How do I make an object grow?

I have a coin object. I want it to grow i size when the player touches it.

I can only see how to instantly change it to another size. I want it to grow steadily in size.

Player is overlapping "Coin"

Every [delay] seconds

-Coin

set size to self.width+[value], self.height+[value]

If the player touches it and moves away I want the effect to still happen.

Currently the effects are triggered "On collision with Player"

How do I have the coin grow in size in this event?

Make a boolean for the coin object "grow"

Player is overlapping "Coin"

Coin set grow to true

Coin

Is grow

Every [delay] seconds

set size to self.width+[value], self.height+[value]

Won't this make all coins on the screen grow and not just the one the player touched?

Did you set the boolean to false by default?

Should only affect the coins that have the "grow" boolean active

Ahh an instance variable I see. I was thinking global variable for some reason

Thanks that should work perfectly

How do I include "every [delay] seconds" in the conditions for the grow event?

Currently I have a Coin event:

condition: Is Grow

action: Coin -> Set size to (self.Width + 1, self.Height + 1)

This works fine but what if I wanted to do it your way where it has a delay. Would that be another condition? I don't see a way to do an "every delay seconds" type of condition for an object. Only for system

If you select an event and press B you will make a sub-event. Sub-events will only happen if their parent event is activated and its own condition is correct

Awesome thanks again

No problem
