The Object Counter is an Action Block. It is used to count events or objects; it can then activate triggers, Signals, or other conditionals based on that count.
Notes[]
- The Object Counter can be attached to any other block using any of its six surfaces.
- The "star" counter used by the Object Counter can be used to track nearly anything. For example, the counter can be programmed to respond based on collecting objects with Is Loot tiles, touching a particular block (via a Signal), or entering a Trigger Zone. This is set up in an object's Programming Window - the desired event can be set up to execute an Add or Subtract Action (to increment or decrement the Counter when it happens).
- The Object Counter's onscreen UI can be displayed for gameplay purposes, or can be hidden from the player. Hiding the UI is done by adding the Hide UI tile to the Object Counter's Programming Window.
