How to make a clicks per second upgrade in a scratch game?

ThyFunniGuy

I am trying to make a CPS feature in a clicker game. I am currently using Griffpatch's number counter code for the score, and i tried the “increase clicks by score method.” Like this:

change [cps v] by (1)

change [score v] by (cps)

but when I run this code, the cps is set to nine and the score shoots up way more than nine every second. The index variable for the score is nine, so that has something to do with it. Any help?

try this:

when upgrade::events hat
change [cps v] by (1)
when this sprite clicked
change [score v] by (cps)

if that is what you mean by

change [cps v] by (1)

change [score v] by (cps)

then sorry can you share the project too allow us to test it

Okay, i'll tell you how to get to the clicker section. https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1099576460/

Once you launch it, hover your cursor at the middle-top section of the screen until you see a white box with a question mark. Click that, and there you go.

Do you mean like if you get 9cps than it is equivalent to 9 clicks per second?
If so, just do something like:

change [add_clicks v] by ((timer) * (cps))
set [Final_clicks v] to (round ((add_clicks) + (clicks)))

and when the button is clicked, then just +1 “clicks”. Use the “Final_clicks” for the actual score. It's not perfect, but that's all I can think of.

I think it is inferred that you should broadcast a message
