Global Value Bug?

[warlords]

Hi I have a problem with global value in my game?

1.First you write two names in frame 1 the click ok
2. In frame two some one wins, select one...it jumps to frame 3
3. In Frame 3 you get the one who wins and click back (jump to frame 1)

If you repeat this many times, it will not show the right name in frame 3?????

What is wrong in my app.?

Can some tell me that?

Thanks

Hi Warlords,

In frame 1 under the start of the frame

set global value A to 0 and
set global value B to 0
I did that and it seemed to solve your problem. I hope that helps

In my asteroid type game I am having a similar problem with the global values
I' am finding that occasionally the game jumps to the next frame before all the objects are destroyed it doesn't happen all the time.
Is that the thing to use to count objects destroyed. I've also tried the counter object and that had the same problem.
Now that I have created all the objects separately rather than using the same ones repeated it's a lot better but it still happens although rarely now.

Thanks Mat75

I did not know it, but there seem to be working .... in the example I send you.

I tryed to do it in my game, and was testing it. It still add a wrong name sometimes?

Do CT know this problem?

This is not a bug.

You are not resetting Global Value A or Global Value B, so even if you switch, Global Value B still = 1 so in Frame 3, it will always display the second name.

Hi Danny

Thanks I didn't know you should do that, I learned someting today
Also I have used Global value C and D in my game, that's why I though it would not work right, but it do now

I recommend doing this:
When player 1 wins, Set Global A to 1
When player 2 wins, Set Global A to 2

Sorry for the offtopic question but BartekB, what did you use to make that animated GIF? That looks like a very useful tool for capturing instructions without actually making a video.

I used GifCam (The program) and GifTime (The Upload Website because the forum didn't allow me to nor dropbox). GifCam is actually pretty easy to use and it doesn't uses as that much size for a gif, as for GifTime you just upload and copy the image URL. :P
