Duplicates

[Angelfox]

Ok i have been looking at the forum searching for answer to a duplicate problem

So simpicity, i will use a reference:
In the classic super mario bros. game there are blocks were if u collided with them, you would stop,change the block's animtaion, and get a ceratain amount of points added to your score.

I know how to do stop my character and change the animation, but i cant figure out how to add the points to the score.

i have spread values(1 is my first value).
These are my actions

Always:Start loop"block",NObject(block) times

On loop block, Player is overlapping block, current index of loop"block" equals ID (what i put the spread values into), then add 5 to score.

i have also replaced "Player is overlapping block" with player collides with block.

I think the problems is for the colliding one is that the action only happens when the ID of the object equals the loop index of loop"block". Thats when i changed it to overlapping

ok lets say i have 5 blocks.
Using the events from above, whenever i would collide or overlap, the score would go up continously. If i put in "only one action when event loops" then the score is added to only once. Also if i put repeat "x" amount of times, it goes up continously excepts that it stops at a certain value.

I have look at ALL tutorials and am unable to figure out how to get it so that when the player collides with the block, that the score will be added to.

In other words, if a person has already collided with a box, i dont want the score to be added to again. I am using duplicates and have looked at all of the tutorials on this forum, the dailyclick, and other community links. Help would be appreciated in detail and with step-by-step explanation

I have probably missed something or havent explained something clearly so if u need me to explain something, done hesitate to ask!

I figured it out

but i had to recode everything
in fact, using the tutorials made it worse

so i must be doing it wrong.
so could someone still answer my question from my previous post?

Well then you learned something! Time to pat yourself on the back
What was your previous post?

[Dynasoft]

Player collides with block
+ Flag 0 of block is off
- Add 5 to score
- Set flag 0 of block to on

??

Hey Angelfox, would you mind giving a little description on how you fixed it?

[DT]

If your blocks all share a Qualifier and they all have the same animations you could use the following:

If (qualifier) flag is 0
+ animation (x) has finished


add 5 points to score.

[Angelfox]

if you do any animation condition, dont do is animation (x) playing? thay only works for animations that loops

wat i do is then i want the animation to change, i do my conditions, then set a flag on

then i do if(condtion 1), and flag (x) is on, then(action)

Did you put the action for the player to fall down again? Just curious.

[Angelfox]

fall?

i put it so that when the player hits the block, the player stops
