Distance Counter For Bb3

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));

 

Ok this is good, but how can I display the log output in a label?

 

let dist = this.scene().path().pathPosition(); //distance
this.entity().component('Label').setText(String(Math.round(dist)));

 

I tried it, it gives a value of null

 

Check this file, code is working.

Thank you, it worked

 

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

Not working with the UI Text.

 

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;
}

 

how can i change the way that the distance are being numbered like its too quick i reached only 10 scenes and im on 33875 something like this can someone help??

and i removed the

• log(Math.round(dist));

and its suppose to make my game run smoother but i think its not help so much.

 

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

 

Many thanks to you brother and another thing how can i present in game ui my best distance that i have reached?

 

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

 

i put all of this


let dist = this.scene().path().pathPosition(); //distance
this.entity().component('Label').setText(String(Math.round(dist)));

with the label node near this code added math.round(dist)/100

i exported this as an asset and copy it into the ui but i cant see nothing its not show me the distance please help

thanks

 

Hi, I tried downloading your distance working project but the link shows another project called jump-shoot
can you please send me a link to your distance project?
Many Thanks

 

this is the code thats working


function init(){

}

function update(dt){

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

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

}

function signal(name, value) {

}

 

function init(){

}

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?
