Game Help Please!

[sparrow317]

Hi. I'm a high school student and I'm trying to make a game for a school project. My main character is a bird and I'm wondering how to do two things;

I want to do a method where if my bird comes close to an object the object responds (i.e. moves, says something, etc.) How can I do this?

Secondly, the bird is trying to find bugs scattered over the landscape. How can I make a counter/score keeper that will "count" how many the bird has found?

Thank you for all help! Any advice is appreciated!

For the first one, use the distance functions of the object to create a "while object is at least x meters away from bird" method.

For the second one, have a variable which increments by one (drag the variable onto the scripting area to see this option) when a bug is found, then have a 3d text which sets its text to the variable as a string (found under the world's functions) whenever the variable changes (when a varialbe changes event found in event menu in upper-right corner of screen).
