Variable Change
Hey! I'm trying to make it so then when my points variable reaches 10, another variable changes to 1. How can I do this? Thank you!

foreveryou can also use greater than
if <(var) = [10]> then
change [var2 v] by (1)
end
end
trouble with clones? view my clone id toolbox! I also have built the bases of a tower defense game link here.
If someone on help with scripts is saying that something can't be done, they should be suspected of being a team limit grunt.
Wanna be the very best? Here's your chance!

I tried this but it automatically increased to 30-40. How do you fix this?

Variable Change
The trouble there is that as long as the first variable is 10, the 2nd will keep rocketing up, rather than just once.
The only way I can think to make it only happen once each time would be to make a third variable that it checks the first variable is higher than, does the +1 to the 2nd variable, then increases the 3rd variable.

Use wait until var=10 rather than a forever/if combination.
I've gone for > 9 rather than = 10 because if score can increase by more than 1 between checks you might miss the event since the value is 10 for too short a time. Whether that is an issue depends on how the variable changes but it demonstrates an alternative.
wait until <(var) > [9]>
change [var2 v] by [1]

Oh, maybe try stopping the script afterward because once the variable is equal to 10, it will always fire the if since it is in a forever loop. You need the forever loop so that it will continually check to see so…
The one problem with this is that you need to find a way to start the script again (if you want it to run again), so I reccomend using a broadcast.
when I receive [StartScript v]
forever
if <[var v] = [10]> then
set [var2 v] to [1] // Set/change this to whatever you want
stop [this script v]
end
end
