How to stop a value from going under 0?

WildRiolu

I am currently making a clicker game on scratch, but i need a data value to not go under 0 so I can prevent cheating.

How do i make a data value impossible to go under 0?

Depends which part of your project changes it? If it always changes by 1 only allow it to happen if the value is currently greater than 0. If it changes by a variable amount you have to do a little more but it's still fairly easy.

inlanoche

you can also do a test if the result of a change would put the value below zero:

This way, before the calculation is applied you can verify the result is not lower than expected.

Thank you all for your answers. But I had figured it out on my own after I posted this using something similar to what inlanoche used.
Thanks.
