How to Make Score Add Incrementally???

[JohnADaniels]

Hello, hope someone with Blueprint experience can help with this.

Simple score widget setup that binds to hits from a projectile. If the user shoots a chair the score instantly changes from 0 to 10000. I think it would be cool like the old school games where the score counts up. So if you hit the chair the score would go from 0 to 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 really fast all the way up to 10000.

Thank you,
John

PS: Below is a screenshot of the score in game and also counting logic in the projectile:

Thank you Tearl for the reply!! Whenever the projectile hits a physical object it does count it using the “Increment Score”, what ever is put into the delta score it will continue counting, so the scoring system works correctly. I just want to make the score count up to the delta value. So if you put 10 in the Delta Value and hit the chair 5 times it will show 50 on the score but it shows it instantly, I want it to count from 1 to 50 really fast. Would the way you suggested do that?

Take a look at the score on this game how it counts up: https://youtu.be/AMto2HJJSSA?t=2m28s

I think what you are trying to do is to increment the score to a set amount, but have the score “run up” to that amount over a short amount of time, instead of instantly updating.

Here is a quick example of using a delay to do that. Score_Var is the current score for the projectile, while Score_Max is the total you want the score to increase. This would increment the score by one each time over the delay up until the score reached the value you wanted, set in Score_Max. If you wanted larger scores, you could use add to int by another variable instead of inc.

You don’t want to do this after destroying the actor (self), as it would stop updating when destroyed.
