Scoring problem

[stillhawk]

Greetings All,

I have a series of events in a frame like this:

If player clicks in Pic1_zone1, circle is drawn in Pic1_zone1.
If player clicks in Pic1_zone1, circle is drawn in Pic2_zone1.
If player clicks in Pic2_zone1, circle is drawn in Pic1_zone1.
If player clicks in Pic2_zone1, circle is drawn in Pic2_zone1.

This pattern is repeated for several different zones in the same frame.

I want to keep score such that only 1 pt is added to the score when any of the 4 events in a zone occur.

What do I need to do to keep score this way?

Thanks,
Stillhawk

add an action that adds 1 to a global value (or a counter or some other value) every time one of the events occurs.

Then when the global value equals 4 add 1 to the score and set the global value back to 0

Thanks but that won't work.

The player is clicking a zone in either in pic1 or pic2. The 4 events are to ensure that circles are drawn in both pics.

I also need to be sure that ONLY 1 POINT is awarded for clicking in the zone in either pic. In other words, only 1 point is awarded for each zone.

I want to show points like this: # of points /6 (6 being the max)

I thought grouping might help so I have a Group for each Zone but I haven't gotten any further.

Any ideas are welcome.

By the way, I want to thank you for the beginner video tutorial. It was fabulous. I watched as much as I could several times. Unfortunately I was unable to get the last 7 or 8 lessons. I tried it several times but it just didn't load the entire tutorial (I have DSL at 1024). Also the load times are really long. Would you consider breaking the tutorial into like 30 minute segments? That would also make it easier to re-watch any lessons.

Thanks

I am aware of the long load times. I will probably have time to fix it on Friday. Thanks for letting me know.

I am still not understanding your problem. Maybe someone else does.

Just add 0.5 to the counter per circle.
