Title: Store Trigger Count
Post by: ben135 on April 01, 2014, 01:56:31 PM

Is there a way to store the number of times the trigger is activated on a specific gameobject into a variable?

You can send event to a new state with a float add, or float multiple add action that you can set to add 1.

You can then set a next frame event back to the trigger so that every time it is entered it adds 1 and goes back til it's triggered again.

My global variable of the triggercount seems to be storing values it gets from the previous runtime (after on/off). Is there a way to reset global variables to its initial value?

You can make an fsm that sets the value to 0 in a start state.

Hi,

 you are experiencing a bug, so yes, I would simply force the global variable value to 0 when the game starts.

bye,

I tried setting up a state with the action "set float value" pointed to the global variable inside an empty game object in the start state. The action doesn't' get initiated. How can I fix that?

Does it give an error, and if so, what does it say?

There are no errors. The global variable just doesn't change to 0 when I run it. The action is never used while I watch the game run.

Not sure I follow, can you show a screen grab to see how the action is set up?
