Making an unlock method

DamonDragon13 · **Making an unlock method -** 10-02-2012, 07:28 AM

I am making a game using Alice for my Multimedia Gaming class, and I am making a method that lets you unlock abilities. I have three to unlock, and they are unlocked with experience points that the player can accumulate when they beat an enemy. I have set it so if the button to unlock the ability is clicked on with the mouse it will unlock, and also the experience amount must be 30, but that means the amount of experience would have to be exactly 30, and that is hard to do, because it is quite easy to get more, and will go over 30 easily, so I would like to know how to make it possible that the player can have either 30 or more experience points to unlock the ability.

I've replied to the other thread regarding those functions you didn't understand; this is a case where you would use them.

rather than:
if (xp == 30) ...
which you have right now, use
if (xp >= 30) ...
instead

Thank you so much Arty, this helps me a bunch. I have been stuck on this for quite a while, and because I didn't understand the logic methods I didn't know how to do it, so thank you for replying to both of my posts.
