Modulus Function Help

I want a scenario where when a block goes off screen, it adds to a counter, call it "blockcount" (which I already have got going). Once "blockcount" is divisible by 10 completely, I want the value of block count to pass into another attribute. I think I need to use the modulus function but I don't really know how. Any ideas?

    Have a new variable and constain it to blockcount%10. Then have a rule when newvariable = 0, do your passing of blockcount to wherever

    Try this instead.
    game.ConstantZero = 0
    Rule: if game.ConstantZero = mod(game.blockCount,10)

    1 less constrain, and try to shift over to using the mod(x,y) function instead of %.

    That will work fine but you also have to make sure it doesn't trigger when blockcount equals zero.

    If you want to avoid a constrain behavior, create an integer attribute named game.ZERO and give it a value of zero. Then, create a rule that says When [all conditions] attribute game.blockcount>0 AND game.ZERO=game.blockcount%10 ... [rules]

    I assume you're wanting to keep a tens counter or something along those lines?

    So it would be:

    When attribute game.blockcount>0 AND game.ZERO=game.blockcount%10
    .....Change Attribute game.tensCount to game.tensCount+1
    .....Change Attribute game.blockcount to 0

    Good point. Would be even easier if you guys allowed the editor to work on the left side of equations. Any way that'll happen?

    Thanks everyone for the quick response! Got it working all well.
