  James, please not open always for the same question a new thread. Everyone will answer you the same: watch videos and read tutorials.

  There were so many things I'd change, I've created a second event sheet. Have a look.

  I see. Thanks!

  OK. The original issue got lost along the way. In the sample you had, set SUM_VAL = 0 in event 2, which is what I said originally. To generate the sum each iteration, you need to reset it to 0.

  Here's my updated example

  Sorry but I don't know where to put the SUM_VAL = 0 statement you suggested.

  Event 2 has no condition thus I expect SUM_VAL to always be 0 if I pasted taht there.

  Also, value is set to random 1,5 now for every click so I can compare to the brute force sum.

  Sprite:VALUE=1 -> SUM_VAL = Sprite.PickedCount

  Hi.

  I tried this modifying the picked count condition to

  Value > 0 yet the Picked Count still gives it a value of '1'.

  Using the brute force method I could have a values of 100s but the picked count method would still say '6'

  Sweet. I don't even understand how this works but thank you.

  A loop would do it. You have to reset your sum to 0 at the beginning.

  Fixed link.

  I don't understand. Wouldn't resetting sum every loop index give me the value of the last instance only?

  (0) Set SUM to 0, Add Sprite(loopindex).VALUE to SUM

  (1) Set SUM to 0, Add Sprite(loopindex).VALUE to SUM

  (2) Set SUM to 0, Add Sprite(loopindex).VALUE to SUM

  Can't find "Sprite Bank".

  Oh shoot that wasn't supposed to be there. You know how to do the summation though?

  I'm attempting to sum by loops but I'm getting endlessly increasing sum.

  Only way I found was to go brute force and sum every instance one by one.

  Speaking of jam, I've not read anything about it since C3 launch week.

  No news? No new blog posts?

  I can't animate either so I'm learning flat design.

  Look at these very simplistic art style:

  

  

  This game is the white HOT shit lately and it's been popping up in everyone's recommended list.

  Here are some guys working on games with simple design too but the games look good:

  Sadly this kind of conversations keep showing up. I do not understand all the negativity around the subscription model.

  I'm one the people who can't afford to pay for a subscription model so I understand the negativity but I don't understand why they keep talking about this to no end. The devs have already decided months ago.

  Wow, thank you. Amazing.

  No idea why this works, but it's great.

  I'll credit you in game!!!

  btw, I noticed you used anglelerp in your example. Yeah I agree it's much smoother than the 'rotate to position' which I used but the concept is the same. Just use anglelerp to the position of the beacon.
