Best way to tap multiple times to destroy?

jigglybean · January 2014

Hey all
I am looking for the best way to make the following happen. I have had a little play around but still struggling to make it work properly

Essentially I want the user to tap an object 5 times, then destroy the actor.

Any ideas? thanks in advance

@jigglybean, what problem are you encountering?

Use the "Rule:Actor receives event Touch is released" to increment an Attribute and prevent it from adding multiple times while the object is beeing pressed.

I'd do something like this:

create a local attribute on the actor called count


when touch is pressed
count = count +1

when count >= 5
destroy actor

the reason I put count >= 5 is if they hit the actor too quick it could jump from 4 to 6 and miss the value of 5.

Ah yes! I will give this a try...cheers
