This topic will probably get ignored like all my others, but here goes. I have been trying to get a points system working but just can't seem to get it right. I'm not sure what is causing the problem or which script the problem is in but for some reason I start with 5 points(My test script only goes up to five right now) and if I manually reset it, it immediately jumps back up to five.

My script:

(global short "score" 0)

(script continuous kill
(if (- (ai_living_count zom_test) 1) (set score (+ score 1)))
)

(script continuous points
(if (= score 0) (hud_set_help_text p0))
(if (= score 1) (hud_set_help_text p1))
(if (= score 2) (hud_set_help_text p2))
(if (= score 3) (hud_set_help_text p3))
(if (= score 4) (hud_set_help_text p4))
(if (= score 5) (hud_set_help_text p5))
)

If anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong, I would appreciate it.

The script Juiceb0xhero posted is obviously my old script. Don't use it. In your script, you're attempting to give points per kill rather than by ending the whole wave. However, your if statement does not contain a boolean. Essentially, you're saying:

if the encounter's living count minus one. Although this is slightly legible, it lacks grammatical structure. In order to check if the living count decreased, you need a separate short to store what the living count was before it decreased.

(global short temp 0)

...

(script continuous kill
(set temp (ai_living_count zom_test))
(sleep_until (= (ai_living_count zom_test) (- temp 1)))
(set score (+ score 1))
)

It's still not working. It did give me one point after I killed two enemies,(not exactly right but it's a start) but after that first point, it would not increase past that. My finished map will have limited spawn encounters, but my test one respawns infinitely. Would that have anything to do with it not working?

Thanks, that really helped me.

So when someone posts a script, can I just copy and paste to a .hsc file from the script inside the box thing around it. and how do you make the box thing, my scripts just show up in my message boxless.
