I accidentally necroposted on someone else's thread (I apologize, not great for my first post here!) but was wondering if someone could help with the following:

I'd like my variable ‘level’ to increase by 1 every time my variable ‘score’ increases by 10. I've tried if score = 10 then change level by 1….but I know I can't do this in a forever loop.

Any thoughts?

Thanks so much!

Hi, you can use the mod block so at the moment you increase score

change [score v] by (1)
if <((score) mod (10)) = [0]> then
change [level v] by (1)
end

when green flag clicked
forever


set ( requirement) to ((level) * (10))
if <(score) = ( requirement)> then
change [ level] by (1)
end
end

this should work

If the score only changes in one place checking it as @asivi says is the best method.

If the score may change in multiple places you'll need a separate loop but avoid unnecessarily resetting a variable as @totalcode shows.

In the case of a separate check I'd do

forever
wait until <(score) > (((level) * [10]) - [1])>
change [level v] by [1]
any other code required to change level
end

You could use equals rather than greater than if you know score only ever changes by 1 but the above is generally safer.

Well, in case you change score in multiple places as @deck26 commented you can have the script with the mod in just one place(no need of repeating it) and call it by bradcasting a message when it changes, so you can avoid race conditions that come up in case you change score very quickly and the project would be too busy(laggy perhaps).

In my case, whenever the score increases by 10, I want my “coin” sprite to appear on the screen. I just don't know how to manage that.

Hello there! Sorry, but… You are necroposting.

If the topic has been inactive for a significant length of time, and the new post adds nothing to the topic, then the post can be considered a necropost. However, a post in a sticky or ITopic is not considered a necropost if it adds more useful information (these topics are kept at the top of the forum page anyway, so posting does not bump them). Necroposting on purpose is strongly discouraged, as it is unhelpful, clogging up the top of the forum with outdated and unneeded topics.
