I know you might want to flame the hell out of me for this, but in my defence I did spend a good.. oh.. 15 minutes searching the archives for the info I wanted Anyway, my super newbie question is to do with 'global' variables. Specifically, is there any way to get Klick and Play to remember a given value assigned in level one, so that it can be used in level two? At present the only way this is working for me is by using the player 1-4 'scores' and 'number of lives' variables, but that leaves me with a rather underwhelming 8 variables to play with. Apologies if this topic has been done to death. Cheers for any info anyone can provide. n/a

Klikmaster Master of all things Klik Registered 08/07/2002 Points 2599	2nd February, 2005 at 15:39:04 - I'm afraid, with K&P you don't get global variables so you'll have to make do with lives and scores. An alternative way would be to get TGF or MMF n/a
Platypus Cider Registered 02/02/2005 Points 2	2nd February, 2005 at 15:42:08 - Egads, man! But that would cost money! Seriously, though, thanks a lot for the clarification. I might have a look at getting that Games Factory do-hicky. n/a

Tigerworks Klik Legend Registered 15/01/2002 Points 3882	2nd February, 2005 at 17:35:56 - OK, how old is KNP? 12 years old? Get MMF, it's much newer and better. What's wrong with paying for quality software? - Tigerworks

Silveraura God's God Registered 08/08/2002 Points 6747	2nd February, 2005 at 22:09:51 - Well I never used KnP because it was released when I was 4, & I didnt get a PC until I was 10 & even then it was the family computer & right about now, I'm concidered a virus to the PC because everytime I get on it, I end up screwing the thing up. Its weak. http://www.facebook.com/truediamondgame

If so you could fit as many values in the score or lives as you need. It probably doesn't, though. In which case you could probably code modulus calculation, but I'm sure that's more effort than it's worth. Not that I can remember how anyway. n/a
Assault Andy Administrator I make other people create vaporware Registered 29/07/2002 Points 5686	3rd February, 2005 at 00:07:43 - I bought KNP for $11 AU at Myers, I must of been between 8 and 10. I then bought MMF when I was about 12. Anyway back to your problem. You are not a total noob. All we ask here at TDC is that you use the Search function, which you did and we thank you.

*The* Chris Street Administrator Unspeakably Lazy Admin Registered 14/05/2002 Points 48487	3rd February, 2005 at 15:11:25 - Haha, well I got K&P in about '94, then TGF in '96 and prompty discarded K&P. So thats eight years of trying to remember what features it had... or didn't. I DO remember that there were only three alterable values though... I think. n/a
Long John Kickbag Registered 26/08/2002 Points 148	3rd February, 2005 at 16:17:24 - Modulus is easy to code, just keep subtracting while the value is greater than the value you're doing it by. Or another way is to divide the number by the value, then multiple again (that's assuming an integer calculation takes place) and take that away from the original value.

Radix hot for teacher Registered 01/10/2003 Points 3139	3rd February, 2005 at 16:54:14 - Well, there you go. I can fit in waaaaaay more than three values then. You just have to know how many digits they'll be beforehand. Unless you used one value to store the list of numbers and the other one to store the list of lengths. Sounds like something I'd do an example for if I weren't, like, not going to. n/a
Weston L Registered 16/12/2002 Points 1603	3rd February, 2005 at 19:04:12 - for what it's worth, i'd go with TGF but that might just be because im used to it. i have MMF too. n/a
Silveraura God's God Registered 08/08/2002 Points 6747	3rd February, 2005 at 19:15:32 - There is no excuse why no one here at DC should have to use KnP, only because TGF Pro is no more then a standerd PS2 game! So rather then going out & buying Jak2, get TGF Pro! Now MMF is a slightly different story, but still, its not that big of a deal. http://www.facebook.com/truediamondgame
Silveraura God's God Registered 08/08/2002 Points 6747	3rd February, 2005 at 22:13:42 - Phizzy, I'm not sure if you got the point or not, but that wasnt it. The point is, TGFPro is cheap & werth the price, there should be no reasion why not every clicker has it if they dont already have MMF. http://www.facebook.com/truediamondgame
Klikmaster Master of all things Klik Registered 08/07/2002 Points 2599	5th February, 2005 at 07:50:32 - K&P had very few objects; counters; actives; backdrop; quick backdrop; lives; score; string, i think thats it n/a
Al Registered 03/01/2002 Points 110	5th February, 2005 at 09:02:03 - Get TGF, its only £15 on the Clickteam site, I've also seen TGF on the Xplosiv budget range here in England for £5 before. n/a
Flava Registered 30/07/2002 Points 684	5th February, 2005 at 12:05:40 - Yeh I bought TGF on one of those Xplosiv range things for £5 at Toys R US - only about 6-8 months ago too. GO GO GO!! This is a signature. Have this one on me.
Klikmaster Master of all things Klik Registered 08/07/2002 Points 2599	5th February, 2005 at 14:29:05 - Oh, i forgot, K&P also had the crappy Q&A object, not that it matters n/a
Knudde (Shab) Administrator Crazy? Registered 31/01/2003 Points 5125	5th February, 2005 at 14:59:50 - Object list in KnP Score Lives Active object Background Quick Background. And that's it, well as far as I can remember. but no way to save, no scrolling, it's pretty limited. @Radix - String manipulation? KnP doesn't even have a negate function. Craps, I'm an old man!
RapidFlash Savior of the Universe Registered 14/05/2002 Points 2712	5th February, 2005 at 21:41:21 - Shab: You can scroll, but it's pretty inefficient. It requires using active objects as platforms and moving them when the player moves. http://www.klik-me.com

Radix hot for teacher Registered 01/10/2003 Points 3139	6th February, 2005 at 18:48:07 - Shab: I didn't expect it to have string manipulation. But a mod function can do exactly the same thing for the purpose of passing variables around. n/a
