pablor Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 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 Pablor FileMaker Pro 4.0 [ February 16, 2002, 11:32 PM: Message edited by: pablor ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danjacoby Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 Add a button for the user to click that resets the variable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablor Posted February 17, 2002 Author Share Posted February 17, 2002 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 Pablo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 Here's a script that would handle what you've outlined. If [ A = 2 and B = 3 ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablor Posted February 20, 2002 Author Share Posted February 20, 2002 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 Pablo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 Have the change and jump fields been defined as number fields? Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
