[LITTLE HELP] Create an "up-down" variable

[tonaz79]

Hello everybody!
I need a variable to go up from 1 to 100, once at 100 go down back to 1, and so on, up and down.
What is the best and easiest way to do it?

Thanks a lot!

The simplest would probably just to set the variable manually. A nice way to do that with one statement would be like this:

i=(i==1)?100:1;

Hi Swak, that only returns 1, 100, 1, 100, 1 ...and so on.
Not the numbers between.
I might be not clear indeed.
I need a variable that returns "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9...37..68...99,100 AND GO DOWN 99,98,97,96....6,5,4,3,2,1 AND GO UP AGAIN
Thanks anyways

wow i=(i==1)?100:1; looks really cool how can you call a function with that? I have tried countless times to use that question mark

I see, there's a simple way of doing that then.

var i:int = 1;
var c:int = 1;
function count ():void {
	i +=  c;
	switch (i) {
		case 100 :
			c = -1;
			break;
		case 1 :
			c = 1;
			break;
	}
}

This is the basic idea. I just used an enterFrame function to continuously call the count() function.

The ? is not a function really. It's more like they took an if statement and turned it into an operator like the +-*/ symbols. Bascially you have 3 parts for it to work.
s1?s2:s3
s1 needs to be a bool. If s1 is true then it returns s2. Otherwise it returns s3.
Here's an example: i=false?1:2;
with that i will be equal to 2. If it's true then i will equal 1.
I like it, it makes for a simple operator when you understand it. In fact you can use it for a if else shorthand.
Here's an example: false?trace("1"):trace("2");
That will always trace 2.

Thats almost like .bat syntax

If everything's good please add a "[RESOLVED][LITTLE HELP] Create an "up-down" variable" tag. Thanks!
