Logic Puzzle - Whats going on

Unity Engine
1

Right, i’m back again with another issue - this time with my score counters. I’m using an individual gameobject for each number on the score counter, each is a GUI texture. I was told in another topic that if (10 % variable) for example checks if the variable is a multiple of 10. If this is wrong, please correct me. To make solving the problem a bit more fun, think of it as a puzzle.

Abducting a cow adds 10 points to the score, abducting a human adds 15 points to the score. If either of them are abducted, the Units score counter (the number on the end) goes to 5, and stays 5 no matter how many you abduct. Here is the script:

var number0 : Texture2D;
var number5 : Texture2D;

function Update () 
{
	if (10 % (ScoreCount.score + 5))
	{
		guiTexture.texture = number5;
	}
	else
	{
		guiTexture.texture = number0;
	}
}

What have i done wrong? D: As far as i can see that is asking - “if the score +5 is a variable of 10, change the GUI number to 5. else, make it 0.” - is that right?

lots of love and thanks in advance -

You have the modulo % backwards. It returns the remainder after division, so you keep dividing 10 by your variable and getting that remainder but you need the opposite:

if (variable % 10 == 0) //divisible by 10 because the remainder is 0

See if that helps you.

Thanks for the fast reply, here is the updated script:

var number0 : Texture2D;
var number5 : Texture2D;

function Update () 
{
	if (ScoreCount.score + 5 % 10 == 0)
	{
		guiTexture.texture = number5;
	}
	else
	{
		guiTexture.texture = number0;
	}
}

now no matter what or how much i abduct it stays at zero, which means the if statement is not true. I’ve done something wrong, right?

Maybe you should try adding ( ).

((ScoreCount.score + 5) % 10)

Success!

var number0 : Texture2D;
var number5 : Texture2D;

function Update () 
{
	if ((ScoreCount.score + 5) % 10 == 0)
	{
		guiTexture.texture = number5;
	}
	else
	{
		guiTexture.texture = number0;
	}
}

Problem seemingly solved! If my other script doesn’t work I may come back to have it corrected, but thank you very much!

right, sadly my Tens script isnt working :frowning: would you be so kind as to point out what i’ve done wrong? i set it out like the units one;

var number0 : Texture2D;
var number1 : Texture2D;
var number2 : Texture2D;
var number3 : Texture2D;
var number4 : Texture2D;
var number5 : Texture2D;
var number6 : Texture2D;
var number7 : Texture2D;
var number8 : Texture2D;
var number9 : Texture2D;

function Update () 
{
	if (ScoreCount.score == 0)
	{
		guiTexture.texture = number0;
	}
	else
	{
		if ((ScoreCount.score + 5) % 100)
		{
			guiTexture.texture = number9;
		}
		if ((ScoreCount.score + 10) % 100)
		{
			guiTexture.texture = number9;
		}
		if ((ScoreCount.score + 15) % 100)
		{
			guiTexture.texture = number8;
		}
		if ((ScoreCount.score +20) % 100)
		{
			guiTexture.texture = number8;
		}
		if ((ScoreCount.score + 25) % 100)
		{
			guiTexture.texture = number7;
		}
		if ((ScoreCount.score + 30) % 100)
		{
			guiTexture.texture = number7;
		}
		if ((ScoreCount.score + 35) % 100)
		{
			guiTexture.texture = number6;
		}
		if ((ScoreCount.score + 40) % 100)
		{
			guiTexture.texture = number6;
		}
		if ((ScoreCount.score + 45) % 100)
		{
			guiTexture.texture = number5;
		}
		if ((ScoreCount.score + 50) % 100)
		{
			guiTexture.texture = number5;
		}
		if ((ScoreCount.score + 55) % 100)
		{
			guiTexture.texture = number4;
		}
		if ((ScoreCount.score + 60) % 100)
		{
			guiTexture.texture = number4;
		}
		if ((ScoreCount.score + 65) % 100)
		{
			guiTexture.texture = number3;
		}
		if ((ScoreCount.score + 70) % 100)
		{
			guiTexture.texture = number3;
		}
		if ((ScoreCount.score + 75) % 100)
		{
			guiTexture.texture = number2;
		}
		if ((ScoreCount.score + 80) % 100)
		{
			guiTexture.texture = number2;
		}
		if ((ScoreCount.score + 85) % 100)
		{
			guiTexture.texture = number1;
		}
		if ((ScoreCount.score + 90) % 100)
		{
			guiTexture.texture = number1;
		}
		if ((ScoreCount.score + 95) % 100)
		{
			guiTexture.texture = number0;
		}
		if ((ScoreCount.score + 100) % 100)
		{
			guiTexture.texture = number0;
		}
	}
}

:smile: i look forward to seeing more of your wisdom!

ah of course, the == 0 at the end! how forgetful am i…
