Problems with Scoring and Life

[Mazerwulf]

I promise to make this my last thread for at least the remainder of the week. D:

I am making a proof of concept for a touch game. Basically the game is this:

Colored objects fall from the top of the screen. There is an icon that changes colors indicating which one of the colored objects you need to click on. If you click on the wrong colored object, you lose some health.

Now, I have the objects falling at random. I also have a counter set up to change the icon's color indicating what color you need to click on. However, the scoring and health doesn't always register. Sometimes you'll lose health for clicking on the proper icon and sometimes you won't get scored. I am assuming this has something to do with how the counter's change of #s works but I cannot seem to figure out exactly what is causing it.

If I have the counter fixed (with no random changes), the health and score works perfectly but when I add the random timer/restriction to it that is when the problems start.

Assistance, as always, is super appreciated!

If you move your Which to Attack counter onto the screen you can see clicking the ball associated with the number still works. Your Attack ball just isn't displaying the correct animation. I messed around with it a little and for some reason it seems to come from using directions. If you make separate animations for them(stopped, walking, running etc) then the Attack ball's animation updates correctly

or if instead of using the function "Animation" > "Change" > "Direction of Animation"
use "Direction" > "Select Direction"
This also works if you prefer to use the same kind of logic.

It's like bobjuzz said, for some reason the animation is not being updated correctly and does not correspond to the actual color that is selected some times.

Worked perfectly! Thank you everyone.
