Game Overlay / Property Question

Help
1

I have a property that counts the number of questions a player has answered correctly.

I would like for this to show on the player’s screen all the time (like in the upper right corner)
Something like a game overlay.

Is there a way for the total number of items in the PROPERTY to be shown on the screen at all times?

Thanks for your thoughts.

Try using a game overlay

I am not as good with property, but you can make it so that evry question you get right you get 1 (RANDOM ITEM)
and then a overlay tracks that item

@Epi320’s solution should work so I suggest trying that.

GREAT Idea, it is not going to work with my situation.
If I do that, then they go away when they spend them and I want the total of right answers no matter how they spend them.

Sorry, I was not super clear in my first post.

I have 4 Questioners - each one grants a KeyCard of a different color. So they need to get at least 5 of each color to proceed and spend them.

This is why I had to do a Property. Because the property counts just right answers. And does not take away when they ‘spend’ them.

And when the game is over, I want to know the total number answered.

    this

  2. then set property to this

    If you want it to be for everyone, set it to global

  3. go to blocks in the overlay, then set this:

    also, i accidentally forgot to say, on the third screen shot, set it to corrrect answer instead of test, because that was my orginal name for it

  4. Go to the questioner, and when you answer a correct question do this

Ok here is my version.

  1. Take an overlay and set it to text.
  2. Make a property called Correct Answers or something.
  3. Put down a questioner and make it transmit on “correct”
  4. Make a counter that increases on “correct” and updates your property.
  5. Make a block for the overlay that happens when there is a message on “correct”
  6. Do this code:
    Set Text: Get property “Correct Answers”

well uh i dont see a counter, and that is kinda important.
not to be mean

12

OMG, I am so sorry, i just skimed it, i did not see the counter WHOOOPS
sorry :sweat_smile:

13

Mhm! We need the counter, if we don’t the property has nothing to update or go off of!

14

Wait, does that mean my meathod doesn’t work?

15

yeah, the property wont update when it is correct.

16

OH NO, I checked my game, and it was working, but then it doesn’t work now…

17

I edited my post, now can you check it?

18

That will also work! Mine’s just a little simpler (in my opinion. it also saves more memory.)

19

WAIT IT WORKED now!
I have to change test to correct answer
