Item Collecting

Item Collecting

This recipe explains how to add collectable items to your game.

Create the item

First create a new object that will be our new collectable item. In our example we used a coin, which we will use to increment a score counter.

Trigger when touched

When the player touches the item, remove it from the game

Add a new Collision trigger, and set it to the type of your player object. This way, the trigger will fire when the player contacts it.

(Optionally) Play a sound

When the player collects an item, play a sound

Add a sound behavior

Add a new Sound behavior, and select a sound to play. A custom sound can be played instead by adding an .mp3 URL.

When the play input is connected to the Collision trigger's hit output, the selected sound will play when the player touches the item.

Remove the item

Add a new Destroyer behavior. When connected to the output of the Sound behavior, this will remove the item object from the game when the sound plays.

Update the Player's Score

Keep track of collected items

Trigger when touching the item

When the player touches the item, increment the score.

Add a new Collision trigger, and set it to the type of your item object. This way, the trigger will fire when the player contacts it.

Track the Score

Add a new Number behavior to store the score. Connect the hit output of the Collision trigger to the + input of the Number behavior. This will increment the number each time the Player touches the collectable item.

Display the New Score

Add a new Label behavior to display the score. Connect the output of the Number trigger to the value input of the Label behavior. This will display the newly updated score value on the screen.
