  • Thanks for the very informative reply.

    Now I feel like I understand the wait concept much better.

  • dop2000

    from your explanation:

    Wait 0.5s

    Add 1 to variable

    Add 1 to variable

    Add 1 to variable

    Add 1 to variable

    Add 1 to variable

    Add 1 to variable

    Add 1 to variable

    Add 1 to variable

    Add 1 to variable

    Add 1 to variable

    I see that the wait is executed only once, at the start, while the add action is repeated 10 times...

    How does your trick fix this? Also, how does your trick not increase the wait time between steps the more times the loop is executed?

    Also, thanks for taking the time and effort to explain! :)

    So that I'll understand better when and why to use the wait action, could you please elaborate why it is executed only once when it is a part of a loop? Why do I need to use the 'trick' dop2000 suggested instead of using the regular wait action?

    Thanks!

  • dop2000 Thanks! your solution worked:)

    but I get the same behavior even when I put the wait BEFORE the other actions (see pic)

  • So I'm trying to achieve the following behavior:

    -subtract 1 from variable X

    -update text that displays variable X's value

    -wait 0.5

    repeat the above steps for Y times. when I enter any value of Y (e.g.27) the behavior I get is a one-step subtraction of Y from X (instead of subtracting 1 each time, until Y-worth of 1's have been subtracted).

    I get the exact same behavior when using 'repeat' instead of 'for'.

    Can one not use 'wait' inside loops? If so, how to achieve desired behavior?

    can anyone shed light?

    Thanks! :)

  • So I've set an instance Boolean to be changed on mouse click, but it always becomes inactive (conditions referring to it do not trigger) and in the variable screen the Boolean designation is crossed out (see pic).

    What's going on?

    Thanks!

  • Thanks!

  • So I have a coin and the following logic:

    if coin overlaps tile (which it does in the attached example), wait 2.5sec and flash coin for 1 sec.

    What I get:

    system waits 2.5 sec, then sets the coin visibility to false...

    What's going on here? What am I missing?

    Thanks a ton!

  • So I have an array of integers, and I want to make sure no two numbers within the array are the same.

    If they are the same, change one of them to something else and run the check for duplicates again (until there are no duplicate numbers).

    Any ideas on how to implement that?

    Thanks a ton! :-)

  • What will be the simplest approach to implementing a pop-up?

    requirement - when popup appears nothing outside the popup is clickable until popup is closed

    Thanks for any ideas!

    Umm... How do I create the 'loopIndex<1000' part within construct?

    Can't seem to find this condition..

    Thanks again.
