Need Help with some coin logic
-
@RobinsonX thank you so much for this. I will try it out.
-
@RobinsonX Hi so I was trying to attempt this But tbh I am in no way shape or form a developer. Im not even sure what behavior systems I am suppose to be utilizing. Is it possible to screenshot the behavior systems needed to make this work or even create a mini project of this working. Thanks
-
@RobinsonX I would imagine if a mini project were to be made. A character collecting some coins but intentionally missing some. There could also be a button that reloads the scene and it will pick off where it left off minus the collected coins.
-
@SplitMindGaming I can make a sample project. Hang on!
-
@SplitMindGaming Here's the project: https://bit.ly/3joSEVK
Open it in safari if it does not work here. :)
- You can collect coins and restarting the scene will leave those coins destroyed
- You can intentionally leave coins behind and those coins will still remain after reloading the scene
- There is a way to reset the destroyed coins save to revert all the coins to normal
-
@RobinsonX wow thank you so much for this. Im putting you on the ending credits :)
-
@RobinsonX also what would you suggest I study or learn to better understand how to use behaviors like that. Because looking at the file I would have never guessed to use any of those behaviors.
-
@SplitMindGaming Sorry for late response - I actually learned through trial and error!
I trained myself to study a behavior I want to learn and observe its properties. I know I sound like a nerd, but hyperPad encourages you to be a scientist and over time, you start to learn many processes that you wouldn't expect to grasp on. It ushers you into thinking critically and puts you in a perspective of a programmer.
I look at a behavior and its reference, form a hypothesis and then test. After a while, I will know exactly what a behavior does and can use it to my advantage.
-
@SplitMindGaming I know some people want guidance on how to learn hyperPad, so I would suggest looking at examples and documentation (yes, video tutorials help too!). But you will need to learn exactly how the behavior system works.
I'll summarize the behavior system:
- Behaviors are executed from left to right (there are 2 exceptions)
- There are 2 types of behaviors:
EventandAction Eventbehaviors tell the behaviors when to executeActionbehaviors tell the behaviors what to execute and what to do- If an
Actionbehavior is not connected from the top, it will execute immediately when the scene runs

@RobinsonX Thanks for this. Honestly if it wasnt for your videos also I would be lost in alot of things. You do a good job of explaining things clearly yet also adding humor to your videos. Great work
