Question by Woutervd · Apr 30, 2012 at 07:18 PM · javascriptvariablesleveltransform.translate

I want to translate an object when score changes but it doesn't work

Hello! I have built a simple score system that gives you a point whenever you fall off-world. I now want to increase the height of my walls by 1 meter everytime this happens. I've written the following script:

  function Update() {
         var OldScore = PointSystem.score;
         if (PointSystem.score > OldScore) {
             transform.Translate(0,1,0);}
         }

If I put it like this, the wall doesn't move because OldScore is always the same as PointSystem.score. However, if I put the defining of var OldScore outside function Update( ) the wall lifts off indefinitely. The solution is probably very logical, but I can't find it.

Thank you for your help!

And with this?

 var OldScore = PointSystem.score;

 function Update() {
    if (PointSystem.score > OldScore){
       OldScore = PointSystem.score;
       transform.Translate(0,1,0);
    }
 }

var OldScore = PointSystem.score;

 function Update() {
        
         if (PointSystem.score > OldScore) 
           RaiseWall();
        
 }
 function RaiseWall()
 {
 if (PointSystem.score > OldScore)
 {
 OldScore = PointSystem.Score;
  transform.Translate(0,1,0);}
 }
 

//super simple example

Well, for my point of view, +1 to this, because it's equal to the solution of $$anonymous$$e :) I've just posted it some seconds before.

However, pay attention, because you've "encapsulated" the RaiseWall inside the Update.

D'oh, right you are, fixed it now, and thanks!
