How to make An overlay display text and then a increasing number

Hey! , This is my first guide so I might be a bit rusty But To make this you will need the following

Summary

An overlay (obviously)
A property
A button

Go to the button and put for “When button pressed, transmit on” Increase Property

Place down a property and change it to number instead of text and default value to 0 and rename it to Number

Go back to the overlay and find Blocks, Click it. Once you’re there click “when receiving on channel” And put Increase Property. Once you’ve done that copy the blocks below.


And now once that’s all done when you click the button the overlay number should increase!

I would add images of the device setting, but other than that great guide

Hey, neat guide! It’s a little bit short, usually guides are longer, so maybe add similar mechanisms later on but so far looks nice.

Also, welcome to the forums! Be warned, you’ve only got 10 replies today since it’s your first day so use them wisely. Check out this blog post about Discourse trust levels if you haven’t yet, those are helpful for new users.

Great Guide!! :slight_smile:
Yeah, I would add some pics but other than that great!

It’s says I’m not allowed to use more than one picture
