Check which property is the highest

[EggNoodle]

I have 10 properties, and I want the game to check which one is the highest. Any simple way of doing this?

??? Sorry I can’t help you

Get a button(or anything) and get text.
Wire the button to the text (when button pressed–run wire pulse back)
Now make a when receving wire pulse block in the text.
In the block: Set text to:get property:(your property)
Copy the text 9 more times one by one (because then the block will also copy)
Dont forget to change the properties in each text block.
Now wire the button (or whatever you chose) to the other 9 texts with when button pressed–run wire pulse back.
So when you press the button you should see all the numbers (if they are number properties) and see which one is the highest
This should work

Sadly, using the checker with properties doesn’t work, as it is bugged, so you will have to use block code.

Create two properties, highestValue, and highestName. These will store the value of the highest property, and the name of the highest property.

Place a trigger, and go to block code. Write:
if (get_property(highestValue) < get_property(myproperty1):
set_property(highestValue, get_property(highestValue)
set_property(highestName, myproperty1)

This checks if my property is greater than the highest property checked so far. To check all 10 properties, copy paste this code over and over, changing the name of the property you are comparing each time.

If you run out of space in the block code of this trigger, add a broadcast on channel button to the code. Setup another trigger to trigger when receiving on that channel, and then put the rest of the if statements in that trigger.

Sorry for the lack of screenshots, I’m on mobile right now.

Thanks! I was trying to make a voting system for Among Us.

I should probably say- there is a more optimal solution, but it’s more complex and involves lists. Do you want it?

[ClicClac]

Yes.

[Blackhole927]

So, first, read this if you haven’t already:

How to make lists | TUTORIAL | Difficulty:

As of right now (May 28, 2023) there is currently no built in way to make lists in gimkit creative. However, if we get creative, we can make our own lists. The Idea: You’ll notice when you place a get property block, the property name is just a text object. We can use this to our advantage, with the create text block. By creating multiple properties, each named item.0, item.1, item.2, we can make some text with the create text block that matches the property name of the item we’re trying to gra…

Then, make sure your voting properties all have a naming scheme like “p1votes”, “p2votes”, “p3votes” etc.

Place a repeater, and wire it to a trigger. Then place a property and name it '‘i’ or something like that.
Make the repeater repeat 10 times, and then go to the trigger and enter block code.

Then write the following code:

#store the property name in a varible called name
name = create_text("p1", get_property(i), "votes")

#check if the value of name is greater than the highest votes so far
if (get_property(name) > get_property("highest")):
    #if so, update the highestName and highestValue properties.
    set_property("highestName", name)
    set_property("highestValue", get_property(name))

#increase i to check the next property
set_property("i", get_property("i")+1)

#A check to reset the "i" property when all properties have been checked.
if (get_property("i") == 10):
    set_property("i", 0)

I hope this makes sense lol

[Here_to_help]

you should make a guide!

[Blackhole927]

I’m procrastinating it lol
I’m working on my next big project in gimkit

[mysz]

What’s it going to be? Just a hint would be fine lol.

I’m also working on a huge rpg project called Farmers’ Quest.

[Here_to_help]

i am still working on monopoly, but i did add to my guide today :}

[Anythinger]

Don’t even know where to start on CCC lol

[mysz]

Farmers’ Quest has 72% memory and a merchant system lol.

[Here_to_help]

the terrain

[Blackhole927]

Well, its not gonna be something boring that gimkit intended for people to make in creative
But other than that, i prefer not to give spoilers, since I usually fail to meet my goals and dont want to raise expectations only to drop them.

[mysz]

That’s okay. I think I want to create a bossfight first to get feels for the boss fight at the end of Farmers’ Quest, so I might make a guide on those.

[Blackhole927]

What kind of bossfight? Like a sentry one or with custom attacks?

[mysz]

Both, probably. I’m making a fake one.

[Here_to_help]

so you are just getting comfortable before you make the real thing?
