Score Board?

Unity Engine
1

Anyone mind to share how to do a score board?
When an object kills something, it put a score to the board.

There is only one scoreboard, and lots of objects want to interact with it, so it makes sense to have a single GameController object that handles tasks like keeping score and ending the game. I believe the racing tutorial has an example of such an object.

You can either have each object send a message which the controller is listening for:
http://unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/GameObject.SendMessage.html

Or each object can directly call a GameController method directly. This requires that the object “find” the GameController in the scene. The wiki’s AManagerClass script is perfect for this:
http://www.unifycommunity.com/wiki/index.php?title=AManagerClass

Hope this gives you some ideas. Once the GameController has been told that the score has increased, it simply needs to increment a variable that it has been keeping the score in, then print that score into a GUIText on the screen.

I will post some code for my example of scoring when I get home tonight.

looking forward to it davey :smile: and thanks bampf for the ref.

Place this script onto a guiText that you want to keep your score:

Score Script:

var score = 0;

function Start () {
     guiText.text = score.ToString();
}

function AddToScore () {
    score++;
    guiText.text = score.ToString();
}

Put this script onto the object that gets destroyed.

// Place the Score guiText onto the score variable in this script
var score : GameObject;

function Kill () { // or whatever
     score.GetComponent("Score").AddToScore();
     Destroy (gameObject);
}

hmm followed ur steps, but it seem not working for me :<…do u mind making a unitypackage as sample?

Sure. Take a look at this:

Thanks Daniel, got tied up with the kids last night.

9 
function Update () {
	if (transform.position.y < 0)
		Kill();
}

var score : GameObject; 
function Kill () { 
     score.GetComponent("Score").AddToScore(); 
     Destroy (gameObject); 
}

Hi daniel, as i understand that the code

function Update () {
	if (transform.position.y < 0)
		Kill();
}

is to detect when the enemy dies right ? but for my scene here, the monster is getting killed by the sentry gun. So how am i suppose to write in?

It would probably be easiest if you could post your monster script.

11 
var target : Transform;
var duration = 1.0;

function Start () {
	if (!target) {
		target = GameObject.FindWithTag("Player").transform;
		MoveToPlayer();
	}
}

function MoveToPlayer()
{
	startPos = transform.position;
	endPos = target.position;
	
	for (t=0.0; t < duration; t+= Time.deltaTime)
	{
		transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(startPos, endPos, t/duration);
		yield;
	}
	
}

This is the monsterscript.js , but do this script helps? :?

12

Does the monster have some hit points or something? If it does post that script.

13 
var hitPoints = 100.0;
var dieSound : AudioClip;
function ApplyDamage (damage : float)
{
	// We already have less than 0 hitpoints, maybe we got killed already?
	if (hitPoints <= 0.0)
		return;

	hitPoints -= damage;
	if (hitPoints <= 0.0)
	{
		Detonate();
	}
}

function Detonate ()
{
	// Destroy ourselves
	Destroy(gameObject);
	
	// Play a dying audio clip
	if (dieSound)
		AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint(dieSound, transform.position);

}

static function CopyTransformsRecurse (src : Transform,  dst : Transform)
{
	dst.position = src.position;
	dst.rotation = src.rotation;
	
	for (var child : Transform in dst)
	{
		// Match the transform with the same name
		var curSrc = src.Find(child.name);
		if (curSrc)
			CopyTransformsRecurse(curSrc, child);
	}
}

this, CharacterDamage.js

Great, that’s just the script.

Just put it under the function Detonate.

// Place the score GUI into this variable
var score : GameObject;

function Detonate () 
{ 
   // Destroy ourselves 
   Destroy(gameObject); 
    
   // Play a dying audio clip 
   if (dieSound) 
      AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint(dieSound, transform.position); 

     score.GetComponent("Score").AddToScore(); 
     Destroy (gameObject); 
}
