Help with Scoring

Anywho...

I am trying to make a doodle jump type game (with a few weird and hopefully fun twists) and I am trying to think of a way to do the scoring. I want the score to be based on how high you get, but I don't want to simply display the Y value for the main actor because then it will go up and down with each jump. I would like the score to calculate the max Y of the actor. Then when you get to the next level this value needs to be stored so you can keep adding to it.

Any ideas on how to do this?

Would it work to make a rule that says when linear.velocity.y is >0 change game.score to position.y or something like that?

Try this:

create an attribute called Score

then create a rule:
when player.Y > game.Score
update attribute game.Score = player.Y

in theory, every time the Y value goes above score, it'll update.

good idea! I can't wait to try it. I'll let you know.

Thanks a lot!
