Have made a simple racing game with two lines on track. These lines are sprites.

I Want to be able to make a counter go up every time you touch the second one, but only if the first one has been touched.

I also want a timer to stop at 10 laps.

About to load up what i have done so far, please help!

Thanks

You should try using variables instead. I think those would help. Tell me if you need any other help.

Thats the problem i dont understand variables.

Any way you can explain to me please?

Create a variable by the name of Timer.
When the race starts, continuously change the timer by 1.
When it ends, stop it.
The variable is now a timer.

Hope that helps smile

If you need any sort of specific script, don't hesitate to ask!

You should add the value of the timer to a list every time the car crosses the finish line, and then reset the timer. I'll put an example together.

I added a timer and a list that records your lap times here:

Add the items of the list together. For example, if you want 3 laps, use this script:

Code:

set Total to ( ( (item (1) of list) + (item (2) of list)  ) + (item (3) of list) )

fullmoon · 2010-05-26 17:13:26

Code:

set i to 0
set total to 0
repeat (length of [list]):
  change i by 1
  change total by (item (i) of [list])
