    Hi All,

    Have anyone figured out a way to set an event observer for a distance covered by the character?
    I would be really grateful for those who could help.

    Thanks
    Wiss

    there is no event observer. you can use this code for distance.
    • let dist = this.scene().path().pathPosition(); //distance
    • log(Math.round(dist));

    Wow! Thank you. Very useful post.
    - 2D text on screen
    - UI buttons with click handlers
    - Settings object
    Curious where you found this functionality. Is this from BuildBox2 or is this from the templates? I don't see any of this listed in the API.

    I'd like to see a follow up to this, showing how to find a Label from the Game UI, and assign the dist value to it, instead of it being a component.

    I have already attempted this in update:
    Code:
    let dist = this.scene().path().pathPosition();
    let _distanceLabel = this.ui().find('Distance')[0];
    log(_distanceLabel.text());
    _distanceLabel.setText(String(Math.round(dist)));
    Thanks
    -Larry

    Does anyone know how I can change the "undefined" and "NaN" text to the level numbers? Also, how do I make the progress bar finish right as a level is complete?

    Thanks

    if(Settings.level === undefined){
    Settings.level = 1;
    }

    yes u don't need log. you can use this: Math.round(dist)/100
    33875 this will be 338

    in UI add an asset and add a label inside
    for best score, you can create another global var.
    use if dist>bestdist update bestdist

    }

    function update(dt,bestdist='0'){

    let dist = this.scene().path().pathPosition();

    let bestdist = this.scene().path().pathPosition();



    this.entity().component('Label2').setText(String(Math.round(dist/100)));



    if(bestdist==null){



    }



    else(dist>bestdist){

    bestdist.update;

    }

    }

    function signal(name, value) {

    }



    how do i make this like a total coin or somthing like that how can i save the best distance after i close the game?
