Collectable

Hey,

I've set up a collectible system with a counter so when I pick up a coin a text box displays: Player.coins / 21.

However, I don't have the same amount of coins per layout. Is there a way to make construct check how many coin instances are in the layout and display something like: Player.coins / number of coins in layout.

Thanks

Hiya, number of coins in layout is coins.count

Thanks,

But I am having a little trouble.

Is the expression like this: Player.Crates & " / " Coins.Count

Or: Player.Crates & " / Coins.Count"

It does not work either way

It's the first one with an & before Coins.count. It is an expression, don't put it inside ""

Coins is the object, whatever you called it.

Thanks I got it working but, as I pick up the coins the counter goes down.

So it starts at: 0/21

I pick up all my coins

And it ends at: 21/0

Is there a way to have it end at: 21/21

At the start of layout, set a global variable to be Coins.count, then set the text to show the global variable.

Ok I got it working.

I am having issues with the global setting though. I set my text object to global and on the first layout works like a charm. On the second however, it appears but is not set to the UI layer which has 0,0 parallax.

How would I make it spawn on layout 2's UI layer?

Keep the layers the same across the layouts and it'll be fine. If it's on layer 4 (by order, not name) on layout 1 it will remain on layer 4 in the list on layout 2.

Thanks!!!

It's working now
