Problem ending game with score/ time | Forums

[rlmergeuser]

I want my track to end whenever you reach a certain amount of points or when the time hits zero, heres what i have:

For time:
-impulse splitter set to interval 60
selected to
-set value event set to decrease 1
selected to
-variable data source
comparison value 1 to
-generic filter with comparison value 2 at 0
connected to
-interval trigger set to interval 60
on true
-end game

For scoring:
-5 area triggers
selected to
-5 set value event
selected to
-variable data source set at 0
comparison value 1 to
-generic filter with comparison value 2 at 250
on true
-end game event

ive looked at several tutorials and it looks exact but idk where the problem is

Make sure you are sending an impulse to the generic filters every tick using interval triggers. You also didn't say what the comparison was on your generic filters (Equal, less than, etc.) which might be the problem.

oh i meant interval trigger going to the generic filter, both generic filters are set to equals

Well, an easier way to do the time part is to just have one impulse sent right at the beginning of the game using the trigger of your choice. This impulse goes to a delay filter set at 60 seconds which then goes to an end game event. You could still use the variable data source as a count-down timer (The one I put in bold above), which I'm assuming you are already doing.

As for the score thing, given the description above, I can see two potential problems:

1. Make sure the set value events in red are set to "Increase" by 50.

2. You didn't specify above, so make sure you have an interval trigger with an interval of 1 going to the generic filter.

If none of that works, make sure you aren't making any silly mistakes, such as having an event turned off by accident.

Why is your generic filter connected to an interval trigger? This isn't needed, you can connect your filter directly to your end event, so that when the filter conditions are met, the game ends.

Never use "Equals" when you're watching a variable for it to reach a certain value. Always use less equals or greater equals. It's more robust that way, and it's guaranteed to still work in the event that the game engine has a skip in it.
