... All you have to do is make a single integer variable that stores the number of rupees the player has, and increase that number when the player collides with a rupee object... What the hell more could you possibly need? Why the hell can't you make THIS on your own?

Do you REALLY think you can make a Zelda game if you don't even know how to do something like this? o.O;;

There's such a double standard about religion in the modern world. Catholics can gather, wear white robes, and say "In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti" and be considered normal.

But if my friends and I gather, wear black robes, and say  "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn", we're considered cultists.

No, for once MiNalien has a very good point.
Ill be back in about five second with a gmd.

EDIT: !@#$% this. Linux is !@#$% when it comes to emulating GM, so Im not going to waste so many nerves on something that anybody can write.
If you cant write your own rupee engine, RTFM, and dont make a zelda game.

I my honest opinion, he/she is implying that kingknight can't make a zelda game. That's why I got ticked off.

I don't know if it's still hosted, but Yoshi had a pretty good one I think. I'm assuming this is in Game Maker.

http://www.zfgc.com/forum/index.php?topic=3363.0 <- The topic.

But what Min was saying was to have a variable such as:
Code: [Select]
global.rupees=0;Then, when you collide with the rupee object, it should increase it by one and destroy the rupee object:
Code: [Select]
global.rupees+=1;
instance_destroy()
If you want to know how to DRAW the rupees on screen, that's a different problem. Here's what I did, I'm sure there is better ways out there though.
Code: [Select]
//This draws the little rupee icon that is in the corner of the screen
draw_sprite(spr_rupee_rupee,0,view_xview[0]+8,view_yview[0]+240-16);

//if you have no rupees, it will draw three zeros. You can change this depending on wallet size or whatever.
if global.rupees=0
{
    draw_text(view_xview[0]+19,view_yview[0]+240-14,'000',);
}
//if you have less than 10 rupees, but more than 1, it will draw two zeros, plus the amount of rupees you have. //And etc.
if global.rupees>0 {
    if (global.rupees<10) {
        draw_text(view_xview[0]+19,view_yview[0]+240-14,'00'+string(global.rupees));
        }
    else if (global.rupees<99 || global.rupees=99) {
        draw_text(view_xview[0]+19,view_yview[0]+240-14,'0'+string(global.rupees));
        }
    else {
        draw_text(view_xview[0]+19,view_yview[0]+240-14,string(global.rupees));
        }
}

if (global.rupees=global.rupeeMax) {
    draw_text(view_xview[0]+19,view_yview[0]+240-14,global.rupees);
    }

Try that. I haven't used any of this for a while, so I'm a little rusty, and like I said, this isn't the best way to do it. Make sure you familiarize yourself with actually learning what variables are, and not just when to use them, but also HOW and WHY they work. Then you can actually code without examples and tutorials as guides.

You shouldnt get ticked off. MiN is right. If you cant make a number appear on he scren, your out of luck when you try programming a cliff jumping engine, and enemy engine, etc.

The error looks pretty clear to me, you haven't set the variable rupeeMax. just write global.rupeeMax=99;   or something.

No, in the object that is drawing the rupee count as it is what has to know what the maximum is and having it in obj_rupee would set it to the same value on each collision which is horribly inefficient.

It isn't going to work perfectly.  In Kylink's code it should be this:
Code: [Select]
if (global.rupees != global.rupeeMax)
{
  global.rupees+=1;
}
instance_destroy()
Then again, I do not know what you really used.

Uh, yah. I'm not completely sure in my code, that was more of a base than anything.

I figured it was better to answer what could have been one of his future questions; it is not so much that I was being critical of you, I am nit-picky for little things that lead to problems if they go unchecked, it's just how I think.

In fact it should be:
Code: [Select]
global.rupees = min(global.rupees + 1, global.rupeeMax);
But as Minalien has pointed I don't think this guy's posts is worth so much replies, considering that he is "making" a Zelda game and he doesn't even know how to make a rupee engine.
