[SOLVED] Clamp int

[Alatriste]

Hi, I've never used this action before and I'm a bit confused about how to use it correctly.

In my scene, I'm using the "int clamp" order to specify the value of an int value to a min. of 0. However, later on I adding/substracting int values (in a range of 10) to that variable, but when it should stop at 0, it continues with -10.

Has to run the int Clamp order all the time while I'm doing operations with that variable, or the order is declared once and that's it?

Any help?

Hi,
The clam int should be in a active fsm state.
I am on my cellphone atm so i can not check this....

Make a new fsm anfd set in the start state the clamp int action.
If there is a checkbox "every frame" check it and try if that works.

Hi Djaydino, I did as you said but didn't work, running the action everyframe. The int clamp is between 0 and 100 and still goes to -10 when I substract.

Hi,
it should work, try this sample :

fsm 1 is clamping the int and displaying it in the game,
fsm 2 is deducting from the int value

if you stil can't get it to work, can you show some pictures or even better, can you show a video with the actions involved.

Thanks a lot djaydino.
I will give a few tries and if it doesn't work I will record a video so we can look at what I'm doing wrong. (it would be next week anyway, as now I'm in my laptop and I don't have the recording software)

Ok, I managed to make it work following your visual examples. I think the error was in the way I was handeling the variable. The int was working but because I didn't update every frame the result of the int converted to string var, the outcome was negative. I managed to make it work adding all the convert int to string and building the string for the text in the same state. That way it worked.

Thanks a lot djaydino!
