Attempt-Based Data 1 (2.1)

Guide info#

Tiny: 2-4 minutes

• Summary

• • You can save data between attempts by changing the priority order of Collision blocks.

• • Changing the priority will change the order Collision triggers are activated in, and this is saved between attempts.

• • You can use this feature to save binary values between attempts.

1: Setup

This setup will involve three parts: The Collision blocks themselves, the Collision triggers, and the Move triggers that make everything work.

• Collision blocks

**1. **Place down a collision block and assign it to block ID A. Enable the Dynamic Block setting and assign the block to Group A. **2. **Place down two collision blocks, one on top of the other, a few grid spaces to the right of the one you placed in the last step. Assign one of them to block ID B and Group B and the other to block ID C and Group C. **3. **Place down a Move Trigger. Set the Move X value to 10*the grid spaces and the Target Group to Group A.

You should end up with something like this.

• Collision triggers

These triggers will use the priority of the collision blocks to set an Item ID’s value to 0 or 1.

• If block B has the higher priority, block C will be Toggled off, setting the Item ID’s value to 0. • If block C has the higher priority, the Pickup trigger will be activated, setting the Item ID’s value to 1.

None

To set up the collision triggers, follow the instructions below.

**1. **Place down a Collision Trigger and set the BlockA value to block ID A. Set the BlockB value to ID B, and set the Target ID to Group C. Ensure that Activate Group is not enabled. **2. **Place down another Collision Trigger. Set the BlockA value to block ID A, the BlockB value to ID C, and the Target ID to a new Group D. Activate Group should be enabled here. **3. **Place down a Pickup Trigger, and make it add 1 to a new Item ID A. Select ‘Spawn triggered’, and assign it to Group D.

Your setup should now resemble this.

None

• Move triggers

Here, we’ll set up the move triggers that actually change the Priority Order.

**1. **Place down a Move Trigger and set the Target ID to Group B, the Move Time to 0, and the Move X value to 50. **2. **Place down a new Move Trigger one block to the right of the first. Set the Target ID to Group B, the Move Time to 0.03, and the Move X value to -50. **3. **Make sure both triggers are Spawn Triggered and assign them to a new Group E. **4. **Place down two more Move triggers with the same setup, but set their Target Groups to Group C and add both to a new Group F.

Your Move Trigger setup should now look something like this.

Now, all you need to do is activate Group E for the counter to be set to 1, and F for it to be set to 0.

You can freely change these values during a level as long as the Collision triggers are active. These values will remain constant between attempts.
