I'm confused: Tappable Mini Game

emelia.episode · July 8, 2021, 6:24pm

So, I’m trying to do a tappable game, where I let the reader pan around the screen, and to select some items. In total, there are 15 items, but I want the reader to only select 12 of them. Then after that, they will have a chance to select one of the last 3 items. I have the code, but I’m confused on how to move on after.

Code

Gargamel · July 8, 2021, 6:42pm

I’m not sure I understand your question. Where exactly is it not moving on from?

emelia.episode · July 8, 2021, 7:29pm

I want the reader to pick 12/15 items. After they select all 12, I want to give them a chance to pick 1 item of the last 3 that are left. Does that make sense?

Matilda_the_lovely · July 8, 2021, 7:31pm

I’d I understand correctly…
Add a point after each item the reader selects. Once the reader has 12 points, that first part of the game is done. Then comes the second part where they choose one of the 3 items.

Is that what you’re asking?

emelia.episode · July 8, 2021, 7:48pm

Ah yes, that sounds like it. Do I get rid of the gains? I’m also confused if I did something wrong with the “if”/“else” part

Matilda_the_lovely · July 8, 2021, 8:06pm

Does it matter which 12 items are picked? If not, I don’t see why you need gains.

If you just change the opacity, they can still tap on the overlay. You will want to remove it altogether once they have confirmed yes.

Why not just let them pick 13? I don’t see why you want 12 and then one more.
But if you do, you can add
If(points=12)
NARR
you have selected 12 items. You may choose one more of the remaining 3 items.
Else they just keep selecting until they reach 12.
Make sense?

emelia.episode · July 9, 2021, 2:53am

Ok, I guess I’ll do 13 items then, how do I fix my script? I’m kinda new to the points system.

Matilda_the_lovely · July 9, 2021, 12:10pm

Either create a new character or choose and existing one (that doesn’t have points). I’m calling this person POINTS.
Make sure they start with 0 points.
@POINTS =0

Start your game, like you have it entered…
tappable
“AMMO”{
NARR
Would you like to take this?
choice
“Yes”{
@overlay AMMO clear (instead of opacity 0, otherwise, the reader can’t see it, but can still tap it)
@POINTS +1
gain AMMO (if you need to remember what the reader picked)
if(POINTS =12){
goto cont_items
}
else{
goto items
}}
“No”{
…
goto items
}}

label cont_items
…what you have here is no longer a tappable choice. Is that what you want? It is only the list of items that you will see (COMBU, LIPSTICK and MIRROR1). I see you entered these as overlays, but during the game, the reader will not be able to tap them, as they are not part of the tappable choices.

emelia.episode · July 9, 2021, 5:50pm

Okay, I still want it to be tappable tho. I think my main problem is that, after I tapped on all the items, it won’t let me continue to move on the next scene. So basically, I should change the “opacity part” & use the point system?

I was using this as a guide:

Help! Tappable mini game - #7 by dukii_x

Matilda_the_lovely · July 9, 2021, 7:25pm

If you use the points, once you hit 12 points, it should move to the next part.
The question is, do you want the last 3 items to be tappable too!? You didn’t make that a tappable choice.

emelia.episode · July 9, 2021, 8:37pm

Oh yeah, I do. If I change that to tappable would it work?

Matilda_the_lovely · July 9, 2021, 9:04pm

Those 3 items you have for the second part cannot be selected in the first part where they select 12, right? And how many are there in that first group? 12 or more? Sorry, I didn’t count.

After they select those 12 (you will know because of the points), then you can do a tappable for the last 3.

emelia.episode · July 9, 2021, 9:07pm

Yes, correct , In total, there r 14 items - I don’t want to use the mirror.

Matilda_the_lovely · July 9, 2021, 9:12pm

Personally, I wouldn’t pan the last few items. But that’s up to you.

emelia.episode · July 9, 2021, 9:28pm

Yeah, I think I’ll just make them as regular choices. Can I put @overlay NAME clear, after the opacity part? Idk, can u tell me what changes in the script, I need to do - I’m sry jus need a bit of clarification :’)

Matilda_the_lovely · July 9, 2021, 9:37pm

Once the reader has confirmed they want the item, you want to
@overlay AMMO clear
@POINTS +1

Then
If(POINTS =12){
goto the next part of the game (I forgot the label name)
}
else{
goto tappable part again, except you’ve cleared the overlay, so they can’t tap it again.
}

emelia.episode · July 10, 2021, 3:05am

tysmm for ur help!!

Matilda_the_lovely · July 10, 2021, 5:02pm

Did it work the way you wanted it to???

emelia.episode · July 10, 2021, 7:34pm

Yes, it did!

Matilda_the_lovely · July 10, 2021, 9:50pm

I’m so happy
