  Dumb error on my part. I made a change and added a sub-event (system > trigger once) and moved the array addition there. Magic. Thanks for the help!

  Hey there. Trying to learn arrays and got some of the basics down (or so I thought) and wanted to practice adding entries on a simple 1d array. However the results in the text box aren't what I was trying to accomplish.

  

  

  Any advice or constructive criticism is appreciated.

  Hey C3. Thought this was a good idea but now not so sure. Essentially I'm trying to get a value from a json file and set it to a dictionary entry. I tried setting the value to a global variable but that didn't work either.

  

  

  I want the value of apple seeds to be random number pulled from the range defined in the array as next will be orange seeds. Like I said, this may not be the way to go which I will respect if you can offer up what the right direction would be.

  As always, thank you for your time!

  Ahhh ok. I thought I did that with the mouse click on orange >> capture the uid // set the orange Id and then the next action was to use that Id. Hmm. Is there an example I can browse? I hate tying you up with these dumb questions.

  Got it. That makes sense. Now, how do I pick without text? That part I can’t grasp

  Hey lionz, thanks for the reply.

  I’m not sure what you mean by going off the text. Is there something I need to change with what I have ?

  Hey C3 world.

  In this example, I'm creating the orange "sprite" at a random location. What I want to accomplish next is to click on one of those oranges and add to the orange's instance variable "freckles" (by clicking on the green button). However that is not what is occurring. Somehow the freckles value increases for the first orange I click on and add freckles to but not when I click on other oranges.

  Help is very appreciated.

  Hey CS World. I've looked through the available examples on game design/programming on the CS3 site however I didn't see one that was more geared towards a resource management game (if it's there, I apologize. Please post link)

  I'm looking for one that identified how to do something like; build some fields, choose what to grow in the fields, build storage, etc.

  Plenty of shooters and dungeon crawlers but I figured someone somewhere along the way used CS3 for that and showed how they did it. I appreciate your time and suggestions.

  Thanks.

  NewA is the amount of A you're trying to add.

  That's it! Not sure why I made it so difficult in my head but I got it now. Thanks again for the answer and your patience.

  So a+min(newa,totalspace-(a+b+c))

  resourceA+min(resourceA,totalspace-(resourceA+B+C))

  I can't figure out what value "newA" is. Sorry man.

  Follow-up question. When there are two or more resources (apples/oranges/limes), could I use the same code but in a different way? By adding a second resource, the total dry storage goes over the capacity again.

  When adding resources,

  Set resources to min(resources+added resources,maximumresources)

  Freaking GENIUS! Thank you very much.

  Hey everyone.

  As the title suggests, the game produces a resource every 2 seconds (set low threshold to aid in trouble-shooting). The quantity of that resource is included in the global variable "Total_Dry_RSS". Another global variable "Total_Dry_Storage_Capacity" is the max amount of all the dry resources that can be stored.

  However, if the storage capacity is 100 and the total dry rss is 80, in 2 seconds, the resource goes up 30 or whatever and shows as 110. How can I get the resource to increase but not past the cap?

  

  Thank you!

  If you're around winstreak, I would appreciate it.
