"Secret Found" simple setup tutorial

[Radar6590]

Ok I tested and it's fine. Very easy in fact.

- Create a counter (Initial value = 0)
- Connect all your pressure_plate_hidden to their S secret and to this counter. Check "Activate once" otherwise the counter increment several times.
- Calcul the number of all your secret. Example 10.
- Create a pressure_plate_hidden at the end of your level (or what you want) and connect to a script with this function :

Code: Select all

function CounterSecret()
	local number = counter:getValue()
	hudPrint(number.. " secrets to 10 found")
end

That's actually a really good idea...

Edit: The fact that this began the second page is awkward and I'm sorry for that. Quoted the post I'm talking about for clarity.

Hi Damonya. Here's a little script that can simplify your job by counting the secrets for you:

Code: Select all

totalSecrets = 0

for l = 1,getMaxLevels() do
	for entity in allEntities(l) do
		if entity.name == "secret" then
			totalSecrets = totalSecrets + 1
		end
	end
end

which also means that you don't have to update the total when you add or remove a secret, the script will just count the secrets every time you click play in the editor or start a new game with this custom dungeon. I have chosen to make totalSecrets non-local so that it only needs to be calculated once, and the value will persist through saving and loading.

Also, prepositions are often one of the most difficult aspects of English for non-native speakers. This sounds more natural:

Code: Select all

hudPrint( number .. " secrets out of " .. totalSecrets  .. " found")

Thank You Marble Mouth.

Just a question. getMaxLevels return the number of level, so the total is the total secrets of all level, not by level ? Is it right ?

You're welcome. That's correct, totalSecrets will include secrets from all levels of your mod.
