How do I make a property get +1 when a channel happens

get a counter. in it’s settings, go to property and update the property of your choice with the counter. then increment the counter when receiving on a channel.

Uhh…you don’t need a counter, just a trigger that when receiving on that channel sets the property value by property + 1. That way you wouldn’t have to have a device to update the property.

that requires block code which is more memory.

I know, but 1. I don’t like counters, 2. Blocks are less of a hassle and (at least to me), and are simpler than having an update system with all of the channels and stuff. I wasn’t trying to say that my way was necessarily better, but rather that some people (maybe just me), prefer different solutions, and that that could be more suitable for the map (you never know). Also, most people don’t use too much memory, so the difference wouldn’t be that big (though I have never finished a map, so I probably shouldn’t make that assumption). Sorry. Also, I recently used it in one of my maps and did it like that, so that is also why I said that.

how come you don’t like counters?

It has one channel…
the channel that the user wants the property to change on.
And a counter is way simpler.
But let’s stop bickering and let the OP mark a solution so this can close.

As I said, I used the other way in my maps, and so tbh I don’t fully know how to do the other way (because once I choose a way I absolutely stick to it and don’t really care about the other ways). Also, you think I count how many channels a thing would use? No, I just thought it would use at least 3 or something.

They just seem useless to me, I always use other stuff. It’s kind of just like a natural thing, that I just don’t like counters, without much reason. I don’t know why.

thats what I tried first but i thought it didn’t work but it didnt have to do with the trigger

The counter solution worked for you though, right? So it doesn’t matter, your problem is solved! (this is your cue to mark a solution when you see this)

When working with incrementations of 1 and scoring things in GKC, always look toward the counter device first! (ITS AWESOME and is helpful in so many many many things!) Make sure to research all devices and their functions thoroughly so you can find simple solutions to problems like these in the future :D
