Scoring and variables

13 years ago
Hey all, I have a question about scoring. Lets say that I'm making a boxing game. The two fighters box for three rounds and each get points but not a knockout. Therefore, it must go to a decision. How do I make it that whoever has the higher variable score goes to the page that says they won?

If you're using advanced variables it should be possible for a link to only be available when varA > varB

So you make 2 links: Link 1 is visible if player 1 score > player 2 score, annd link 2 is visible if player 1 score < player 2 score and maybe you can make a tie link or something if player 1 score = player 2 score

Here's something I used (your variables and page #s will be your own of course) -

IF %HEALTH > 0 THEN
BEGIN
IF %WINS > %LOSSES THEN
 $DEST := @P4
IF %WINS = %LOSSES THEN
 $DEST := @P7
IF %WINS < %LOSSES THEN
 $DEST := @P5
END
IF %HEALTH < 1 THEN
 $DEST := @P12

The above allows for for a win, loss, or tie, and alsa where you lost all your health durring the round.

Wasn't that the scripting that you sent to me because it didn't work, or did you find a way to solve the problem?

Yeah, this is the final version that worked. If you want to add more you can, but you have to balance the nesting (BEGIN & END)'s - for example, the following didn't work until I got the (BEGIN & END)'s all in the right place:

 
IF %HEALTH > 0 THEN
BEGIN
IF %WINS > %LOSSES THEN
BEGIN
%SCORE:= %SCORE + (%ZZWINS * 10)
$DEST := @P8
END
IF %WINS = %LOSSES THEN
BEGIN
%SCORE:= %SCORE + (%ZZWINS * 5)
$DEST := @P10
END
IF %WINS < %LOSSES THEN
$DEST := @P5
END
IF %HEALTH < 1 THEN
$DEST := @P12
