Collecting settings per room

[fonzo]

Hey,

Im new to AGD and i cant seem to figure out how to set collecting settings per room.

At the moment i got in:

EVENT GAMEINIT

I = 4

and 

EVENT COLLECTBLOCK




SUBTRACT 1 FROM I



IF I = 0



NEXTLEVEL


ENDIF

When the 4 blocks are collected, then room 1 is loaded. but how do i set the collectblocks for room 1, 2 ect?

Are you looking for a way to manage having different numbers of collectables in each room and then when all collected the player goes to the next level?

In which case this would be a good use of MPAGDs READ & DATA.

Say you have 8 screens (screen #0-7) each with a different number of collectables

Screen 0 : 4 collectables
Screen 1 : 5 collectables
Screen 2 : 3 collectables
Screen 3 : 9 collectables
Screen 4 : 3 collectables
Screen 5 : 5 collectables
Screen 6 : 7 collectables
Screen 7 : 10 collectables


This could be represented as:

DATA 4,6,3,9,3,5,7,10

Then, in your RESTARTSCREEN event:

RESTORE                 ; restore the data
READ L                    ; read the first value of the DATA and put it in L
IF SCREEN >= 1       ; if it is screen 1 or above
   REPEAT SCREEN    ; then repeat SCREEN-many times
   READ L                 ; read the next value
   ENDREPEAT           ; so we've found the right L value for the Screen
ENDIF


; put the rest of your restartscreen code in here

; and at the bottom, put your collectable DATA:


DATA 4,6,3,9,3,5,7,10



Hope this helps!
