Hallo Klaus!

in my game, there is a level system. when you have 10 money, the btn levelUpFa is enabling. you click it, you loose 10 money, and you earn +1 money each second. i did it with my old code, but with yours i dont really know where to check my money ect..can you help me?
thanks

Hm, this is a completely new situation and may require some changes in your workflow.
What did you write in your old script?

[kelyanok]

let me remember:

Code: Select all

...
if aMoney > 9
then
   enable btn "levelUp1"
end if
...

something like that. i tried to put this code after the "add 1 to aMoney" but it enabled the btn at like 1 money..

Hm, let me see...
Maybe remove the givemoney handler from the button and put it into the stack script and let it accept one parameter,
so you can call it from everywhere.

Code: Select all

global give_money_id

## So we can pass any number (also negative numbers like -10)
command give_me_your_money the_amount_of_money

   ## If we do not pass a number, the handler will use 1 (for your periodic money adding):
  if the_amount_of_money = EMPTY then
    put 1 into the_amount_of_money
  end if
 
   ## Mouse is still DOWN.
   ## We can add something directly to a field, as long as the field contains a number!
   add the_amount_of_money to fld "moneyfield"

   ## LC will first examine the values in parens, so we can do this "Boolean" trick :-)
   set the enabled of btn "levelUp1" to (fld "moneyfield" > 9)

   ## We will SEND this handler only if we add 1 = periodic adding of money!
  ## This way we can use it to just add or subtract any value <> 1 from the "moneyfield"
   if the_amount_of_money <> 1 then
     exit give_me_your_money
   end if

   send "give_me_your_money" to me in 1 secs
   put the result into give_money_id
end give_me_your_money

So when clicking the button which steals you 10 "money" you can:

Code: Select all

on mouseup
   give_me_your_money -10
end mosueup

Understand what I am doing here? Ask if not!

Hi Klaus,

Apologies if you misinterpret my post as "hijack".

The OP stated: "but the problem is that if you run a repeat, you cant press buttons or do anything." which is exactly the scenario I posted about too. I understand how the OP's question has developed into a somewhat different scenario but at the time I posted I did feel that I was discussing the same situation. Perhaps, adopting a positive and optimistic approach, it might be possible to share resources and benefit from each other's posts. Jean-Marc's assistance might be useful to the money game?

But I guess that is not the way this forum is supposed to function so, again, I apologise for upsetting you.

Best wishes,
Tim

Hi Tim,

I am not upset, you will notice if I am!
It is just about the clearness of this forum, sorry if I might have sounded too harsh.

hello Klaus

i didnt saw your answer, i did this:

Code: Select all

if aMoney > 9
   then
      enable btn "levelUpFa"
   else
   end if

so this works, but i copy paste it just after it to enable a btn when you are a 100, but didnt worked.. so: 1. is my code right? and 2. if it is not, what should i do? simply use your code?
thanks

[kelyanok]

oh nevermind, i misspelled something. it works.

[Klaus]

Okie Dokie!
Hint: If you don't have an ELSE case, you don't need to mention it

Code: Select all

...
##if aMoney > 9
##   then
##      enable btn "levelUpFa"
##   else
##   end if
...
if aMoney > 9 then
      enable btn "levelUpFa"
end if
...

[kelyanok]

oh ok. I'll think about it next time thanks
