I have a question. How did you make your score like that so it reads 00000000 and counts up? I can only get my score to work if it starts as 0

[ImprisonedPride]

Search: Key Word(s): score
Showing results 1 to 25 of 382
Search took 6.47 seconds.

onClipEvent (load) {
	var one = 0;
	var ten = 0;
	var hun = 0;
	var tho = 0;
	var tentho = 0;
	var huntho = 0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (_root.scoreHolder>0) {
		_root.scoreHolder--;
		if (one+1 != 10) {
			one++
		} else {
			one = 0
			if (ten+1 != 10) {
				ten++
			} else {
				ten = 0
				if (hun+1 != 10) {
					hun++
				} else {
					hun = 0
					if (tentho+1 != 10) {
						tentho++
					}else {
						tentho = 0
						huntho++
					}
				}
			}
		}
	}
	_root.score = huntho+""+tentho+""+tho+""+hun+""+ten+""+one;
}

Leave a blank MC offstage with this code in it. Then whenever a player scores points, add those points to _root.scoreHolder instead of directly to the score.

I have searched that before and never found this code about it

Sorry and thanks

Is it easy to change the speed in which it goes up, perhaps flicks through tens instead of ones? I've tried but so far I only managed to make it go up to 1000 by mistake

[EDIT]: Hmm..when the score gets to 1000, the rolling bar jumps to 10,000. Gonna try and figure out whats wrong :S

[xtrava]

Hmm cant work it out, seems to be an inherent problem with it

Am using this instead:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
 if (_root.score<_root.scoreC) {
 _root.score += 10;
 }

Just a shame it means by display doesnt appear as 000000, but at least it goes up properly, and quickly

is this what you mean i made it so it doesnt have much code as well its realy 10000 but i masked out the 1 =)

hope its what you need

heres the source file.

... well masking out is ... an interresting approach ...

or you coud use this:

/**
* returns a string formated to the total length of Size
* padded with leading zeros
* 
* @param	value	an object (text or number) to be padded
* @param	size 	[optinal] the length of the resulting string
* @return			the padded string
*/
function format (value:Object, size:Number):String {
	
	var stringValue:String = String(value);
	var strLength = 2;
	
	if (size != null) strLength = size;
	while (stringValue.length < strLength) {
	         stringValue = "0" + stringValue;
	}
	
	return stringValue;
}

// usage:

trace( format(1) );
// outputs: 01 

trace( format(123, 5) );
// outputs: 00123

if you're on AS2 you colud just use the attached StrUtil class, which contains some more string related thingies ... (rename to .as, though) - wow my first open source.

My MX cant load that

Sounds like a good idea though I'll come back to it

[Squize]

Wow, this thread's been hijacked.

"Sounds like a good idea"

Erm, no, it's a really bad way to do it. Use nGFX's code, it's a million times better.

[mbenney]

ah but its faster if you're displaying in a dynamic text box anyway.

[XareoX]

masking still does the same thing and way easyer

[ihoss.com]

Masking is slower and a clumsy way to do something simple. If you don't want to show the 1 then just use score.toString().substring(1);

Domyboy, spamming is not accepted

self deleted =)

[Viza]

Calm down Xareox.
You obviously didn't read what was above ihoss's post because some guy named 'domyboy' spammed in this thread...He wasnt attacking you.
