edited November -1 in Working with GS (Mac)
I have a game where I collect treasure like coins - Gems etc.

How I would set up achievements to be unlocked when 50 gems is collected 100 gems etc

lasted over 200 seconds without dying something like that..

Please be really specific

Thank you : )

    Make Bolean for each achievement.
    And make a rule in on actor:
    If GameCoinCounts Greater than 200
    Chane attribute 200CoinsAchivements To True

    Is that simple.

    No luck, Boolean only comes up with True or False Values

    Yes Bool only comes with true or false. This is how you should do it.

    1. First make a Attribute and name it "coinCount" (or whatever u like) and choose integers.
    2. Change this attribute whenever you collected the coins. (you can look at sample templates on how to do this).
    3. Then make another attributes for your achievements name it "Unlock50Coins" (or whatever u decide again) but this time set this one to Bool.
    4. Now on your coin actor make rule that if your "coinCount = 50 change the attribute of "Unlock50Coins" to true.
    5. Now on your unlockable actor. Set what image you like if "Unlock50Coins" is True or False.

    sorry if its a bit confusing. I've just started Gs as well but i hope you got the idea.

    I think it worked! Does it save it perminatly? cause the actor ( was set to destroy to reveal actor behind it ) and it's staying gone :O cool! I think it's right :D

    nope it wont save by itself. you need to use the save and load attributes. Tshirtbooth has a good sample tutorial for this one.

    Hmm,

    It didn't work after all but, It does work, but as soon as I collect one coin it does it, but im trying to do it for when it collects 10.

    do I need to set up an attribute on the collecting actor that's a rule for when the coin is collected InterCoin + 1?

    Thats my best guess unless you know what im doing wrong?

    you can set it like this.

    create a rule so that when your actor collide to the coin(if thats how your gameplay works) change attribute "Intercoin" = "Intercoin +1".

    The Intercoin must be a general attribute so you could access it all through out the game. Then make a rule on your unlockable actor to check if "Intercoin = 10" then you could change it graphics and do whatever you want.

    No luck :/ Keeps doing it on one coin.. But this has helped me understand how Integers and Booleans work a lot more Thank you so much for that so it's not a complete loss.

    But I remain Puzzled.

    Glad that i could help. Anyways you could use this technique to check why it keeps on unlocking at 1 coin.
