sys(coincount) bugs [solved]

[Lx Xzit]

1. When the coin counter reach the value of 99 (through scripts) it gets stuck there:

Code: Select all

do
   sys(coincount) = sys(coincount) + 1
   call sleep(1)
loop

If the value is equal or greater than coinsforextralife (default: 100) it should subtract this value and give the player(s) 1-up (the normal operation of coins).

2. For some reason, this won't work

Code: Select all

sys(coincount) += 1

But this will:

Code: Select all

sys(coincount) = sys(coincount) + 1

Even when both are the same thing. (It's the only variable I've found so far with this issue.

EDIT: now in patch 26 "sys(coincount) += 1" drops the error "Cannot assign a non-numeric to a number".

Not only that, but if coinsforextralife is greater than 100 and the coincount is greater than 99 and less than coinsforextralife, when the player returns to the world map and reenters a level, a 1-up is immediately given to the player.

Bump. None of these problems has been addressed and 38a didn't give me a reply whether or not this is really a bug nor how to deal with it.

Code: Select all

do   
    if sysval(coincount)=sysval(coinsforextralife)-1  then       
        sysval(playerhealth)=sysval(playerhealth)+1
        sysval(coincount)=0
      call audioset(2,15,0,"")      
   else
      sysval(coincount)=sysval(coincount)+1
    end if
   
    call sleep(1)
loop
