Or right click on the event and choose sub-event.

Got it working, thanks!
