stuck on lab 3
 

I cannot figure out how to do the counter for lab 3 ring catch game. Somebody please help.

I'm guessing that you studied something called collision detection in that chapter, so the simple solution would be to add one to your counter if the ring is within a certain distance of the cone when it lands. I guess the distance would be up to you, as well as the speed of the drop.;)

so I updated the ring's proximity to the cone but how do I get the actual 3D-Text to change from 1 to 10?

Here is an example of adding numbers, depending on what kind you are using it will give decimal and integer values.

The answer involves converting the counter to a text string because that's what goes into a 3DText. There is a world function called "(what) as a sting" that you can drag in, and then replace (what) with the name of your counter.

Thank you for your advice. I think I have it now. :)
