User variable

VariableNo. 9291

Synopsis

Every user has their own value. You choose the name, whether it “Has value” and the duration: “While the user is in the room” is deleted when they leave, and “Permanent” is kept between visits and when the island reloads. Changing the duration may ask you to confirm deleting previous values. It is given with Effect: Give variable; it is the basis for points, keys and personal progress.

Step by step

Each keko keeps their own points

Boxes you need

  1. TriggerTrigger: Say something
  2. AddonAddon: Variable value in text
  3. EffectEffect: Give variable
  4. EffectEffect: Change variable value
  5. EffectEffect: Show message
  1. Open the User variable, name it “points”, enable “Has value”, choose “While the user is in the room” and save.
  2. On another tile, place “Says something”, “Give variable”, “Change variable value”, “Variable text” and “Show message”. Set the trigger to “add”.
  3. In “Give variable”, click Users, select points and the triggering user, set the initial value to 0 and do not overwrite existing values. In “Change value”, use points from the triggering user and add 5.
  4. In “Variable text”, select points under Users, the triggering user, numeric and individual output, and the text name “points”. Set the message to “You have $(points) points”, targeting the triggering user. Save every box.
  5. Say “add” twice, leaving a second between messages. Ask another person to say it once.

Result: Your messages show 5 and then 10; the other person starts at 5. Each keko owns a separate value.

Notes

  • With this availability, the value is removed when the user leaves. Choose Permanent before starting to preserve it between visits; changing availability may require confirming the deletion of existing values.
  • A “while in room” variable is quietly deleted on leaving, without firing Trigger: Variable changes.
  • A permanent variable stays after leaving and survives an island reload.
  • Picking up the variable's box deletes the variable and all its saved values. When you place it again, it's empty.
