How do I "control" the scoring board?

how do i create a condition that says: if the sprite's x=290 enable the scoring board? i think i need to use a trigger but i dont know how

-thanks

use System - Compare two values for condition. set first value Sprite.X

not sure what you mean by enabling scoring board, but you can use Sprite - set visible or fade behavior

Player for instances i want my character to score only while is on a certain platform whose x's coordinte is 290, so when (for example) jumps i want to pause the scoring process until he gets back to that platform

your sprite -> compare x -> equal to 290

add this event to

system -> every 0.5 seconds event

you shouldn't be using x=290 for that would only be true if the character is exactly at x=290

Even at x=290.5 or x=291 or 289 nothing will happen..

the platform is most likely wider than 1 pixel so that wont work..

maybe using a condition in which you reference this specific platform or is overlapping at offset would work, but that all depends on how you have your layout and events set up..

LittleStain i know i compared the values so when the sprite is around that area it will set x to 290
