How to do this.. HELP?

[pablor]

Hello:

I am working on a "game" using Filemaker Pro 4.0 but I reached a point where I am stuck.

I have Field "A" with 2 options in a pull down menu ( 1 and 2) and another field "B" with other 2 options in other pull down menu (3 and 4).

When the user selects one option in A and then one option in B, the value of a variable increases by 1.

Different combinations of selections in A and B increase different variables.

Example:

User selects A2 then

User selects B3

variable "change" changes from 0 to 1.

Clear the screen from previous selections

User selects A2 then

User selects B3

variable "change" changes from 1 to 2.

clear the screen from previous selections

then

User selects A1 then

User selects B3

the variable "Jump" changes from 0 to 1.

I have been trying for a couple of days with no luck!!

Any help would be really appreciated

Thanks in advance

Add a button for the user to click that resets the variable.

Thank you for replying but could you give me some advice regarding the counter (how to increase the value of a variable after selecting some options in two fields?).

I have tried using conditionals in the field and in the scripts but nothing has worked

Thank you again

Here's a script that would handle what you've outlined.

If [ A = 2 and B = 3 ]

Thank you for your post:

I tried the script but the "change" and "jump" fields don't count(0,1,2; I can't even see any number in the field) after making the selections in fields A and B.

Any ideas

Have the change and jump fields been defined as number fields?
