Title: If x Points achieved you can collide with object
Post by: soccergames on September 06, 2017, 03:43:58 PM

I'm new to playmaker. I have done the point system for my game but now I'm trying to do end of level which is once you have x points you can go to door which should check if you have x amount then proceed to next level.

Right now I've been trying to do INT compare for the door to see if point is greater than X then let user collide with it.. but its not working out.

Any tips?

The Quick Way
Set your Int Compare action to run every frame, but that's not very efficient.

The Proper Way
Whenever you get points you also send a global event to the state with the Int Compare action.

At the bottom of the PlayMaker Editor you also have the option "Debug" (above "Hints [F1]"), which shows you the runtime value of your int under the variable so you can check if it actually compares the right value.
If it stays 0 you likely need to make it global (right-click on it under the 'Variables' tab and make it a global variable), also make sure that everywhere you've used that variable to set it to the global variable.

Hi,
Here is a video about global events/transitions that can be useful :
